Product Information

What types of Birkenstock products do you offer?
We specialize in a wide range of authentic Birkenstock footwear including:
  • Adjustable Shoes (our best-sellers!)

How do I know what size to order?
Birkenstocks typically fit true to size. We recommend:
  • Measuring your foot length against our size chart
  • Considering that most styles have adjustable straps for a customized fit
  • Allowing for the famous “break-in” period where the cork footbed molds to your unique foot shape
If you’re between sizes or have specific fit concerns, feel free to contact our comfort specialists at [email protected].
Are your Birkenstocks authentic?
Absolutely! We are committed to offering only 100% authentic Birkenstock footwear. Every pair comes directly from authorized suppliers and is carefully inspected at our Detroit facility before shipping. We never sell counterfeit or “inspired by” products – just the genuine comfort Birkenstock is famous for.
