FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?

Birkenstock sizing can differ from other shoe brands. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to Birkenstock's size chart. The Gizeh should feel snug but not tight, with a small space between your toes and the front of the sandal.

Can the floral pattern wear off?

The floral details are appliquéd onto the high-quality aniline leather. With proper care and avoiding abrasive cleaning methods, the design should remain intact for a long time.

Are these suitable for walking long distances?

Yes, the anatomically shaped cork and latex footbed provides excellent support and comfort, making them suitable for moderate distances. However, they are primarily casual sandals and may not offer the same cushioning as specialized walking shoes for very long treks.

How do I clean the cork footbed?

Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the surface of the cork footbed. Allow it to air dry naturally away from heat. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the footbed.

What is the difference between this Gizeh model and others?

The Gizeh Flower model specifically features delicate appliquéd flowers on the aniline leather upper, offering a more feminine aesthetic compared to the standard Gizeh sandal.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

It is not recommended to wear these sandals in wet conditions. The leather and cork materials can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. They are best suited for dry weather.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), which is known for its lightweight, flexible, and shock-absorbing properties.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness or discomfort in the leather strap

Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Avoid wearing them for long durations until they feel comfortable.

Footbed feels hard or less cushioned over time

The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot. If it feels too hard, ensure you are not exposing the sandals to excessive heat or moisture, which can degrade the cork. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth can help refresh the surface.

Sandal feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the metal buckle on the thong strap to achieve a more secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is snug but not constricting.

Water exposure damage to cork or leather

If exposed to water, allow the sandals to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Avoid submerging them. For significant water damage to the cork, professional repair might be needed.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather Upper: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the leather.
  • Cork Footbed: Gently wipe the footbed with a damp cloth. To maintain its shape and absorption, allow it to dry naturally if it gets wet and avoid direct sunlight or heat.
  • Sole: Clean the EVA sole with mild soap and water.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the cork from drying out or the leather from fading.
  • Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the upper supple.
