La Sportiva to Birkenstock shoe size
The short answer
La Sportiva 36.5 is Birkenstock 36 or 37 by the two brands' own charts. 12 of 15 La Sportiva sizes land on a different label at Birkenstock.
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.
