Birkenstock Gizeh Sandals - Floral - Pink - Gold - UK 3.5

The break-in period can vary from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on frequency of wear and individual foot shape. Wearing them for short durations initially and gradually increasing wear time is recommended.

The Gizeh sandal features a T-bar strap with an adjustable metal buckle, which allows for some customization to fit different foot widths. However, the overall fit is based on Birkenstock's standard width, which is typically medium to wide.

It is not recommended to wear these leather sandals in heavy rain. Excessive moisture can damage the leather upper and the cork footbed. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry thoroughly.

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

Gently wipe the appliqués with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or chemicals, as this could damage the delicate embellishments.

The buckle is typically made of metal with a gold-tone finish, designed for durability and aesthetic appeal. It is not solid gold.

No, these sandals are not vegan as the upper is made from genuine leather and the insole lining is suede.

This is normal due to the break-in period for the cork footbed. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Walking on different surfaces can help break them in faster.

Apply a small amount of specialized aniline leather conditioner or polish with a soft cloth. Ensure the product is suitable for aniline leather and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Allow the sandals to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight. You can sprinkle baking soda inside the footbed overnight to absorb odors, then brush it out.

Ensure the strap is not overly tight or bunched. Gently pull the strap while adjusting the buckle. If resistance persists, check for any debris obstructing the buckle mechanism.
