how to find the perfect size for your birkenstocks
pro tip #1
Your feet may expand during the day, so it's best to measure them in the evening.
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.
pro tip #2
We recommend using a pencil or a ball pen. A thick pen, such as a felt-tip or marker, can distort the result.

OPTIMUM SPACE
AT THE HEEL
There should be a space of approx. 5 mm between the heel and the footbed edge.
AT THE TOES
There should be a space of approx. 10 mm between the toes and the footbed edge.
pro tip #3
You can determine the perfect fit for your Birkenstock sandal with open straps.
If your toes touch the edge of the footbed or if they just out over it, the sandal is too small.
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.
