FIND YOUR PERFECT FIT
Your ideal sandal size and width are:
| Left foot | Right foot |

Length: Width: |
Length: Width: |
If you are unsure about your size, we recommend choosing the next size up, as feet expand slightly during the day. This calculation is based on our Size Chart.
HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT SIZE FOR YOUR BIRKENSTOCKS
You need two sheets of paper (A4), a pencil and a ruler. Our tip: It's best to measure your feet in the evening, as they may expand during the day
Place the sheets of paper on the floor. Stand straight on the paper with your heels against the wall.
Measure the width: with the help of a pencil, mark the outermost points at the left and right side of the balls of your feet.
Measure the length: mark the longest toe of each foot.
Avoid using a thick pen, such as a felt-tip marker, when you measure your foot as thicker lines can affect the results.
HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT FIT AND ADJUST STRAPS CORRECTLY
Place your foot on the footbed while standing upright.
OPTIMUM SPACE AT THE HEEL
There should be a space of approx. 5 mm between the heel and the footbed edge.
OPTIMUM SPACE AT THE TOES
There should be a space of approx. 10 mm between the toes and the footbed edge.
YOU CAN DETERMINE THE PERFECT FIT FOR YOUR BIRKENSTOCK SANDAL WITH OPEN STRAPS.
There should be a space of approx. 10 mm between the toes and the footbed edge.
If there’s too much space
at the toes and the heel,
the sandal is too big.
If the balls of the feet or the toes jut out over the edge at the sides, the sandal is too narrow.
OPTIMUM FIT OF LOWER STRAP
Adjust the lower strap so that there is space of approx. 5mm between the strap and the arch of the foot.
OPTIMUM FIT OF UPPER STRAP
There should be space of approx. 10mm between the upper strap and the arch of the foot.
ADJUST STRAPS
Walk a few steps. Should the straps be too tight or too loose, readjust them. The straps at the left and at the right foot do not necessarily have to be adjusted the same way. Check your straps again after a few days, as the upper can stretch a little over time. Our recommendation: don’t wear new sandals longer than a few hours at a time to break them in slowly.
