Birkenstock Size Chart

Birkenstock Classic Size Chart

Birkenstock footwear is created in Germany and uses a European sizing system. To find your size you will need to convert your U.S. size to the European equivalent. We always recommend checking the size chart of a given item before adding it to your cart. Our size charts are based on over twenty-five years of Birkenstock fitting experience, but given the large variation of foot shapes and U.S. size variation there will always be exceptions.

Birkenstock Alternate Size Chart

Not all styles fit equally even though they might share the same size. Some styles run a little shorter than their given size. For such cases we created an "Alternate" size chart that takes into account these size differences. For example, Super Birki Clogs tend to run a little short of their stated size. If you normally wear a size 8 U.S. (38 European) and choose a size 38 based on the standard or "Classic" size chart, then the clogs would feel too snug around the toes. This is why we provide an "Alternate" size chart , which in this example recommends you try a size 39. When in doubt refer to the size chart that accompanies a given item.

Birkenstock Width Charts and Width Symbols

Birkenstock designs footbeds in two different widths: Regular and Narrow. Choosing a width is part art and part science. In general, if you always wear narrow shoes, don't have a wide toe box and consistently hear remarks about your slender feet, then Narrows should work for you. Most feet are best suited for Regular width footwear. Note: not all styles are produced in multiple widths. To determine the width of your current Birkenstock footwear refer to the footprint symbol stamped on the footbed and compare to the photos below.
Regular
Designed for medium to wide feet.
(Women's U.S. widths B-C+ and Men's U.S. widths D-EE)
Narrow
Designed for narrow feet.
(Women's U.S. widths AA-B and Men's U.S. widths C-D)
