Classic Gizeh Thong Sandal

The Birkenstock Gizeh N43853 is a silver patent Birko-Flor® thong sandal built on the original contoured cork footbed. It is made in Germany using the same cork and leather construction the company has refined since 1774. The adjustable buckle vamp strap allows a customised fit for daily wear.

Suited for narrow to medium widths

This model fits EU size 42 with a width designation of 15, which corresponds to a narrow-to-medium profile. Shoppers needing a wider last or a closed-toe silhouette will not find the volume or coverage they require here. The thong style also leaves the heel and instep open.

Footbed moulds to the foot over time

The cork-latex footbed distributes body weight evenly across the whole sole, delivering signature arch support and deep heel cupping. The rubber toe post and patent upper hold the foot securely while the materials gradually adapt to individual contours. The single buckle strap provides the only adjustment point.

Questions about this item

Does the 15 mm width fit a standard EU 42 foot without extra insoles?

The sandal is built on the original Birkenstock footbed in EU 42 with a 15 mm width; the cork-latex core moulds to your foot over time so no additional insoles are required.

Will the patent Birko-Flor® upper stretch like the leather straps on my older Arizona pair?

The patent Birko-Flor® upper on this Gizeh model does not stretch the way natural leather does, so the adjustable buckle vamp strap remains the primary way to fine-tune the fit.

How can I confirm the contoured cork footbed is moulding correctly after a few wears?

Even pressure across the whole sole, a deepening heel cup impression and the toe post settling comfortably between the first and second toes show the footbed is shaping to your foot as intended.
