Product Information
Full details
The BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh Flower Embellishment sandal is designed for adult women seeking a stylish and versatile casual shoe. Its key benefit lies in the anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed offering superior comfort and support, combined with a minimalist design elevated by delicate floral appliqués. A potential consideration is that the aniline leather upper, while high-quality, may require specific care to maintain its finish.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Gizeh sandal features an adjustable buckle which allows for some customization of fit. However, the overall width is standard. If you have very wide feet, they might feel snug.
How do I break in my new Birkenstock Gizeh sandals?
It's recommended to wear your new sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration each day. The anatomically shaped footbed will contour to your foot with wear.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
While the EVA sole offers some water resistance, the aniline leather upper and suede lining are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
How do I clean the floral embellishments?
Gently wipe the floral appliqués with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this could damage the delicate details or the surrounding leather.
What is the heel height of these sandals?
These are flat sandals. The sole height at the highest point is approximately 3.5cm.
Is the white color prone to staining?
White aniline leather can be susceptible to staining. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and prompt attention to spills will help maintain their appearance. Consider using a leather protector spray for added defense.
Are these sandals made in Germany?
Yes, these BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh sandals are made in Germany, ensuring high manufacturing standards.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from the footbed.
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the footbed liner or ensure the footbed is completely dry.
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for aniline leather. Use sparingly and buff gently. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or sun.
Buckle is difficult to adjust.
Ensure the pin is properly aligned with the buckle holes. If stiff, try gently wiggling the pin while adjusting. Avoid forcing the buckle.
Footbed feels too stiff initially.
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot shape over time with regular wear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration.

Care Instructions:
- Upper (Aniline Leather): Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Condition periodically with a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying.
- Footbed (Cork-Latex & Suede): The cork should be protected from excessive moisture. The suede lining can be gently brushed with a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. For stains, a suede eraser may be helpful. Avoid soaking.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Use a shoe bag if possible.
