About Birkenstock: The Birkenstock brand, originating from Germany in 1774, is renowned for its superior quality footwear and its emphasis on European craftsmanship. Known for their innovation in footbed design, Birkenstock products provide comfort and support features such as contoured arches, ample toe room, and shock-absorbing soles. The brand's commitment to sustainability is reflected in their choice of materials, which include cork, latex, and jute fiber, among others. Birkenstock is globally recognized for its comfortable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing designs, and is chosen for its quality, brand recognition, and minimalistic aesthetic.

 

Birkenstock Ladies’ Sandals fit

Birkenstock ladies' sandals are known for their superior comfort and unique fit. They are designed to support the natural shape of a woman's foot, providing ample space for movement. The sandals come in two widths: narrow and regular. The narrow fit is indicated by 'N' and the regular fit by 'M'. Regular width is akin to a medium width in standard footwear. It's important to note that there should ideally be about 1/4" of space in front of the toes and behind the heels for optimal comfort. The straps, which can be adjusted for a perfect fit, should sit comfortably without pinching, with the strap closest to the ankle providing the most security. As with any new footwear, there's a break-in period, so it's recommended to wear them for short periods initially, allowing your feet to adjust to the arch support and straps.

Birkenstock Men’s Sandals fit

Birkenstock men's sandals are designed with the same attention to detail and commitment to comfort as their women's counterparts. They focus on supporting the natural structure of a man's foot, offering plenty of space for movement and freedom. The sandals are available in two widths, narrow and regular, which are indicated by 'N' and 'M' respectively. Regular width in Birkenstock is comparable to a medium width in standard men's footwear. For an ideal fit, there should be about 1/4" of space in front of the toes and behind the heel. The straps of the sandals are adjustable to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit without any discomfort or pinching. The strap closest to the ankle is crucial for providing optimal security. Like all Birkenstock footwear, there's a break-in period, so it's advised to wear the sandals for short periods at first, allowing your feet to adjust to the unique arch support and straps.

Birkenstock Childrens’s Sandals fit

Birkenstock children's sandals are designed to provide an optimal fit and superior comfort for growing feet. It's worth noting that Birkenstock sandals generally run true to size. The sandals are available in narrow and regular widths, ensuring a good fit for different foot shapes. The adjustment straps can be fine-tuned for a perfect fit, and walking in the sandals can help ascertain if the fit is right. Over time, the leather may stretch, necessitating slight adjustments for continued comfort. Like all Birkenstock footwear, there's a break-in period, so it's recommended to begin with wearing the sandals for short periods, allowing the child's feet to adjust to the unique arch support and straps.

Aftercare

How to Look After birkenstock Sandals?

For mild cases of dirt or stains, a quick brush and wipe should suffice. The soles of Birkenstock sandals are made of cork, which is a porous material. Care should be taken while cleaning them. You should use a damp cloth or a soft brush, ensuring not to wet the cork too much. Suede surfaces can be spot-cleaned with a suede eraser.
