Comfort for the well-being of your feet
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.
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.
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.


how to find the perfect fit and adjust straps correctly
Place your foot on the footbed while standing upright.
pro tip #3
You can determine the perfect fit for your Birkenstock sandal with open straps.

optimum fit of lower strap
Adjust the lower strap so that there is space of approx. 5 mm between the strap and the arch of the foot.

optimum fit of upper strap
There should be space of approx. 10 mm between
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.
