Birkenstock size guide: narrow or regular width and which size to choose

Birkenstock sandals are chosen with three pieces of information: the size, which depends on the length of your foot, the width, narrow or regular, which depends on how wide it is, and the model's fit. They're the same models made in two widths. At faraone.shop you'll find Birkenstock in narrow width, the sleeker version. In this Birkenstock size guide you'll find the chart with foot length and width and how the Arizona, Madrid and Boston fit.

Narrow or regular width: what's the difference?

The width only concerns how wide the footbed is: the same model, for example the Arizona, comes in two versions with the same size.

• Narrow width: about 5 millimetres slimmer, with a sleeker line on the foot;
• Regular width: wider, designed for broad feet;
• How to recognise it: a footprint is printed on the footbed, solid for narrow width and outlined, just the contour, for regular width.

How do you measure your foot for Birkenstock?

Measure barefoot, with your heel against a wall: mark the tip of your big toe and measure the length in millimetres. Then measure the width at the widest point of the foot. The length gives you the size; the width tells you whether narrow width suits your foot. Birkenstock has no half sizes: if you're between two sizes, take the larger one.
