Birkenstock Gizeh Toe Thong Footbed Sandals - White - UK 7

For the PVC straps, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the suede footbed, use a suede brush or specialized suede cleaner. Avoid soaking the sandals in water.

No, the Birkenstock Gizeh sandals are not fully waterproof, particularly due to the suede footbed. Avoid prolonged exposure to water to maintain their condition.

They feature an anatomically shaped footbed with normal arch support, designed to contour to the natural shape of your foot and provide balanced support.

A break-in period is common. We recommend wearing them for a few hours at a time initially, gradually increasing wear time until the footbed molds to your feet, usually within a few days to a couple of weeks.

Birkenstock offers repair services for resoling and footbed replacement for many of its models. Check with an authorized Birkenstock repair center for specific options for the Gizeh model.

Birkenstock sizing is generally consistent. We recommend checking the size guide and ensuring your heel sits in the heel cup and your toes are not touching the front rim for the best fit. These are UK 7.

The main materials are Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for the strap, Rubber for the sole, and Suede for the footbed lining.

Adjust the metal buckle to find the optimal fit. The strap should hold your foot securely without digging into your skin.

Birkenstock footbeds are designed to mold to your feet over time. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow for a comfortable break-in period. The toe thong will also soften with use.

For the suede footbed, gently brush with a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner as directed by the product instructions. Do not use water excessively.

Squeaking can sometimes occur if there's moisture trapped between the footbed and your foot, or between the sole and the ground. Ensure your feet are dry, and check the outsole for any debris or wear patterns. A light application of talcum powder to the footbed can sometimes help.
