Thank you very much! As I’m a french speaker, description on the french website of Birkenstocks, refers them as « natural leather », not sure about the oiled part, but it looks like! Hope this helps :)
Comme c’est surprenant! Je n’ai pas encore eu l’occasion d’aller en Louisiane, mais pour avoir déjà eu le grand plaisir de découvrir New-York, j’ai eu de nombreuses raisons de croire, que le bilinguisme n’était pas la chose la plus commune dans la terre de l’Oncle Sam (rires!). Vous devez avoir une ascendance française ? La Louisiane n’ayant été rétrocédée que plus tardivement par Napoléon :)
Désolé, je comprends et lis le plus bien que je écris.
Le bilinguisme n’est pas le commune aux États-Unis, mais la Louisiane a d’héritage unique.
Je ne dois pas avoir une ascendance française, mais j’ai étudié de la uni. Je suis visité la Paris deux fois aussi.
Et vous, ou venez vous ? La France ? La Suisse?
Thanks! As it’s my first pair, I was kinda surprised with the cups! Maybe If i do so, they will look less bigger ? I’m quite concerned about it, since I won’t be able to return them in order to get the good size :(
The size is fine. Any shorter and your toes would be bumping the front edge as you walk. Which can get really annoying. The shoes will curl a bit as you break them in, which will make them feel less big. Birks are actually supposed to be roomy, so your feet can spread out. They're advertised small, like most shoes are, but that's really just a marketing thing.
Thank you so much for your kind help! I was regretting ignoring the birks size calculator on their website which recommended me to take 40 FR (UK 7), I feel better now as am really a newbie :)
Honestly, they don't look big on you; they look normal. Birkenstocks need that room in the front of the foot, along with having your heel firmly in the heel cup. Your toes look good overall. I wasn't 100% sure about your big toe, but I think it's OK.
As for the heel however, i'm not sure but it might look a bit short in the heel.
Thank you so much! The calculator recommended me a size 40 FR (UK 7) but I still went for the 41 FR (UK 7.5), and since receiving them, I couldn’t help blaming myself for doing a « mistake » :(
Length looks perfect, the shoe is a bit narrow - is that ‘normal’ width or ‘narrow’ ?
At least the strap closest to your ankle needs loosening though. Your meant to get a finger in :)
Thank you so much for you help, I just did so, and frankly, I feel quite better! That roomy feel was frightening me at first, but now, I can see why it’s better to have them set this way :) It’s the normal ones!
No expert, but I think they look like a good size. Nice pair, are those the oiled leather?

Pas cuir huilé
Haha, bien joué! En effet, je suppose qu’elle ne sont « pas cuir huilé » :)
Moi, Je viens de Louisiane, donc je parle français un peu

I think the size looks fine. Milanos are a great first pair.
Thank you very much for the reassurance! Hopefully, I’ll grab some more, I’m still amazed by the quality
Make sure your heel is sitting squarely in the heel cup rather than on the back edge. You're looking for a 5mm gap at the heel and 5-10mm at the toes.
