Product Information
Full details
The BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh sandals are designed for women seeking a blend of classic style and anatomical support for everyday wear. Their key benefit is the anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed that contours to your foot, providing excellent comfort and arch support. A potential consideration is the toe-post design, which may require an adjustment period for some users.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Gizeh features a regular fit. The adjustable buckle allows for some customization, but individuals with very wide feet may find them snug. It's recommended to consult Birkenstock's sizing guide for specific width information.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
It is not recommended to submerge the sandals in water, especially the cork footbed, as prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the material and affect its shape. They are suitable for dry or mildly damp conditions.
How do I break in my new Gizeh sandals?
Wear them for short periods initially (e.g., 1-2 hours a day) and gradually increase the duration. The cork footbed will soften and conform to the unique contours of your feet with wear.
What is Birko-Flor material?
Birko-Flor is a branded material by Birkenstock, made from a blend of acrylic and polyamide felt. It's known for being durable, skin-friendly, and easy to care for, offering a leather-like appearance.
How high is the sole?
The sole height is approximately 3 CM.
How do I clean the metallic glitter effect?
Clean the upper gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could remove the glitter finish.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the metal pin buckle on the bridge to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to sizing guides if needed.
Discomfort from the toe post
This is common for new users. Wear the sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time to allow your feet to adapt. Ensure the toe post is positioned correctly.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the footbed or around the straps where they meet the sole.
Footbed feels stiff
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the sandals regularly for short durations to accelerate this natural shaping process.
