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 is the soft footbed?

The soft footbed adds a latex foam layer over the original cork footbed for extra cushioning from day one. The regular footbed is firmer and molds over time.

How is oiled leather different from suede?

Oiled leather is a smooth, supple full-grain leather with a rich finish that develops character with wear; suede has a soft, velvety nap.

How do I care for oiled leather?

Wipe clean and refresh with a leather conditioner. Let damp shoes air-dry away from direct heat.
