FAQs
What material is the footbed made of?
The footbed is made from a natural cork-latex blend, designed to provide excellent support and comfort by molding to the shape of your foot.
How do I clean the blue Birko-Flor upper?
The Birko-Flor upper can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Gizeh model has a regular width. While the strap is adjustable, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I wear these for long walks?
Yes, the anatomically shaped footbed provides good support for extended periods. However, they are casual footwear and may not offer the same level of cushioning or stability as specialized walking shoes for very long or strenuous treks.
What is the 'Made in Europe' label referring to?
This indicates that the manufacturing process, including the assembly of the flip flops, took place in one of Birkenstock's European production facilities.
How should I care for the suede insole?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to maintain its texture. If it gets damp, allow it to air dry completely. For stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for suede.
Does the blue color fade easily?
Birkenstock uses durable dyes. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Storing them away from direct sun can help preserve the color.
Troubleshooting
Flip flops feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common as the synthetic upper and cork footbed break in. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Walking indoors on soft surfaces can help speed up the molding process.
Suede insole appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For more persistent stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
Strap feels too loose or too tight.
The square buckle strap is adjustable. Try moving the strap to a different notch on the buckle to achieve a more secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the buckle is properly fastened.
The flip flops feel slippery on wet surfaces.
While the EVA sole offers some traction, it can become slippery on extremely wet or smooth surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris.
