Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine my Birkenstock size?
Birkenstock sizes are based on the European sizing system. To find your size, measure your foot length from heel to longest toe and refer to the appropriate size chart. If you're between sizes, it's generally recommended to size up for a more comfortable fit.
What's the difference between regular and narrow widths in Birkenstock footwear?
Birkenstock offers two width options: regular and narrow. The regular width suits those with average to wider feet, while the narrow width is ideal for slim or slender feet. Your foot should fit comfortably within the footbed without spilling over the sides.
Do Birkenstocks run true to size?
Birkenstocks are designed to match your foot's natural shape, so they may feel larger compared to other brands. It's important to refer to the size charts and measure your feet to ensure an accurate fit.
Is there a break-in period for Birkenstocks?
Yes, Birkenstocks may require a short break-in period. Initially, wear them for a few hours each day to allow the footbed to mold to your feet. Over time, they will become more comfortable as they adapt to your unique foot shape.
How should I adjust the straps on my Birkenstocks?
Adjust the straps so they are snug but not too tight. Your foot should be secure, but you should still have some room to move. Over-tightening can cause discomfort and prevent the footbed from molding properly to your feet.
Will Birkenstocks make my feet spread out?
Birkenstocks support natural foot alignment, which can allow your toes to spread to their natural position. This doesn't mean your feet will permanently widen, but they may feel more relaxed compared to wearing narrow-toed shoes.
Are Birkenstocks durable? How long do they last?
With proper care, Birkenstocks can last for several years. The high-quality materials used in both the footbed and uppers contribute to their longevity. Regular cleaning and maintenance can extend the life of your sandals.
