Birkenstocks fit true to size on most customers. Your feet should be able to move freely without your toes hitting the edge of the footbed. The Birkenstock shoebox features a handy foot measuring template.
Birkenstocks come in two widths, a narrow width and a normal width. In general we carry the narrow width for sizes 40 and below (sorted as women's sandals in our web store), and the normal width for 40 and up (sorted as men's).
Invest a little time to care for your leather shoes every now and again, and you will be rewarded with shoes that last longer and look great.
How often you need to treat your shoes varies greatly depending on usage, weather and the terrain you're in. But when you feel it's time for a little care, we recommend to follow these easy steps:
Clean
Simply clean your suede shoes with a clean damp cloth, this is especially important to do if they've been exposed to salty slush during winter. Allow to dry.
For stains and spots, a crepe brush easily removes stains while preserving the nep of the suede. If needed for tougher stains, use a leather cleaner.
Protect
Add extra protection to preserve your footwear. Saphir's Super Invulner spray waterproofs the most delicate leathers, and offers superior protection against water, stains and grease. This will protect your shoes from water and dirt.
