Sizing Information
BIRKENSTOCK:
Birkenstock makes footwear in regular (R, open footprint) and narrow (N, filled in footprint) widths.* Regular fits medium to wide feet, and narrow fits medium to narrow 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.
A NOTE REGARDING THE WIDTHS IN BIRKENSTOCK SHOES AND BOOTS: Stamped inside the leather uppers of Birkenstock's shoes and boots, which are made in Portugal, Birkenstock uses different letters to indicate the widths! If you are looking at a size stamped inside the uppers on a shoe or boot, the "N" actually stands for the German word "normale," which means regular width, and an "S" stands for the German word "schmale," which means narrow width. If you see an "L," it stands for "largo," the Portuguese word for wide/regular, and if it is an "E," it indicates "estreito," the Portuguese word for narrow.
Regular width = open footprint = "R" on our website, but stamped inside the uppers of shoes and boots will be either "N" (normale) or "L" (largo).
Narrow width = filled in footprint = "N" on our website, but stamped inside the uppers of shoes and boots will be either "S" (schmale) or "E" (estreito).
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.
SMARTWOOL SOCKS:
Most Smartwool socks are unisex. Smartwool socks that are specifically labeled as Women's have a narrower heel and a slimmer fit.

How do I wash my Darn Tough socks?
Machine wash in warm water on gentle cycle with socks inside-out. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not dry clean.
I think my socks shrunk in the wash. What do I do?
No worries, your socks did not shrink. Like how a pair of jeans feels smaller after you wash them then they stretch back out, our merino wool socks go through the same fabric recovery process. With a little bit of wear, the socks will relax.
Do I need to shrink Darn Tough socks?
No, our socks are preshrunk. They are a snug fit and should be fitted according to your shoe size.
