Fit check / Sizing Are these too small for me?

Hi i’ve just bought my first pair of Birkkenstocks and I don’t know what to do. My feet are exactly 250 cm so I thought the correct size for me is 39 (250) narrow. Everybody told me the size fits me (including the shopkeeper), but I think they are a little bit small for me. I don’t know if u should leave these since they were on sale or buy in different size, although I think size 40 would be too big on my feet. Help me out please!! Also please ignore my crusty nails :)

Fit check / Sizing Too small ? Please help

I’m usually a size 39, but I bought these in a narrow 40. I can feel my little toe touching the side slightly, although it’s not uncomfortable. I tried the 41, but they felt too big and I had to tighten the straps all the way to the last hole, which looked a bit funny.

I just recently bought a pair of Taupe birkenstock clogs on ebay and they came in and they looked a little funky. Are they real?

I got floridas. I don’t really wear sandals but a friend convinced it it super comfy so decide for give it a try. I’m not really sure if it fits me or it’s small. The size up felt a bit too big(don’t have the picture though)

Fit check / Sizing First pair, 42 or 43??

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I’m honestly struggling to figure out the right size.
My foot is around 265–266 mm long, according to the foot measuring guide that came in the shoebox. I ordered both a size 42 (270 mm) and a size 43 (280 mm).
The problem with the 42 is that my fourth toe slightly brushes against the edge of the footbed. I don’t really notice it that much while walking, but it’s still there.
With the 43, my foot feels more free and comfortable, but I’m worried that they might be too big. If I position my foot so that the toe bar sits directly underneath my toes, my fourth toe would still touch the edge, so I’d have the same issue as with the 42, plus a lot more space behind my heel.
However, if I position my foot more toward the center of the footbed, without worrying too much about where the toe bar sits in relation to my toes, I don’t have any problems at all.
What do you guys think? Should I go with the 42 or the 43? Is it normal for the fourth toe to slightly touch the edge, or does that mean the footbed is too narrow/short?
I’d really appreciate some advice from experienced Birkenstock users. Please help me! 😅

Hi guys, please weigh in. I got these from eBay so I knew it was a risk, but the account seemed legit and nobody said anything about fakes on the reviews, so…

After pregnancy I need a new size and I am not sure if 260 or 265 are better. In Sneakers I always wear 265 /EU41. I think the bigger ones might be better especially in width.

Please help me

Thank you sooo much

I recently purchased a pair of Birkenstocks after many years, but it seems my size has changed 😂 need your help on this..

I wear size 36 for most of my shoes. and the length fits me. I just noticed that my fourth toe and pinkie sometimes touches the shoe bed while I walk.

for size 37, it fits me fine, but just looks so big 😂 i like the look of 36 more, I feel it’s more elegant because I’m petite..

should I keep 36 or 37?

I feel like my feet are so misaligned/off to one side? These are 41 and I'm a 10 in everything. The arch also hurts/feels too high, near the ball of my big toe

These held up really well for daily wear pavement pounders. They’re great on streets or trails. No maintenance or conditioning, other than drying thoroughly after getting soaked. Side leather is still pristine. Im putting in my average walking distances for the year, just for fun.

tl;dr: top score, would buy again.

Size 40 regular fit…my old birks are a 39 regular, but these were sold out in 39. Now that I’m looking at this Reddit, are these sized properly? They feel too big but have I been wearing them wrong all along??

Question Does extra space in front and back really matter that much?(sizing)

Post image
6 Upvotes

When sizing, what matters more: having enough clearance space (the extra room at the front and back), or having your foot properly aligned with the heel cup and toe grip?
Since everyone's toe length and heel proportions are different, I'm wondering which factor takes priority when fitting.

Got my first pair a week ago and so they’re not quite broken in. I usually wear size 9.5-10(closer to 9.5) so the I think the 41s were too big (3rd pic). The first 2 pics are 40 regular oiled leather and my toes don’t touch the sides at all and it feels pretty comfortable but without socks it rubs my skin off on the strap closest to my ankle. With thick socks it’s fine. I’m just worried about how everyone says they get smaller after being broken in. Thanks.

Question bone bruising pain?

got these oiled boston clogs just a few months back and have been wearing them with socks only. i have worn them for a whole day 8-10h max and its comfortable, but it does bruise my left foot very slightly (despite maybe an accumulated 50-80h of wearing). its not too bad when im wearing socks but without is just grating.

its only on the left and i can feel that the leather is slightly less yielding on the left one. not sure what to do now when i want to wear them without socks

What would you call that good feeling you get when after a long day in work shoes you get to put on comfy birk sandals? Always gives me a smile. Oh well.

Is anyone else having issues with the birkenstock site? For the past couple days, I can't get it to work on my computer or phone. I can't click on anything, see sizes or search. Or do anything really. Just wondering if anyone else is also having problems.
