For your comfort and support, we offer our original footbed in two widths: 'Regular' for normal to wide feet and 'Narrow' for slimmer feet.
The width of your Birkenstocks is indicated by the footprint shape next to the size.
Choosing the correct fit will keep your feet happy, prevent pressure or rubbing in the wrong places and extend the lifespan of your shoes.
These measurements are footbed dimensions.
We recommend choosing a footbed size by adding 10mm to the length of your foot, and selecting narrow or regular based on your foot width.

In 1963, Birkenstock released their first style: the Madrid. The aesthetic of this minimalist sandal continues to serve as the foundation for Birkenstock’s signature style today.
1973 saw the debut of the Arizona, which soon became a symbol of 1970s counterculture. The two-strap sandal endures as a classic, transcending trends and societal changes.
Birkenstock's 1983 launch of the Gizeh sandal marked a daring move into new territory with its ergonomically shaped toe bar and bold aesthetic.
