Be on trend by getting lovely large sizes direct from Birkenstock (narrow to wide widths). Not just open sandals - closed mules & sneakers too. Max size depends on the style & some sell out fast, but you can sign up for re-stocks. They ain't cheap but they last. I've my house shoes 15 years! They've a good size calculator online. I'd go down a Euro/UK size, or buy your US size. I'm usually 42.5-43 but only 42 in Birks & could even wear 41 (I was 11 the last time any other 41 fit!).
