With my experience i can say thay they fit true to size, and I'm even a wide footer lol. The rubber ones are more comfy than the classics..

I just ordered a pair in size 36 narrow.  I wear a 6 medium in all my shoes so I'm hoping this will be the correct size for me.

Birkenstocks are very forgiving as well.  Since you can adjust the individual straps, I get a perfect fit!  HSN is a great place to order.

My "size" in Birks sandals and slides is 39.

I wear 9 1/2 W in dress shoes but 40 is sloppy big for my foot.

You MUST be very careful on either QVC or HSN, they are so sly.  Honestly I won't order from either.

Birki regular/open footprint are the wide.  


Birki narrow/closed footprint are the regular.

 

Channels rarely make it clear, so deceptive.

 

I am a 8 1/2 wide and get the regular 39.


QVC does not sell Birkenstock.  HSN does.  Why the need to be careful?  

So according to the info you provided I should go with regular/narrow.  I always wear a med in all shoes.  I don't have a narrrow or wide foot.
 



@rms1954 - if you wear a medium shoe, get a narrow Birkenstock. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Well, my sandals finally arrived today and they fit fine everywhere except for the last two toes on my right foot,  which rub up against the outer ridge. Does this mean I should go to the wider width?

@Texasmouse  I'm surprised it told you to get a 36 if you are a size 6 shoe.    You would be a narrow 37 so you need to size up.  I am an 8M and I am a perfect 39 narrow  in a Birkie.    The sizing is one up from typical European sizing but most places you purchase from will give you the correct sizing.

I ordered a waterproof Birkenstock thong sandal from Nordstrom.  No size was given.  I ordered my usual 39 and they fit.

@rms1954 @I have a wide foot and I get the style with the open foot.  When they are presented on tv I'm always looking at screen trying to figure out which style works for me. I love mine!

The Q used to sell tons of Birkies, great colrs and styles you'd not see elsewhere. Here is where I got hooked  .I don't like any of the styles on hsn, they only have about 3-4.

 

after having many styles, the only one i wear now is a single strap, I still have many and a few still from the Q many eons ago.

 

Typically I'm a true 6.5M USA sizing. In Birkies sizes this should be a 37. I do have a couple of 37 but I really go for 36.  I've no idea if any are more narrow, they all fit perfectly for me in 36EU.


HSN does sell the single strap style, it's called the "Madrid".
