Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Gizeh sandals last for seasons to come, proper care is essential. When you first receive them, adjust the strap so it sits comfortably against your foot without being too tight; this allows the shoe to move with your foot. Avoid exposing the cork footbed to excessive moisture or direct heat, such as leaving them inside a hot car, as this can cause the cork to dry out or the glue to loosen. If the footbed becomes dusty, wipe it gently with a soft, dry brush. Keep the leather upper clean by using a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner if necessary. Ensure the sandals are completely dry after wear before storing them in a cool, ventilated area.
