Orleans Shoe Co. — Fitted in Person
Men's Birkenstock
Arizona, Boston, Tokio, Milano and the work clogs. The cork footbed molds to your foot over the first week or two and then it's yours.
Two things to get right
Size and Footbed Width
Birkenstock runs in European sizes with no half sizes, and comes in a regular or narrow footbed. Get either wrong and the shoe never feels right. Come in and we'll sort both in five minutes.
Men's Size Conversion
| Birkenstock | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | 47 | 48 | 49 | 50 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| US Men's | 5–5½ | 6–6½ | 7–7½ | 8–8½ | 9–9½ | 10–10½ | 11–11½ | 12–12½ | 13–13½ | 14–14½ | 15–15½ | 16–16½ | 17–17½ |

Regular or Narrow Footbed
Check the footprint symbol stamped on the footbed — a wider outline is regular, a narrower one is narrow. Most men fit regular. Not every style comes in both.
Your Foot Should Sit Inside the Footbed
Toes about a finger's width from the front, heel in the cup, no overhang at the sides. That's the fit. If your foot is spilling over the edge, the sandal is too small no matter how the length feels.
