I wear a 7 medium in US (I dont wear any other size such as a 7 narrow, a 7.5 or a 6.5) and ordered a 37 N EU. It fits perfectly. I tried on the 38 N EU in a store and it was a tad long. I have worn Birkenstocks since the 1980s so there were no surprises when I got this pair. . . Comfy and dependable. This is the first time that I ordered the soft foot and they are wonderful. I just returned from a 2 mile walk with my dog and my feet feel pretty good considering that these shoes are brand new. I have a low arch (not flat) and I have to wear them for a couple of weeks before the footbed forms to perfectly accommodate the shape of my arch. Over the years, I have discovered that Birks get even more comfortable with wear. In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy them for my daily dog walks without fear of pain or blisters. If you dont plan on using your Birkenstocks to go on long walks, you dont have to wear them in before you begin to enjoy them. They are ready to wear from out of the box.

I had been looking for Birkenstocks on Amazon for quite awhile. I wanted a soft foot bed and these were advertised as such. The sandals shipped to me were NOT soft foot bed as I was expecting. The seller replied within one day and stated they did not have the soft foot bed, and provided information to return these to them. I decided to go ahead and keep the hard foot bed sandals sent to me, still trying to break them in. Not very comfortable at first. I understand from others that have Brikenstocks, it takes awhile to break them in. I hope I enjoy them once they become more comfortable to wear.

Im size 8.5 and I got a 39 M and it fits wonderfully. Some things to know about Birks: USE THEIR SIZING GUIDE ON THEIR WEBSITE They are pretty spot on. M, N, W WIDTHS M is for "medium," which means the "regular" width. This is fine. If you have a normal foot it should fit. N is "narrow," which I would only suggest if you have abnormally narrow or very small feet. Birks are meant to spread your toes, which is why they seem wide at first. W will be for "wide," and this is only for extra wide feet (if you need to buy your shoes in wide sizes). BREAKING THEM IN They will NOT be comfortable the first few times. Theyre meant to form to your foot and help regain its natural shape. Stick with it. It is worth it. FOOT BEDS The regular footbed is easier to break in. The soft footbed is really not so different (just more cushion at first), and the foam will probably wear off with use so Id suggest saving your pennies but its just a matter of preference. These shoes are worth every dime--took me just a few days to break in and they are the most comfortable shoes I own. Love them!!

I usually wear an 8-8.5 in shoes so I ordered a 39. I got these in the mail today and they are way too big! When I adjust my toes to fit nicely into the mold, I can fit my entire thumb in the heel! The straps are already as tight as they can be, and I guess I have skinny feet because the straps are also too big. When I walk in them I have to flex my toes up to make sure the shoes dont slide off. Disappointed
