Birkenstock Gizeh Sandals - White - UK 9.5

Birkenstock sizing is based on the length and width of the footbed. Refer to the brand's specific size chart, which usually provides measurements for UK, EU, and US sizes, and often includes a guide to measure your foot accurately.

While the EVA sole offers some water resistance, the cork-latex footbed and suede lining are not designed for prolonged water exposure. They can be worn in damp conditions, but excessive soaking should be avoided to prevent damage to the footbed.

The break-in period can vary for each individual, but it typically takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of intermittent wear for the cork footbed to fully conform to the shape of your foot.

Birko-Flor® is a synthetic material made from acrylic and polyamide felt, and it is considered vegan. However, the suede lining and natural leather insole are not vegan.

Store your sandals in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Avoid leaving them in a car on a hot day, as high temperatures can damage the cork and adhesives.

The Gizeh is a thong sandal characterized by its single strap that goes between the toes, offering a minimalist look. The Arizona is a double-strap sandal with adjustable buckles across the instep, providing a different style and fit.

This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try sprinkling a little talcum powder or cornstarch under the footbed or around the straps. Ensure the sandal is completely dry.

The cork footbed needs a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short durations initially and gradually increase the wear time. The footbed will naturally mold to your foot's contours.

Minor scuffs on the Birko-Flor® can sometimes be buffed out with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scratches, the appearance may be difficult to restore fully due to the nature of the finish.

Utilize the individually adjustable metal pin buckle to tighten or loosen the strap for a custom fit. Ensure the pin is securely fastened in one of the buckle holes.
