Birkenstocks

[sillylittlethings]

I want to order a pair online.
Are they true to size?
Thank you.

I always size down. I'm a 39 but 38 in Birkenstocks.

Ditto the above, I've even got 37 on

Definitely size down.

Everyone says size down however dd and I both wear our normal size .

Oh I just got my size and haven't had problems... Sorry to muddy the waters!

I wear usual my size but buy the narrow ones which I find fit me much better

They have a size guide

I don’t find them especially long, but the regular size is wide, so I go for narrow fit.

True to size, but wide. So if, like me, you tend to size up for width purposes, you won't need to.

As with the first postets, I go down a size. 40 in most makes, 39 in Birkesnstocks

I buy my usual size but my feet are a bit wide.

I have my usual size!

I wear my usual size.

Now I'm even more confused! Thank you all for the quick responses though.
I'd say I need the slim for and I'm usually a 6 (39).
I'm looking at the suede ones with two straps and big buckles.
Do you all find them comfortable?
I don't usually wear sandals and stick to trainers as I walk quite a bit during the day. Not long walks but school runs, popping to the shops, wandering around large office block etc

I'll draw round my feet and measure them. Thanks for the link.

I go for my usual size, but I also have slightly wide feet. The size guide is good (I'm looking to replace one of my pairs). I walk a lot too and find the last a few years.

I have 2 pairs of arizonas with soft soles and in my usual size but I have wide feet

They are the most comfortable shoes I've worn and I also have the suede clogs too

Try a different pair on in shop x

I'm a 5.5 but wear a size 5 in them, think they'd be too small if I went a full size down. They're very comfortable.

Thank you alll.
I haven't time to get to a shop before I go away. I'll order half a size smaller in the slim fit and cross my fingers!

I’m usually a size 5 (38). I used to size down to a 4 (37) as that’s what I’d read/heard. Always found them a bit uncomfortable as my foot didn’t sit properly on the footbed and my toes brushed against the front edges.
bought a pair of the Arizona big buckle last year in a size 5. They fitted perfectly and are so comfortable. Can walk miles in them. Game changer!

Use the fit guide. I see so many people wearing the wrong size or incorrectly adjusted. Your feet are supposed to have room and the straps shouldn't be tight.

Be aware that you will need to break them in. Wearing them with socks is the quickest way.

I wear the same size as my usual size but they are wide - I wish I’d bought the slim fit.

How long does it take to break them in? I'm finding them the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn.

I agree. I’ve had mine for a few years now and still find them uncomfortable - they are for looks only.
