While there's no shortage of different patterns and styles of Birkenstocks to choose from, it's important to figure out your perfect size first so that you can get the optimal comfort out of your shoes. Birkenstock is actually one of few brands that offer two varying fits for their sandals: narrow and regular. This will allow you to truly find your goldilocks of shoes.

According to the Birkenstock website, the narrow width is "designed to accommodate an A-B width for women," allowing for a more snug feel if you have slimmer feet, whereas the regular width is more commonly opted for by men or people with wider feet. So how do you figure out the right one for you? Well, the best way would be to get fitted at a Birkenstock store. If you don't have one near you, then Fashion & Mash has figured out a hack. Simply unfasten all of the straps on a Birkenstock sandal and step into it to see how your foot rests in the footbed. 

Just like that, you're ready to delve into the ever-growing trendy world of Birkenstocks. All you have to do now is narrow down your preferred style, with tons to choose from including the latest drop, as of publication, reimagining fan favorites (via Hypebeast).
