FAQs
How do I choose the right size?
Birkenstock sandals typically run true to size, but the Gizeh style has a specific fit due to the thong. Consult the brand's sizing chart and consider your foot width. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for sandals.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear aniline leather and cork sandals in heavy rain. Moisture can damage the leather and the cork footbed, affecting their integrity and appearance.
How do I clean the floral embellishments?
The floral appliqués should be cleaned gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the delicate details.
What is the heel height?
The sole height at its highest point is approximately 3.5cm.
Is the footbed made of real cork?
Yes, the anatomically shaped footbed is made from a blend of natural cork and latex, providing cushioning and support.
How do I break in my new Birkenstocks?
Wear them for a few hours at a time indoors. The cork-latex footbed will gradually mold to the unique contours of your feet, making them more comfortable with each wear.
What is the difference between aniline leather and other leather types?
Aniline leather is dyed through using soluble dyes without covering the surface with a layer of pigment or topcoat. This retains the natural characteristics of the leather, giving it a soft feel and a unique look, but also makes it more susceptible to staining and fading.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the metal pin buckle on the thong strap to achieve a secure and comfortable fit.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or balm specifically designed for aniline leather. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Footbed feels stiff initially.
Wear the sandals for short periods indoors to allow the cork-latex footbed to mold to your foot's shape. This process may take a few days.
Water stains on the leather.
Allow the sandals to air dry naturally away from heat. For persistent marks, consult a professional leather care specialist.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new cork or leather. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or gently massaging the footbed.
