• Styles can fit differently depending on the Silhouette, Material, and Footbed.
• Unisex styles tend to run wider than others, and Soft Footbed sandals tend to run slightly more narrow than Classic Footbed sandals.

In every BIRKENSTOCK shoe, as well as on the box, the width is indicated using one of the two symbols below:

• Shaded footprint: narrow width
• Non-shaded footprint: regular width

• Some BIRKENSTOCK styles are unisex (e.g. the Arizona) and some have been designed with women's styling and movement in mind (e.g. the Mayari and Madrid).
• Please ensure that you are ordering the correct gender/size/fit during checkout.
