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 BIRKENSTOCK 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.
