Birkenstock Women's Thong Sandal, Gizeh

Special Features of the Birkenstock Women's Thong Sandal, Gizeh:

• Upper is made from Birkenstock-patented Birko-Flor fabric, a soft material with a leather-like finish made of acrylic and polyamide felt fibers
• Footbed is made from all-natural jute, cork, and latex
• Birkenstock has partnered with the wine industry to obtain cork leftover from the bottle cork making process to reduce waste
• The leftover cork is sorted and carefully quality inspected before it enters the Birkenstock production process
• Jute has moisture-wicking properties to prevent sweaty feet
• Soft suede footliner also keeps feet feeling fresh and dry
• Firm, orthopedically correct support is designed to alleviate both temporary and chronic foot pain
• Unique contoured footbed works with the shape of the foot to improve lower body circulation
• Raised toe bar provides toes with a comfortable place to grip for greater comfort and stability
• Footbed features exceptional built-in arch support
• Birkenstock sandals weren’t invented until 1964, but the Birkenstock arch support incorporated into every sandal was invented in 1902.
• Neutral heel profile and deep heel cup help prevent heel pain and ball of foot pain
• A spacious, forgiving fit provides greater room in the toe area than most sandals
• Flexible, durable, lightweight EVA outsole with impressive shock-absorption
• Very durable. Birkenstock sandals have been known to last for decades
• You can contact Birkenstock and have them resole and recork your Birkenstock sandals when they show wear and tear rather than throwing them away
• Birkenstock is among the “greenest” companies in the world
• The adhesives in Birkenstock products are synthetic, water-based, and solvent free
• Birkenstock factories use radiant heat from the sandal production process to generate electricity thereby reducing their carbon footprint
• Birkenstock saves their excess materials and channels them into other projects such as school playgrounds, sport fields, and sound barriers along highways
• Sandals are handmade in Germany

Loved these shoes but they fit a little too perfectly and had to send them back. Birkenstock require a little room for the toes, unfortunately. If they had my size I would have exchanged in a second!
