BIRKENSTOCK GIZEH: A TIMELESS FASHION STATEMENT

Introducing the BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh: a modern thong sandal that effortlessly merges style and function. Created in 1983, the BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh sandals are now officially an icon, and one of the most popular and celebrated BIRKENSTOCK models. Thanks to its minimalist style and no-frills appearance, the Gizeh is not only a wardrobe staple for many women – it has also been embraced by countless fashion-conscious men who want to add a touch of casual sophistication to their summer attire.

AN EGYPTIAN CLASSIC

There’s a reason the Gizeh was named after an Egyptian city. The name pays homage to the origin of the thong sandal: Ancient Egypt circa 1400 BC. Thanks to its style and simplicity, its form has stood the test of time, remaining popular for thousands of years. In the early 1980s, BIRKENSTOCK masterfully revived and reinterpreted this timeless design, infusing it with unparalleled comfort and functionality. Since its introduction, the Gizeh has secured its place as a staple in footwear collections worldwide, merging the wisdom of ancient tradition with the ease of modern comfort.

GIZEH AND THE MAGICAL FOOTBED

At the heart of all BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh models is our anatomically shaped footbed, crafted to support every curve and contour of the foot. A deep heel cup cradles your heel and keeps its natural cushioning right under the heel bone where it can offer you the best support, while the spacious toe box and a raised toe bar make sure that your toes can spread out naturally while encouraging the natural rolling motion of your foot.

This expert design and construction combines the best of nature and innovation, using high-quality, responsibly produced materials – like natural cork, natural latex, jute and suede – to deliver unmatched support and cushioning. Far better than your average flip flop.

THE SAME CLASSIC GIZEH, BUT WITH A TWIST

Although the design and function have remained unchanged since its introduction in 1983, the Gizeh is now more versatile than ever. It comes in a number of colours and a wide range of upper materials to suit every personal style and preference. Choose from premium oiled leather or smooth leather as well as innovative and breathable leather alternatives like Birko-Flor® Nubuck. For something that makes a statement, our patent options with a shiny coating are sure to turn heads. There’s also a vegan version. Made from skin-friendly synthetic materials, the Gizeh Vegan is entirely free from animal products.

On the colour front, next to subtle and natural-looking hues like stone, khaki and tobacco brown, BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh also shines in bright, colourful shades that will help you stand out from the crowd. From candy pinks and muted pastels to glamorous golds and other dazzling metallic tones, you get to express your truest self without compromising on comfort.

BIRKENSTOCK GIZEH SANDALS FOR ALL OCCASIONS

With so many materials and colours to choose from, the Gizeh can be worn to just about every occasion, both inside and out. Whether you’re heading on holiday, running errands or meeting friends for an al fresco dinner, BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh will be there to accompany you. From braided styles that reflect your bohemian lifestyle to the Gizeh Big Buckle, which elevates your evening attire, there’s a wide variety of Gizeh sandals to choose from to complement your style.

If you love spending time by the poolside, beach or lake, the water-friendly BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh EVA in muted and vibrant colours will elevate your best beach look while promoting your health and wellbeing with every step you take.

GIZEH SANDALS FOR EVERYONE

For over 240 years, it has been BIRKENSTOCK's mission to produce healthy footwear for women, men and kids. Since everyone deserves a pair of high-quality sandals, Gizeh's gender-neutral design and construction are made to appeal to everyone. All Gizeh sandals are unisex, however the most popular BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh for men include styles in muted shades like navy, mocha or black. These pared-back tones pair easily with shorts and a T-shirt or jeans and a white button-down for a relaxed and casual summer look. Popular BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh for women include all the classics, as well as our bright and pastel-toned styles.

HOW SHOULD BIRKENSTOCK GIZEH SANDALS FIT?

The BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh comes in sizes 1-13.5, and as with all BIRKENSTOCK sandals, the Gizeh is available in two widths (regular and narrow). It also features an adjustable strap that guarantees a comfortable custom fit. You’ll know your Gizeh sandals fit correctly if your feet fit completely inside the footbeds. If your toes touch the edge of the footbed or if they jut out over it, the sandal is too small. If there’s too much space at the toes and the heel, the sandal is too big. If the balls of the feet or the toes jut out over the edge at the sides, the sandal is too narrow. There should be a space of approximately 5 mm between your heel and the footbed edge, and approximately 10 mm between your toes and the footbed edge. There should be space of approximately 10 mm between the upper strap and the arch of the foot.
