Birkenstock Oiled Leather GIZEH Big Buckle Black BNIB 1023334

Description: Birkenstock GIZEH Big Buckle - Leather - Black Notes: Oiled or antique leather means that the leather has an antique style appearance that can show stress marks. Also, the shade of black can vary ever so slightly between each individual pair (and can be slightly different from the stock photo on this listing). Leather being a natural material can yield varying results when it is dyed/stained by the manufacturer - sometimes lighter sometimes darker. The finish can also sometimes be smooth, marked or crackled. And of course, leather will change over time too as you wear your shoes and expose them to the elements. If you'd like to see a photo of shoes in your size before you purchase, please let us know and we will happily supply. Some shoe-boxes have minor crush marks on corners from international transit. The pin for the big buckle can sometimes be flatter or rounder and require a bit more pressure to push through the holes of dense premium leather straps. Alternatively, a very thin knitting needle or the like could be used to gently and ever-so-slightly stretch the hole. The popular BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh has been given an update. As the name suggests, the Big Buckle version features a large and elegant pin buckle – a delightful eye-catcher on the otherwise understated leather strap. This makes the sandal an exceptionally classic and feminine model. Nubuck leather with an oiled finish has been used for a natural look. And the premium leather lining of the footbed will lend itself to making your feet feel luxurious!Based in Brisbane Australia, Sandy's Birkenstock Boutique has a fantastic range of authentic Birkenstock shoes and sandals ready to ship to almost anywhere in the world. Invest in your feet today with a pair of shoes that will last you years*!*See the Caring For Your Birkenstock/Papillio Shoes section below for information on how to maximise the life of your lovely new shoes! Birkenstock have been making footwear for over 200 years, and have gathered extensive knowledge in the area of foot health. This knowledge and experience is the foundation of their proven high quality sandals and shoes. The fine construction of the Birkenstock/Papillio shoe is specifically developed for the deep footbed, and corresponds perfectly to the anatomy of the foot. The Birkenstock footbed naturally surrounds the toes and guides them back to their natural position which are often painfully pushed together by fancy dress shoes. Birkenstock footwear is available in different widths. Most styles come in Narrow (fitting narrow to medium width feet) and Regular (fitting medium to wider width feet). This listing includes both the Regular and Narrow styles.

The best way to confirm your size is to do a barefoot measurement according to the diagram (second last picture of the listing) and then consult the size chart (last picture of the listing). If you fall in between sizes, we usually recommend to go up to the next size so your feet have plenty of room to move. However, some people prefer a super snug fit, so it can come down to personal preference. Caring For Your Birkenstock/Papillio Shoes CARING FOR CORK - Kelly's Cork Renew (or other similar cork sealant) should be applied to prevent your Birkenstock Footbeds from drying out. When the cork no longer looks shiny, apply a thin coat of Cork Renew. Do not be alarmed by cracks which appear where the foot bends. This is an indication that the shoe is adapting to your walking pattern. These cracks are superficial and can be repaired. Please inspect your cork footbeds regularly. If cracks appear apply cork sealant as described above. If small pieces of cork start to chip out take your shoes to a Birkenstock workshop as this should be repaired immediately. If the cork breaks down too far the only option is to replace the entire footbed including the EVA sole unit. This is called recycling. Check out our listing for Kelly's Cork Renew here: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kellys-Cork-Renew-Professional-Cork-Seal-Sealant-for-Birkenstock-Shoes-/172103676919?hash=item28122db3f7:g:gyAAAOSwPc9WwtVV DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER - Your shoes should not be immersed in water as the leather will become hard and brittle. The glues and sealants will dissolve in water. Salt water is corrosive so you should rinse the buckles whenever they have been exposed to salt water. The buckles and rivets can be replaced. AVOID EXTREME HEAT - Both the cork and the soles of your Birkenstocks can be damaged by exposure to concentrated heat. Do not leave your shoes in closed cars on warm days and keep them away from radiators and fireplaces. If your shoes become wet, allow them to dry slowly, away from direct heat. REPAIRING THE SOLES - The heels and tips of your soles should be replaced before you start wearing into the cork. It is possible to replace the entire sole unit this should be done when you have worn through the tread pattern under the ball of your foot. CARING FOR FOOTBEDS - The footbed is constructed of layers of jute and cork covered in a suede lining. The footbed is designed to absorb moisture from your feet. It is recommended to air your footbeds regularly to prevent a build up of odours which occur from excess moisture. How To Wear Your Birkenstocks Birkenstocks are meant to be worn loosely. Support comes from the footbed, not tightly secured straps. Wearing them loosely allows your feet to move naturally and also improves circulation. Backstraps worn too tightly push the feet forward, preventing them from resting naturally in the footbeds. Some people find Birkenstocks immediately comfortable. For others, it takes a few hours a day for a week or two to break them in. Although the shoes may feel rigid at times, remember that the firm support is essential for the orthotic benefits of Birkenstocks. They will become more flexible with wear. The uppers will become more supple and the footbeds will adjust slightly to your feet. If your feet are unaccustomed to the contour footbed, start gradually wearing them for a couple of hours a day for the first week or so.
