FIND YOUR PERFECT PAIR OF SANDALS
A well-fitted BIRKENSTOCK doesn’t just look good – it supports your body from the ground up.
Whether you’re new
to the brand or looking to refine your fit, our step-by-step
guide makes it easy to find your match.
WHY FIT MATTERS:
The perfect fit does more than feel good. It helps:
- Promote foot health through even weight distribution.
- Support natural posture by aligning your foot correctly.
- Maximise cushioning with proper heel and arch placement.
- Prevent discomfort from pressure points or friction.
MEASURING YOUR FOOT.
Getting your ideal BIRKENSTOCK fit is easy. Just follow these simple steps to find your ideal fit.
PRO TIPS:
- Measure your larger foot – it’s normal for one to be slightly bigger or longer.
- Measure in the evening for accurate measurements as feet tend to expand throughout the day.
- Use a pencil or ballpoint pen for accuracy – thick markers can throw off your measurements.
- You can also make use of our printable sizing template for easier measurement.
STEP-BY-STEP:
MEASURING YOUR FOOT.
TO BEGIN:
Stand straight, with your foot on a sheet of paper and your heels against the wall.
MEASURE WIDTH:
Mark the inner and outer sides of the ball of your foot.
MEASURE LENGTH:
Mark in front of the longest toe on your foot on the paper.
FITTING YOUR SANDAL.
A good fit means the footbed does the work – not your feet. Here’s how to make sure your BIRKENSTOCKS fit just right.
PRO TIPS:
- Loosen all the straps before you begin for a true fit.
- Stand upright while checking foot placement.
- BIRKENSTOCK offers Regular and Narrow footbeds – be sure to choose the one that suits you best.
STEP-BY-STEP:
FIND YOUR FIT.
TOO SMALL:
Toes touching or hanging over the edge?
Try the next size up.
TOO BIG:
If your toes or heel are more than 10 mm from the edge, you may need a smaller size.
TOO NARROW:
If your toes or the ball of your foot spill over the sides, try a Regular fit.
ADJUSTING STRAPS.
Take a few steps to test the fit – your foot should feel secure, with room to move naturally. Adjust as needed.
STEP-BY-STEP:
ADJUST YOUR STRAPS.
LOWER STRAP:
Leave about 5mm between the strap and the top of your foot.
UPPER STRAP:
Allow roughly 10mm of space across the bridge of your foot.
