Why the plastic thong? I like the birkenstock footbed, but found the hard plastic "thong" uncomfortable. Mephisto uses leather, not hard plastic, I can't understand why the birks folks don't do the same.

Gizeh's great! I recently purchased the Gizeh in a bright blue color. They will look great with my summer outfits. I've only worn them a few times, but they are really comfortable. I have no arch so the extra support really helps. I have small feet and wear a 5 - 5 1/2. The 35 narrow size fits perfectly. I have 3 pairs of Birkenstocks and will continue to buy more because of the comfort.

About Birkenstock
Birkenstock is based on the simple principles of health and wellness, quality workmanship and materials, and a respect for the environment. Did you know that Birkenstock created the original contoured footbed that supports and shapes to your foot when walking? And it's made of 100% natural and renewable cork. You can feel good that you are supporting your feet and the environment at the same time. You could call it sustainable comfort.
Birkenstock footwear is designed and sized to provide a roomy fit allowing your toes and feet to wiggle and be free. This sometimes takes a bit of getting used to. Also, most Birkenstock styles come in two widths: narrow and regular, so you can really find the best possible fit for your feet. For the most natural fit, your feet should rest comfortably inside the footbed and there should be about ¼” between your toes and the end of the footbed.
No other part of your body is subject to as much stress and strain as your feet and that is why it is so important to take care of them. With features like a contoured cork footbed, a deep heel cup, and a roomy toe box, Birkenstock clogs and sandals provide more than simply cushioning. Birkenstock footwear provides the perfect balance of firm support and shock resistance allowing your feet and body to be naturally supported.

Cute, but hard to break in - I haven't worn these shoes enough to know if they're going to break in well, but after a couple of days of wear, my (admittedly very, very sensitive feet) are extremely sore on the soles -- so sore that it hurts to stand barefoot. They're really cute, so I hope they work out.

My Favorite Sandal - This is my 6th pair of Gizeh. I have no problem breaking them in and I can walk for hours in them. I get more compliments when I wear them than any other sandal. I may have to get a pair in every color! They give me wonderful arch support and they are quite stylish as well I generally wear a size 6/7 depending on the shoe but I do wear a 36 in Birkenstock. Not sure why that is but they fit perfectly.

So cute... but a for a price. I have the Gizah in black, and they are really lovely to look at. They look great with jeans or a skirt. But man, oh man... the rubber thong is a killah. The thong has left the spots between my toes shredded after a couple of months of trying to break them in to no avail. Try the Wolky Serenity... I love that shoe.

Ooh la la - I have owned a couple of pairs of Birkenstocks in my lifetime - particularly I have had a pair of Gizeh's before (which I love love loved even after they melted on the back steps in 120F sunshine). I wore them everywhere and with everything. I bought this new replacement pair of Gizeh's in Calendula and I cannot convey just how breathtaking they are. The color is amazing and ever so delicious. I heart these shoes.

Birkenstock’s with "Style" I wanted Birkenstock's legendary comfort but couldn't get past the dowdy style until I saw a friend wearing the Gizeh sandals. I bought them in a groovy paisley floral and get tons of compliments.

Pleased - The sandals are very nice looking and comfortable. They take just a small amount of time to get use to because of all the pressure points the shoe gives to your foot. I have plantar fasciitis and this sandal gives me much relief from the pain and I get lots of compliments on them.

Birkenstock's Gizeh - I first purchased a pair of these shoes in Germany 6 years ago. I have worn them nearly every day during warm weather. They are still in good condition and offer very good support for walking. It was recommended to me at that time to soak the shoes and wear them wet until they mold to my foot. I found this to be very good advice as they are quite stiff and take some time to break in otherwise. My recent purchase at Zappos was because I wanted another color. I wear a size 7 1/2 M and the recommended European size 38 was too large. I returned them in exchange for size 37 which is perfect. The return process was handled quickly, efficiently and courteously. Kudos to Zappos.

GO Gizeh! I got tons of compliments from people who said- "OH they don't look like typical Birkenstock- HOW GREAT!" I have a narrow foot and they fit well (and even have another hole to buckle if I ever need them tighter)! And I love Zappos- they make shopping SO EASY!

Most comfortable sandal ever - I own three pairs in different colors and have had them resoled many times. When they finally died, I was thrilled to discover my new pair fit like a glove right out of the box. I have back trouble and these shoes help tremendously while looking very nice. I get lots of compliments.

Birkenstocks - I LOVE Birks. I have trouble with my feet, and these are the only shoes I can wear in comfort. I bought these for summer wear and look forward to bringing them out when the weather warms up. Birkenstocks run big, so I had to go down a size.
