The Birkenstock Gizeh Silver sandals are engineered for daily casual wear, offering a blend of ergonomic support and modern style. The core of their performance lies in the contoured cork footbed, which actively supports the natural shape of your foot, distributing weight evenly and reducing pressure points. This makes them ideal for extended walks, running errands, or simply enjoying a relaxed day out. The Birko-Flor upper, with its sparkly silver finish, is not only visually appealing but also durable and easy to maintain, standing up to everyday wear. The adjustable buckle allows you to fine-tune the fit, preventing slippage and enhancing stability. For example, wearing them to a summer market or a casual outdoor gathering, you'll experience consistent comfort due to the arch support and extra cushioning, which effectively absorb impact. The 3 CM sole height provides a subtle lift while maintaining a grounded feel. Remember that initial wear may feel firm; this is part of the break-in process where the footbed customizes to your unique foot shape for optimal long-term comfort.
Before your first wear, unbuckle the strap, slide your foot into the sandal ensuring your heel sits securely in the heel cup, and then adjust the buckle for a snug, comfortable fit. There should be a small gap between your toes and the front edge, and your heel and the back edge. Ensure the toe post is comfortable between your toes. The footbed will mold to your foot over time.
These sandals are designed for adults. They are available in various UK sizes and come in two distinct fits: Regular Fit (a wider option) and Narrow Fit (the standard option). It's crucial to select the correct size and width for optimal comfort and support. The Birko-Flor upper is a high-quality man-made material. While the mid-sole is molded leather, the main upper material is synthetic, making it suitable for those who prefer non-leather uppers for the strap, but the footbed contains natural cork.
Birko-Flor Upper: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Cork Footbed: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can dry out and crack the cork. Use a specialized cork sealer periodically to protect the footbed. For cleaning, gently wipe with a damp cloth; do not submerge in water.
General: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Allow sandals to air dry completely if they get wet before storing.
