Birkenstocks are made
using European sizes. This means you need to
convert your familiar U.S. size to its European
counterpart. Please note that Footprints, Birki
Clogs, and Birkis fit one size larger than do Classics,
Papillios, and Tatami styles.
When a
Birkenstock fits correctly, your heel is resting
completely within the heelcup and your foot fits
inside the footbed with just enough extra length
for movement while walking (approximately ¼-inch
at the toes). When you stand, the footbed and toe
bar should follow the contours of your foot. The
strap closest to the toes should be snug, the
other straps should be a little loose to allow
the heel to lift slightly off the footbed while
walking.
IMPORTANT:
When ordering please indicate whether your foot
is Narrow or Regular.
If you have a wider width than average foot, or
any sizing questions (such as odd sizing needs),
please call us at (602) 242-5225 or send email. It's also a good idea
to stand on a plain sheet of paper and trace an
outline of your foot to help us assure you of a
good fit.
