Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Gizeh is an iconic thong-style sandal designed for adults who prioritize long-term foot health and ergonomic support without sacrificing style. Featuring the signature anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed, it offers exceptional arch support and weight distribution for all-day wear. While it provides industry-leading comfort, new users should be aware that the cork-latex material requires a brief "break-in" period to mold perfectly to the unique contours of the feet.

FAQs
Are Birkenstock Gizeh sandals waterproof?
While they feature a durable EVA sole, the standard cork-latex footbed is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep water.
How should the sandal fit?
Your toes should not touch the front rim when standing, and your heel should sit comfortably within the heel cup.
Where are these sandals manufactured?
All authentic Birkenstock sandals are made in Germany.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is permanently integrated into the construction of the sandal and is not designed to be removed or replaced.
Is the leather upper durable?
Yes, the materials used are high-quality and selected for durability, provided they are kept clean and away from excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel stiff upon first wear.
This is normal. Wear the sandals for 1-2 hours at a time during the first week to allow the cork and upper material to soften and mold to your feet.
The strap causes friction between the toes.
Ensure the buckle is adjusted to the correct tension. If irritation persists, check that the foot is positioned correctly in the heel cup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Gizeh sandals remain in prime condition, follow these care steps:
- Initial Fitting: Use the adjustable metal pin buckle to ensure the strap is snug but not constricting. You should be able to slide a finger between your foot and the strap.
- Avoid Extreme Heat: Do not leave your sandals in direct sunlight or in a hot car for extended periods, as this can damage the cork-latex material.
- Cleaning the Footbed: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the footbed. If needed, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used to clean the surface; however, avoid soaking the cork.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and materials.
