Description

The Birkenstock Gizeh black toe-post sandal (code 43691) is the German brand's summer staple: a T-shaped strap between the toes, a side buckle and the famous cork footbed that gradually moulds to your foot as you wear it. Simple, easy and ready for everyday life on the Costa del Sol.

Materials and comfort

The strap is made from Birko-Flor, Birkenstock's synthetic material with a leather-like finish, so it copes with the odd splash and wipes clean with a damp cloth. The footbed is cork and latex with a soft suede lining where your foot rests, and a deep heel cup keeps your foot properly positioned as you walk. Underneath is a light, flexible EVA sole that cushions each step without adding weight. Made in Germany.

Fit

The metal pin buckle lets you adjust the strap across the instep so your foot feels secure rather than sliding about. The footbed feels firm at first; after a few days of wear the cork takes on the shape of your foot and the fit becomes your own. This version comes in the regular width.

How to wear it

Black makes it effortless: pair it with linen shorts or chinos, rolled-up jeans, or swim shorts for a trip down to the beach. It's an ideal holiday sandal, just as handy for getting around town in the August heat as for pottering about the house and garden.

Frequently asked questions

What size should I order in the Birkenstock Gizeh?

We recommend your usual EU size. If you're between sizes, call or email us and we'll advise you. You have 30 days to return it and your first size exchange is free.

What is the strap made of?

The strap is Birko-Flor, Birkenstock's synthetic material with a leather-like look. The footbed is cork and latex lined with suede, and the sole is EVA.

Can I get it wet?

Birko-Flor handles the occasional splash and wipes clean easily, but avoid soaking it, as water can damage the cork and suede footbed. If it does get wet, let it dry naturally in the shade, away from direct heat.

Is it comfortable for walking all day?

Yes, it's designed for everyday wear: the cork footbed moulds to your foot over time and the EVA sole is light and flexible. It may feel a little firm for the first few days while it breaks in.
