Widths: Regular vs. Narrow

Birkenstock styles come in two widths. Regular fits medium to wide feet (women's width equivalent C - D; men's D - EE). Narrow fits narrow to medium feet (women's width equivalent A - B; men's B - C) - the Narrow width fits most women's feet. Look for the footprint icon online and on the shoe box: an outlined footprint means Regular width, a filled footprint means Narrow width.

Testing the Fit

Before trying them on, flex the footbed by placing one hand under the toe and one under the heel - this begins the break-in period. Open all the straps, step in, then fasten them comfortably. Your toes should not touch the edge of the footbed; aim for about 1/4 inch of space around your foot. While breaking them in, keep the straps loose at first, wear them around the house for 1 - 2 hours at a time, and gradually increase wear time as the footbed molds to your feet.

Questions, answered

Before you buy.

Pulled from chats, emails and store visits. The things people actually ask us before they buy. Don't see yours?

Ask a question

Do Birkenstock sandals run large?

Yes — Birkenstock uses EU sizing and the Arizona runs large. We recommend ordering one size down from your usual US size.

What's the difference between the soft and original footbed?

The soft footbed adds an integrated latex foam layer for cushioning from day one, while the original footbed is firmer and molds to your foot over time.

Should I choose Regular or Narrow width?

Regular fits medium to wide feet; Narrow suits slimmer feet. Both straps adjust for fine-tuning.

Can I wear these with socks?

Absolutely — the Arizona pairs well with socks for cooler days or a layered look.
