Birkenstock Arizona concrete gray suede/oiled leather

Birkenstock makes footwear in regular (R) and narrow (N) widths.  Regular fits medium to wide feet, and narrow fits narrow to medium feet.  The narrow width has a bit more of an angle from the big toe to the pinky toe than the regular width, causing it to fit a bit shorter.  If you are a medium width who can wear either a regular or narrow Birkenstock, you will probably wear one size larger in the narrow width.  For example, a US women's size 8 medium might wear either a 38R or 39N.  In a proper fit, you should have about 1/8- to 1/4-inch of space in front of your toes and behind your heel to allow for proper break-in of the cork footbed.

Birkenstock enclosed shoes with removable footbeds often fit a bit trimmer than the Classic Footbed and Soft Footbed styles, so some customers step up a size in the enclosed shoes.   

DANSKO:

Most Dansko styles are made in one medium width. (A select few are also available in narrow (N) or wide (W) widths.)  Customers who wear a Birkenstock regular width usually wear one size larger in Dansko. For example, a 38R Birkenstock often wears size 39 in Dansko.  Customers who wear a Birkenstock narrow width usually wear the same size in Dansko.  For example, a 38N Birkenstock often wears size 38 in Dansko.

Dansko Stapled Clogs, such as the Professional, are designed to allow a bit of movement in the heel as you walk.  These styles have a rocker bottom and feel like wearing an open back clog.  The heel counter gives the look of a full shoe and provides heel protection and stability, but it should not be tight against the heel of your foot.  In a proper fit, there is usually enough room to slide a finger between the heel of your foot and the heel counter of the clog.  As you walk, your heel should move up and down freely without rubbing.

HAFLINGER: 

It has been our experience that the Haflinger Grizzly Clogs run size-consistent with Birkenstock regular width sizing.

SMARTWOOL SOCKS:

Most Smartwool socks are unisex. Smartwool socks that are specifically labeled as Women's have a narrower heel and a slimmer fit.
