39 vs. 40 size check

The tan tobacco is a size 39 that I’ve worn for the past 4 years. The heel wore away on the outside corner, so I went to get another pair and they recommended a 40. They feel quite a bit bigger and have a lot more space in the back. Thoughts?

Tobacco size 39 vs Stone size 40. Which pair are a better fit?

I’ve worn the size 39 for 4 yrs. Went to get another pair and the clerk recommended a 40. Comfortable, but worried the gap behind my heel is too big and they may feel loose after wearing for a while. Thoughts?

Birkenstock fit check

I’ve worn my tan/tobacco Birkenstocks for the last 4 years. They’re a size 39. The outside heel has worn down, so I went to get a new pair. The sales clerk recommended a size 40, so I brought a pair home to try. They’re very comfortable, but I’m unsure of the gap in the back behind my heel. My concern is that as I wear them they’ll stretch out and feel too big. Any thoughts?
