Converting from American Sizes to European Sizes

Tatami, Footprints, Birki's, Birkenstock, Alpro, Sanita, Finn Comfort, and Naot are manufactured using a European size measurement. This system uses whole sizes only because the increments, from one size to the next, are only about 1/4 inch.

The quickest way to figure out your European size would be to add:

30 to your American size for women
33 to your American size for men
17 to your American size for kids

Example: If you wear a ladies 8, add 30. Your European size should be 38. The catalogue chart doesn't always agree, but we have found these numbers to work best.

The Two-Widths System
In order to enjoy the comfort of our wellness styles we offer most of our styles in two widths. That way the pair you choose is sure to give you a perfect fit. The proper width is equally as important as the right size, because both factors combined offer you perfect standing and firm hold within the shoe – and these are vitally important for maintaining the health of your feet. Therefore, pay attention to these symbols when buying our footwear:

  For slim and slender feet
  For regular and stronger feet


The Proper Length
The proper size, i.e. the proper length of our shoes is very important for comfort and foot health. When buying your Birkis please make sure that your feet have enough room. It is necessary for the rolling motion during natural step formation. Your feet should always have a few millimetres of space in the toe and heel area so that toes and heel do not touch the footbed rim.

* Go up a size in the plastic and polyurethane models.

Be Careful!
Birkenstock Feet

The most important things that a shoe must do are:

1. Let your feet assume their natural position, and...
2. Help to distribute your total body weight evenly across your feet.

Remember that the shoes may have a loose fit and can take some getting used too. They will start out stiff, but as you wear them, they will become molded to your feet and become very flexible. Just take your time. This adjustment period is normal.

Because all brands vary slightly in length, there can be no exact conversion or chart. In other words, what one shoe manufacturer calls a size 8 may really be a size 7 to another. The following information provides very helpful guidelines to determine a good fit. You can always trace your feet on paper and fax it to (805) 541-1496. Be sure to keep the pen perpendicular to the sheet of paper when tracing your foot.
