FAQs
Are these suitable for wide feet?
These Gizeh Braided flip flops have a regular fit, which is standard width. They may not be ideal for individuals with very wide feet. Consider trying them on or consulting a sizing guide.
How do I clean the oiled leather?
Wipe the oiled leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for oiled leather. Allow to air dry.
Will the cork footbed get damaged if wet?
The cork footbed should not be soaked. Clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry. Excessive moisture can damage the cork.
How long does it take for the footbed to mold to my foot?
The molding process typically takes a few days to a week of consistent wear, depending on how often you wear them.
Can I wear these for long walks?
While the contoured footbed offers good support, these are best suited for moderate walking distances. For very long treks, shoes with more robust cushioning and support might be preferable.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is approximately 3.5 CM.
Are these flip flops considered vegan?
No, these flip flops are made from leather and cork, which are animal byproducts.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm initially
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in gradually.
Leather uppers feel stiff
This is normal for new leather. Consistent wear will soften the leather. You can also use a leather conditioner suitable for oiled leather if needed.
Sizing seems off
Refer to the Birkenstock sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure your heel is within the heel cup and your toes are not hanging over the edge.
Slight squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur between the footbed and sole. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the footbed or on the sole to reduce friction.
