FAQs

What is the 'Soft Footbed' feature?

The Soft Footbed includes an integrated layer of foam within the classic anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed, providing extra cushioning and comfort for all-day wear.

How do I clean the nubuck leather upper?

Use a suede brush or a specialized nubuck cleaner to remove dirt and marks. Avoid using water directly on nubuck leather. For protection, consider using a suede protector spray.

Is the Gizeh sandal suitable for wide feet?

The adjustable metal pin buckle allows for some customization of the fit across the instep. However, the thong design itself is standard. It is recommended to try them on if possible for best fit.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

The break-in period varies per individual. Many users find comfort after a few days of intermittent wear, while others may need a week or two for the footbed to fully conform to their foot shape.

Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?

While the EVA sole offers some water resistance, the nubuck leather upper and suede lining are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments.

What is the difference between the regular and soft footbed?

The Soft Footbed adds an extra layer of cushioning foam for enhanced comfort, whereas the regular footbed relies solely on the cork-latex structure for support and comfort.

Are these sandals suitable for arch support?

Yes, the Gizeh features Birkenstock's iconic anatomically shaped footbed, which is designed to provide excellent arch support and promote proper foot alignment.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the metal pin buckle on the thong strap to achieve a personalized fit. Ensure the buckle is secured properly.

Footbed feels stiff initially

The cork footbed requires a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they mold to your foot.

Discoloration or marks on nubuck leather

Use a specialized nubuck cleaner and brush to gently remove marks. For protection, consider applying a suitable suede protector spray, especially if anticipating exposure to moisture.

Squeaking sound from the footbed

This can sometimes occur due to moisture. Ensure feet and footbed are dry. A small amount of talcum powder can sometimes help absorb excess moisture and reduce noise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

Suitable for adult women. The Gizeh thong design is compatible with most casual wardrobes. They are designed for everyday wear and light activities.

Care:

  • Upper (Nubuck Leather): Nubuck leather is sensitive to moisture and dirt. Clean with a suede brush or nubuck cleaner. Avoid using water directly, and protect with a suitable spray if exposed to wet conditions.
  • Footbed Lining (Suede): Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Sole (EVA): Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
