Introduction
Birkenstock sandals are some of the best selling shoes worldwide due to their amazing quality and comfort. From the factory, they offer each shoe in a wide or narrow option. In either case, your foot may be too wide or narrow for the shoe out of the box. Also, many of their styles are sold with ultra-comfortable leather or suede straps and uppers, which are known to stretch over time. In either case, the holes that come on the adjustable straps on the shoes may not be enough, and new holes will be necessary in order to adjust the straps to achieve the best possible fit.
This guide will show the simple steps necessary in order to poke new holes in your Birkenstocks’ straps with a few basic household tools.
