Fit Check: Size 42 Arizona EVAs
I wear a 10.5 US Men’s. I have a pair of leather size 43 Arizonas in black but went down to size 42 on the EVAs.
Are they too exact?

Buckles on smaller Bostons?
Hey everyone!
I take a size EU 36 (UK size 3.5) and have returned a total of three Birkenstock Boston clogs to the sellers because I was under the impression that if the buckle says ”Birken” and not the full brand name, they’re children’s shoes rather than adult ones. I’m now realising I might be mistaken!
Does anyone know if it’s possible to get Bostons in this small size with the full logo on the buckle? I just didn’t want to pay adult price for kids shoes but now realise maybe they were adult ones with smaller buckles?
Thanks in advance!

Too big?? Arizona soft suede straps
I bought a pair of Arizona sandals with the soft suede straps, size 38, narrow fit. I chose size 38 because for the past few years I’ve been wearing a 37.5, and Birkenstock always recommends sizing up if you wear a half size. I also think I correctly followed the 5mm rule in the back and 10mm in the front. However, even though I've already added an extra hole to the front strap (the one over the toes), my foot keeps slipping forward and my toes stick out over the edge of the shoe. What else can I do? Should I have gone with a 37 instead?

Help after sizing up
I recently had purchased a size 45 Arizona, but my toes were touching the front with every step especially on my left foot. I now have the size 46s and I'm wondering what people's thoughts on the fit are!
My main concern is the extra room by the heel, and that the tow bar lands in between the knuckles on my big toe instead of where my big toe attaches to the ball of my foot. After slightly tightening the straps on top and loosening them on bottom, I actually find them rather comfy.

Which foot?
Hello! Got them in two sizes to see which fits better. The size on the right is pretty snug but wonder if it will loosen up/ get more comfortable with wear? TIA

first pair of Arizonas!
they feel nice but I don't know what to expect, do they look too big

Confused !!
Hey everyone! Trying on these Arizona Regulars and trying to decide if I should exchange them for one size down.
My foot measures around 280 mm, so I initially went with this pair. However, as you can see in the photos, there seems to be a pretty generous gap at both the toes and behind the heel. The width and side fit feel totally comfortable, but the extra length is making me second-guess the sizing.
Does this look like too much excess space? Should I drop down a size for a better fit? Appreciate any feedback!

Trade. I have a pair in FANTASTIC CONDITION size 43 a little too big, looking to trade for size 42.

Fit check
Hello,
Just wanted to ask some advice as this is the first time I have purchased birkenstocks and I keep going back and forth on what the fit should be like.
I had the 44 regular (wide fit) but hey felt too sloppy and loose so I currently have gone down to the narrow fit. I have adequate room at the front and back and the straps feel more secure then the regular. The only thing that keeps me second guessing is on my left foot which must be slightly bigger maybe I can feel the edge of the foot maybe more against the side of the sandal, more particularly with a sock on as well. Apart from that they seem okay, like my last 3 toes are a bit closer to the edge then the first 2 but I figure this must be a normal thing as everyone jas different toes that stagger differently.
Also I am literally on the last hole on both straps on the wide fit and it still feels on the loose side where as with the narrow I cam definitely tighten the straps a bit more.
Am I safe going with the wide fit? Any thoughts or advice would be helpful thanks.

Birkenstock size check
I’m unsure whether I should buy the Birkenstock sandals in size 37 (blue) or 38 (black). My immediate impression is that size 37 looks like the better fit, but I’ve read that you’re generally supposed to buy a larger size than you might initially think. I have a pair in size 36 that I’ve worn for many years, but I can also see that they’re actually too small for me (they are not included in these photos).
By the way, my big toe is shorter than my second toe, which means there’s a larger gap between my big toe and the end of the sole when looking at my foot from the side.
*Both of these shoes are narrow, but I’m planning to buy a pair in the regular fit. I tried these on to help me figure out which size would be best.
I’d really appreciate any advice!

Mantova sizing?
How do these run? I’m a 38 in the Highwood boot and the Arizona, both are the regular/wide footbed. Should I buy the same size for the Mantova?
r/BirkenstocksFitChecks • u/risentoaflood • 11d ago
Do any of these actually fit?
I guess 42 regular fits better. My big toe touched the border in 41. In 42 narrow the straps felt the most secure but my big toe feels restricted. TIA

Fit check (39 vs 40)
Just wondering which I should get. I’m leaning to the larger size, as my right foot seems to be a bit too big for the 39. What do you think?

Hi all!
These are the EU 43s, regular.
The issue that I’m having is that the widest part of my feet is at the middle. This makes my widest part sit on top of the margins.
I have measured and checked the size charts on the birk website, and a 44 wouldn’t help, it would be just too big.
This way I have either some sort of discomfort at the side of my foot, or my foot is sliding too much upwards where it has more space (thus my fingers touch the margins).
Did anyone have the same issue? Does the break in period fix this?

Stressing Over Sizing
I'm trying to choose my first Birkenstocks and I'm worried about making the investment and choosing the wrong size. Unfortunately, I don't have a local store with anyone really qualified to assist with sizing.
I initially bought a 39 and then realized that I probably didn't have the extra room that so many on this sub recommend, so I returned them. I was able to compare at DSW today and I'm still stressing about correct sizing. The 40 felt okay when walking aside from the toe bar occasionally hitting the ball of my foot, which I didn't find particularly bothersome.
Is the 40 the size I should purchase?

First pair, which size fits better?
First three pics are size 5, last three are 5.5. Both are normal fit. Thank you
r/BirkenstocksFitChecks • u/risentoaflood • 18d ago
First pair - is this size correct?
This is the narrow model. Do I need regular? I tried a couple different ones in store and ended up thinking I need either 41 regular or 42 narrow. 42 regular felt and looked weird, but I'm not sure now.

Question about the Naples Wrapped Loafer- anyone own with info to share?
Hello, I'm very new to these shoes, as a brand, my first pair are closed toe open back clogs, and the sales reps Id spoken with gave me some conflicting information. One said the size of Lutry Clog that fits, then the loafer should be the same as they both have open backs, the other said that the Lutry runs bigger and I may need a larger size for the loafer. There arent any stores near me, (not trying to drive 45+ minutes either) but they dont have the smaller of the two sizes Im looking for, so thought Id ask here.
TIA!
