Shoes in Germany?

Question

My sister will be in Heidelberg, Rothenburg, and Blackforest. She wants to buy Birkenstocks while she is in Germany and wants to know where she might be able to find them there.

Answer 1

In nearly every shoe store ;)

Answer 2

well...dont know where she can get them there but ebay offers them too

Answer 3

In almost every good shoe store. But she should be aware of the measurents; it's in centimeters, not inch. So she might have a size "38" or "39". It's not a big problem, as she will try them on anyway.

I'm a male with a "44" size, so, rather big feet. Male and female shoe sizes are the same, although shoes are cut a little bit different: Rather slim toe line for females, and rather broad shoes for the males.

Answer 4

Considering the fact that the Euro is so strong towards the US Dollar, your sister should really think about buying Birkenstocks through the internet. I am from Germany and Birkenstock are cheaper to buy here in the USA than in Germany itself.

Answer 5

in Karstadt

Answer 6

Heidelberg will be the best place; almost every shoe-shop sells them; US-Size 12 will be a 43 in Germany.

Answer 7

Heidelberg is definitely the right city for that. Practically half of the stores in the city centre are shoe stores.

The main shopping street ("Hauptstrasse") starts at "Bismarckplatz" and runs up towards the Heiliggeist church. The shoe shops can't be missed - the only one a bit hidden is a large one inside the "Darmstädter Hof Centrum" near Bismarckplatz.

She can also try the two "Kaufhof" department stores.

Answer 8

Your sister can find them in any good shoe shop...but if she wants to get them really cheap she should visit 'Wertheim Village':

my friend from America was there and bought about 15(!) pairs Birkenstocks there, because they are so cheap in this outlet shopping center.
