no probs, you can even see where my dog liked them sooo much he had to chew them...
enjoy your bostons, they are super comfy and easy to wear, i have worn them with jeans, skirts...even track pants ( in my defense, i was in hospital!)
I love love the Gizeh, my first Birk purchase ever but sadly returned them today after 33 days. The sole was cracking. I know that birkenstocks need care but they definitely shouldn't have been cracking after 33 days. I exchanged them for Arizonas.....socks and sandals here I come. Ha ha.
Finally got a pair of these! [emoji5]️ Arizona in Mocha kids size 34 N. (I'm a women's size 5.5 but the adult sizes were too roomy for me.) To my surprise, I was told the straps are not made of leather, few of the sandals are. I have been wearing them for an hour a day for about two weeks to break them in, per their recommendation. I think I'm ready to try them for a full day now. Here's my outfit post!
I have had your exact pair of Birkenstocks for years... Travelled all over the world with them and they are way more comfortable than my Birkenstock adults versions. Only use them now for walking dog in forest, as they look slightly sad. Enjoy
Thanks everyone! [emoji5]️

Yay! I'm hoping to drag these along all over the world too! I've had a pair of Rainbow brand flip flops that have lasted me 10 years and still comfortable, so betting Birks will be the same. [emoji5]️
They don't need care.
I've worn my old Gizeh and Arizonas to do dirty garden work and have to rinse them under the hose before I'll even bring them back into the house... and they're fine.
Your Gizehs must have had a flaw.
I figure it must have been a flawed batch. A friend if mine had the same issue with Gizeh that she bought in the spring from the same store I bought mine. The sales associate said they've had a few pair come back this year. I'll tey again next year.
I cannot decide if my Arizona is too big for me or not. I normally wear size 6.5US size and I've purchased the 37 Arizona as recommended by the Birkentstock website. I do have longish toes and my second toe is longer than the big toe. I've tried on a 36 in store but the toes hit the edge and the 37 has a small gap between the heel and the back of the sandals. I got the normal vs the narrow size footbed. The strap seems loose, I might need to punch a hole. Should I get the narrow one instead? To have my big toe comfortably sitting on the footbed, I feel like I have to make sure my feet is all the way to the front and leaving the gap in the back. Will the toe bit get better when time goes? So confused.

I just got a pair of Gizeh and they look a lot better than how the Arizona is fitting. There is still a gap in the back but it's noticeably smaller.
Sorry for my ugly feet photos. It's hard to take a photo of your heel
It seems like I need a pedicure as well 
You can always email Birkenstock customer service with your images & they will get back to you.I just got a pair of Gizeh and they look a lot better than how the Arizona is fitting. There is still a gap in the back but it's noticeably smaller.

I did email them and still haven't heard back. But I went to the store and the lady told me the 36 is too small for me. I'm keeping my 37 in both styles
LOVE THEM!
