You may know by now that Linzi is our in-house comfort shoe expert. She’s tried more pairs of shoes than most of us can count, and when it comes to Birkenstocks…she’s gone deep. We’re talking fifty pairs deep. Yes, really. She even has the full rundown (the ultimate guide, if you will) on allll the Birkenstocks for proof, that essentially tells you everything you need to know.

If I’m being totally transparent, I don’t think I even realized there were that many to try, but leave it to Linzi to uncover every possible version — from cult classics to the more obscure styles that don’t always get the spotlight. Naturally, with that level of commitment, Linzi’s gotten her fair share of questions over the years. From how to figure out sizing (hello, confusing), to whether one buckle can really hold it down (looking at you, Madrid), she’s got the answers.

Before You Buy Birkenstocks, Here’s What You Need To Know

In case you want to get straight to the good stuff, Linzi decided to round up the five Birkenstock questions she gets asked the most, and answer them all in one video. I think before you go to hit purchase, the video’s worth a peek.

If you just want to know her top three Birkenstocks (the ones she actually wears on repeat), or the three that didn’t quite work out, you’ll get that answered, too. Or, how to break them in? Yep, she’s got an answer.

Psst — curious about the Birkenstocks Linzi talks about? You can find this latest video here on our YouTube channel. Just click “More” in the description, and you’ll find alllll of those handy shopping links.
