Birkenstock to Cole Haan shoe size

The short answer

Birkenstock 39 is Cole Haan 8 or 8.5 by the two brands' own charts.

At least one of the two brands publishes no foot length, so the rows line up the US size both charts print. Treat it as the label conversion, not a fit.

Every Birkenstock size read across to Cole Haan. EU sizes on the left, US women's on the right.

Neither chart publishes the body each size is built for, so the rows line up the labels. Tinted rows change label or sit between two sizes. 2 sizes have no counterpart on the Cole Haan chart. Read from the two charts only; no formula and no averaging.
