FAQs
What material is the Birkenstock Gizeh made of?
The upper is made of Birko-Flor, the insole is suede, the footbed is cork-latex, and the sole is EVA.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your heel should sit comfortably within the heel cup, and your toes should not hang over the edge. There should be a small space between your toes and the edge of the footbed. Refer to the Birkenstock sizing chart for specific measurements.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
While the EVA sole is water-resistant, the cork footbed and suede insole are not designed for prolonged water exposure and can be damaged. It is best to avoid wearing them in water or wet conditions.
How long does the cork footbed typically last?
With proper care, the cork footbed can last for several years. Regular cleaning and occasional sealing can help maintain its integrity and support.
Are these sandals suitable for people with wide feet?
The Gizeh style generally offers a medium width. While the buckle allows for some adjustment, individuals with very wide feet might find other Birkenstock models with adjustable straps more accommodating.
What is the difference between Gizeh and other Birkenstock models like Arizona?
The Gizeh is a toe-post sandal, while the Arizona is a two-strap sandal. Both feature the signature cork footbed, but the Gizeh offers a more minimalist, thong-style design.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
No, the Birkenstock Gizeh sandals should never be put in a washing machine or a clothes dryer, as this can severely damage the cork and other materials.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or around the toe post area. Ensure the footbed is completely dry.
Sandals feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially
The cork footbed may require a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Bending the sole gently can also help soften the cork.
Discoloration or damage to the cork
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat. If the cork appears dry, consider using a cork sealant product specifically designed for footwear. Clean any marks with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Toe post irritation
Ensure you have the correct size. If irritation persists, consider wearing the sandals for shorter durations to allow your feet to adapt. Some users find a thin layer of moleskin applied to the toe post can help.
