Birkenstocks seem wide so I'm wondering if they run large or true to size.
Thanks!

I think so. I wear a 6 and my Gizehs are size 37.

They have a narrow option. I have Gizehs and they are true to size for me, but I also have wide feet. I actually sized down at first and had to return them!
I love my Gizeh's.

@autumnlove: I wear 7, and mine are 36
I think it's mostly determined by your foot shape.

Thanks!! I have a petite foot (size 5) and don't typically wear narrow but perhaps should try it.

@autumnlove: there's a navy ish blue that I think I'm going to get! I am drawn towards magenta but they go with less

@winniebee: Are you a true size 5? I am in between 5.5 and 6 and was planning on ordering these in a size 36. Not sure now though.

Oo, maybe I should get a pair! My mom's been nagging me about not wearing flat/non-supportive flip flop sandals during summer while pregnant!

@winniebee: I am a 5.5 in most shoes and I wear a 35. Sorry I didn't see this sooner!

@catlady: I'm a true size 5 for sure. These were like 1.5 inches too long!

@winniebee: @catlady: I do think they run a bit large. I wear a 6.5 normally and I've had two pairs of Gizehs, both in a 36. They would definitely be too big for someone who wears a 5 or 5.5!

I was just looking at these today! I guess I should find some in store to try on instead of buying online.

@winniebee: Thanks for posting this. I haven't had a pair of Birkenstocks since JrHS. They were a dream to walk in and I don't know why I haven't thought about getting a pair.

I wear a 6.5 or 7 normally, and the 36 fits perfectly. I don't have Gizehs (I have Yaras), but I think the footbeds are all the same? Birkenstocks definitely run big, from my experience!
Do they have kids sizes that you like? Do they even make kids shoes? I've never checked. But I would think, as a 5, that would be your only option. Sorry!

@allison: im thinking since I'm a 5 the 35 may even be too big! But I will try them courtesy of zappos.

@winniebee: Did you order the narrow? I found that my narrow Gizehs fit way better/more true to size than my regular Mayaris.
