Featuring oiled leather, its unique characteristics of the leather are highlighted by a rich oil treatment, which develops natural patina over time. The Gizeh Leather Black is the perfect meld of comfort & casual style. Features & Fit Oiled leather upper - Designed to scuff and mark for a distressed look Contoured cork footbed Orthotic support EVA shock-absorbing sole Adjustable strap Care Instructions; Prolong the life of your Birkenstocks by following our care instructions: Follow the Birkenstock Size Guide (above) to ensure you’re wearing the correct size. Allow your feet to adjust to your new shoes by limiting wear to just a few hours the first five to six times. Airing the footbeds prevents the build-up of odours caused by excess moisture. Do not immerse in water. Water can damage cork-based sandals/shoes and dissolve the glue/sealant. Heat exposure can damage Birkenstocks. Avoid leaving them in the car or direct sunlight, and keep away from radiators and fireplaces. Over time, Birkenstock footwear may require repair due to general wear.
