Finding Your Size
The ANATOMICORE footbeds are based on EUROPEAN sizing
If you already know your European sandal size — from any supportive sandal or orthotic footwear brand — that’s your ANATOMICA size. You’re done.
If you know your shoe size in runners, read this first.
Shoes like runners are sized differently to sandals. Most people find their shoe size runs 1–2 European sizes larger than their sandal size. For example, someone who wears a size 37 in sandals will often wear a 38.5 or 39 in running shoes.
The most reliable way: measure your foot
Takes 2 minutes and removes the guesswork.
1. Stand up - you're feet lengthen when you're weight bearing.
2. Trace both feet on a piece of paper. Have someone help if you can. We all have one foot that’s a little longer or wider, so measure both and fit to the larger one.
3. Measure the length from the very back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe — which may not be your big toe.
4. Match that measurement to the chart beside to find your size.
FOOT SHAPES
WIDE FEET?
If you have a wide foot, you may need to size up if your foot is more than 5mm wider than the footbed.
NARROW FEET?
No problem. Our footbed generally curves well around narrow feet & the 3 adjustable straps usually allow a secure fit.
BUNIONS?
If you have large (score 3) bunions (see our bunion - technically called Hallux Valgus - self scoring chart below), then shape of the toe area on the Anatomicore footbed may not suit you. However, if you can wear Birkenstocks then you may still be able to wear the Anatomica Sandals.
The main issue? The gap in the footbed where the big toe would normally sit can, in some people, be a trip hazard.

NOT SURE ABOUT SIZE & FIT?
Contact our friendly customer support team.
For help with ordering, send us a photo of your feet with your foot measurements (length & width).
OR
To check the size and fit of your Anatomica sandals once they are received. Send a photo of the top view and side view in your sandals- make sure your heel is right at the back before tightening the straps.
One important note on fit:
The footbed is designed to hold you snugly at the heel and toe - that’s how it works.
