FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the leather and cork construction is not designed to be submerged in water. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the footbed.
How do I clean the suede footbed?
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, specialized suede cleaners are recommended, used sparingly.
Will the braided leather stretch over time?
Leather is a natural material and will soften and slightly conform to your foot, but it should not stretch out of shape if properly fitted.
Where are these sandals made?
All Birkenstock Gizeh models mentioned are manufactured in Germany.
Can I replace the sole if it wears down?
Yes, authorized shoe repair shops can often replace the EVA outsole once it wears down through extensive use.
Troubleshooting
The footbed feels too stiff initially.
This is normal for new cork footbeds. Wear them for short 1-2 hour intervals at home to let your feet warm up the material and customize the shape.
Toe post irritation.
Adjust the buckle to ensure the sandal is sitting correctly on your foot. If the friction persists, try wearing them with thin socks during the break-in process to reduce skin contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last, avoid exposing the cork footbed to direct high heat, such as leaving them in a hot car, as it can cause the material to dry out or crack. The leather straps can be kept clean by wiping them with a soft, dry cloth. If the leather needs conditioning, use a neutral leather lotion. Because of the suede lining, keep them as dry as possible; if they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or radiators. Regularly check the metal buckle for any buildup of debris to ensure smooth operation.
