The right footwear, the anatomically shaped footbed and a perfect fit form the basis for healthy feet and a healthy gait. With a correct fit sore feet, pressure points or malpositions can be prevented. If you are uncertain about the exact size and width of your next pair of BIRKENSTOCKS, we will gladly help you find the perfect fit - from measuring your feet to adjusting the straps.

To guarantee optimum comfort, we offer our original footbed in two widths: Regular and Narrow.

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 #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.

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.
