Other colors.
This is a great shoe. However I wish it would come in other colors. Maybe gold!

Best Shoe on the Market!
I have at least a dozen pairs of
Birkenstock's Gizeh shoes. I wear them day and night and find them the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. The style works for both casual and dressy. Excellent support when standing many hours. My only complaint is I'm told this style is no longer being made in the narrow width. Please, please re-consider this decision. I've only bought one pair this winter which was the only one available in the narrow width. Many of my friends are now wearing Gizeh too, due to my continual praise of this style. Your Maui
Birkenstock Stores are just superb! We spend our winters here annually. First admired them a few years ago on a lady who highly recommended them due to the comfort. She said she owned 35 pairs, I thought she was crazy then, but I'd be the same if they continued to make them in the narrow width!

I love
Birkenstocks -
I have 8 pairs of
Birkenstocks, but this is the best one. I bought this shoe about 8 or 9 years ago and still have the same pair. They are my favorite shoes. I would buy another pair, but it takes so long to break
Birkenstocks in!

Well, after much
hype over these shoes I decided to try them. These felt awkward on my feet no matter how much I adjusted the strap, and I know they were the correct size. The thong piece is hard plastic and it hurt. The phrase "break the shoe in" is a mild understatement on these puppies. It's not worth it!

Ugly but awesome!
I always swore I'd never wear
Birkenstocks, but this is the most amazing shoe ever! I walked 7 miles
home from Manhattan to Brooklyn during the blackout and not a single blister!

Great shoe!
Very comfortable, and I love how stylish it is! It tends to run a little large though, so I had to buy it a size smaller than I usually wear.

Gizeh's are GREAT!
What I like best about this style of Birkie is that it fits perfectly! Because of the adjustable vamp strap, anyone can wear this shoe and look great. I am overweight and often have swollen feet...but these shoes continue to feel good even at the end of a long day.
The absolute next best thing is that this style is simple, elegant, and feminine. I can easily wear this in the office without a second thought to style because I know it looks good with
pants or a
dress. These are my number one summer
sandles!

Excellent shoe,
Lovely very comfortable. Although I wear an American 8 1/2 and ordered a 38, I should have ordered a 37--they seem to run big.

Three cheers for Gizeh -
These
birkenstock sandals are truly comfortable and comform to my feet within a few days. I use my
birkenstocks during my daily four to six mile walk...These have done wonders for my lower back, knees and instep...I can't praise these enough. I highly recommend these
Birkenstocks...

Help for the thong newbies!
I love
birkenstock and wear gizehs almost exclusively. I have two pair one of which is five years old. They do actually take a bit to break in. I have worn thong
sandals all my life and the plastic part on these babies still made my toes hurt at first! I would recommend wearing them around the house and on short trips for a couple weeks. If that doesn't help try bending the shoe a bit at the toe, this takes some of the pressure off the toe piece.
It sounds like alot but once you and your birkies get acquainted they are truly an awesome shoe!
Also in terms of size Birks are true to fit...in euro sizes. For the USA folks that means order about 1 to 1.5 sizes down. That should work.
