The following conversion chart is a general guideline to determine your size. Your exact size will ultimately depend on the structure of your individual foot and the style of the shoe. It is for your reference only. Please make sure your exact size before placing your order!
 

Sizes and widths

BIRKENSTOCK provides most of its shoes in two different widths.
- regular
- narrow

Sometimes shoes are only available in one width which corresponds to a regular (normal) wide foot. You can choose between: regular width which fits all normal feet and narrow width which fits narrow/slender feet. Medium is inbetween both widths. The difference between regular and narrow width is approx. 0.2 mm in the back and approx. 7 mm in the front.

All shoes are measured in metric sizes. Using the following table you can convert your sizes to european sizes.

Shoe fit
The correct size:
You should get the correct length, if you know the size of the shoes you normally wear. Keep this size in mind and convert it to the german size from the table above. The normal width should fit most of the feet. If you are convinced you have narrow/ slender feet in comparison to other peoples feet then you should choose the narrow width (not available for all products !).

You should have a few millimeters space in the heel and toe areas. Your toes should not press against the cork rim at the front nor should your heel press against the back rim. This will improve the longevity of your BIRKENSTOCKs and give you the best comfort.
