Birkenstock to La Sportiva shoe size
The short answer
Birkenstock 39 is La Sportiva 39.5 or 40 by the two brands' own charts. 4 of 6 Birkenstock sizes land on a different label at La Sportiva.
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.
