Thong sandals also have a long tradition. They were worn in antiquity. The roots of this type of footwear date back to Egypt in the year 1400 BC. Its form has proven itself for thousands of years. That's why the thong sandal is the archetype of the modern shoe. Its functional design still wows today. The thong keeps the toes in their natural position and ensures a stable fit. The anatomically shaped cork and latex footbed is held in place by a strap that can be adjusted using a buckle. In an era when it had nearly been forgotten in Europe, BIRKENSTOCK rediscovered and reinterpreted the thong sandal.
The Gizeh is a classic women's style. But it's also popular with some men. The thong sandal is available in sizes 35-46. Children's models are available in sizes 30 and up. As with all BIRKENSTOCK sandals, the Gizeh is available in two widths (normal and narrow) to ensure a good fit.
