FAQs

Are these sandals true to size?

Yes, they are designed for a regular fit. If you are between sizes, we recommend consulting a size chart as the contoured footbed is quite specific.

Can I get these sandals wet?

It is best to avoid getting them wet. Cork and leather can be damaged by excessive moisture or saltwater.

How long does the break-in period take?

Typically, it takes about one to two weeks of regular wear for the footbed to fully contour to your foot.

Is the leather upper durable?

Yes, the leather is robust and designed for longevity, provided it is kept clean and conditioned when necessary.

What is the primary material in the sole?

The sole is made of EVA, which stands for ethylene-vinyl acetate, known for being lightweight and shock-absorbing.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels stiff when new

This is normal for genuine cork. Wear the sandals for short periods indoors to allow the material to gradually mold to your foot shape.

Leather straps are causing friction

Ensure the buckle is adjusted to the correct tension. If irritation persists, consider wearing the sandals with thin socks for the first few days to protect the skin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent orthopedic arch support for all-day comfort
  • High-quality materials ensure durability and long-term wear
  • Adjustable buckle allows for a secure, personalized fit
  • Stylish embossed animal print elevates the classic silhouette

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for the cork footbed to soften
  • Thong-style design may take time to get used to between the toes
  • Cork footbeds are sensitive to extreme heat and water exposure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you first receive your Gizeh sandals, adjust the strap so it sits snugly against your foot without being too tight. The cork footbed will naturally mold to your feet over the first few days of wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Wipe the leather upper with a soft cloth to maintain the embossed finish.
  • Keep the sandals away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the cork from drying out.
  • Clean the footbed gently with a damp cloth if it becomes soiled, and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
  • If the edges of the cork dry out over time, you can apply a thin layer of cork sealant to maintain its integrity.
