Sizing Information
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.

Birkenstock Care Tips:
AVOID EXTREME HEAT
Like many materials found in footwear and apparel, cork footbeds and EVA soles can be damaged by exposure to concentrated heat or extreme temperatures. Do not leave your shoes in direct sunlight for extended periods or in closed cars on hot days. Keep Birkenstock footwear away from campfires, fireplaces, and indoor radiators.
While we do offer a line of water friendly footwear, most styles should not be immersed in water. Over saturation can compromise the integrity of the sealant materials. It can also change the look and finish of the materials. If your shoes become wet, allow them to air dry slowly, away from direct heat.
CLEAN & PROTECT
Birkenstock sandals and clogs come with a light coating of cork sealer on the exposed cork edge. This protects the cork and prevents it from drying out. If the cork looks like it’s drying out, apply a thin coat of Birkenstock Cork Sealer to protect the cork from the elements.
To keep your footwear fresh, spray the entire footbed with Birkenstock Cleaner & Refresher and wipe away excess moisture and dirt with a cloth. Brush suede and nubuck footbeds with a Nubuck/Suede brush to restore the nap.
Apply Birkenstock Water & Stain Repellent regularly to protect upper Leather, Suede and Nubuck from water and dirt. Brush uppers with a Nubuck/Suede brush to pull up dirt and dust and restore the nap.
For Birko-flor and Birkibuc uppers, simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. Try soap and water to remove stubborn stains.
Please bear in mind that any cleaning or treatment can change the look and finish of the materials.
