FAQs
Are these sandals made of genuine leather?
No, the upper of the Birkenstock Stone Gizeh is made from Birko-Flor, a synthetic nubuck-effect material. The overall composition includes Polyvinyl chloride, Rubber, and Suede for various parts.
How do I clean the footbed?
Gently wipe the cork-latex footbed with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the sandals in water. If the footbed gets wet, allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Can I wear these in water?
It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to water, especially for the cork-latex footbed, as excessive moisture can compromise its integrity and durability.
How should I size these sandals?
Birkenstocks generally offer a comfortable fit. When trying them on, ensure your heel sits snugly in the heel cup and your toes do not touch the front edge of the sandal.
What is Birko-Flor?
Birko-Flor is a high-quality synthetic material developed by Birkenstock. It is skin-friendly, tear-resistant, and easy to care for, providing a nubuck-like texture and appearance.
Do these sandals require a break-in period?
Yes, like most Birkenstock footbeds, these sandals may feel firm initially. It's normal for the cork-latex footbed to take some time to mold to your unique foot shape for optimal comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Allow a break-in period. The anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed needs time to mold to the unique contours of your feet. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.
The strap feels too tight or too loose.
Utilize the adjustable buckle closure. Loosen or tighten the strap until you achieve a secure yet comfortable fit that keeps your foot properly aligned within the footbed.
Footbed is getting dirty or discolored.
Gently wipe the footbed with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, a small amount of mild soap can be used. Ensure the footbed is thoroughly air-dried afterward, avoiding direct heat.
Sandal slips on foot while walking.
Ensure the adjustable strap is fastened securely, providing a snug fit without discomfort. If your feet tend to sweat, consider using a footbed liner or foot powder to reduce friction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional all-day comfort and support from the anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed.
- Adjustable strap and buckle closure ensure a customized, secure fit.
- Birko-Flor Nubuck-effect material is durable, skin-friendly, and easy to maintain.
- Versatile grey color complements a wide range of styles and occasions.
- Designed for a comfortable fit that adapts to your foot contours over time.
Cons
- Birko-Flor is a synthetic material, not genuine leather, which some users might prefer.
- The cork-latex footbed, while supportive, may require a short break-in period to fully adapt to your foot's unique shape.
- As an open-toe sandal, it offers less protection in varied weather conditions or environments.
- Specific material composition (70% Polyvinyl chloride, 20% Rubber, 10% Suede) may not align with all user preferences.
Setup:
- Adjusting the Strap: Before wearing, loosen the adjustable strap.
- Slide Foot In: Position your foot so that your heel sits snugly in the heel cup and your toes rest comfortably, without touching the front rim.
- Tighten Strap: Fasten the buckle, ensuring the strap is firm enough to hold the sandal securely but not so tight as to pinch or restrict circulation. A comfortable fit allows a small amount of space.
Compatibility:
These sandals are ideal for casual wear, walking, and everyday activities in warm and dry conditions. Their comfortable fit makes them suitable for extended wear.
Care:
- Cleaning the Birko-Flor Upper: Wipe the Birko-Flor Nubuck-effect material with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry away from direct heat.
- Footbed Care: The cork-latex footbed should be kept dry. Avoid submerging the sandals in water. If the footbed gets wet, allow it to air dry slowly, away from direct heat.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth as needed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
