Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh

These shoes are so cute, I especially like the pink soles. After your foot molds into the cork they are very comfortable. I had to exchange mine because they run big. Order 30+ your shoe size. I wear a 9 so I exchanged for a size 39 and they were right on point.

These are great! They have the classic, supportiveness of the Birkenstock footbed, but the patent/pink color makes them seem much less dowdy and clunky than most Birkenstocks. The thong support is thick stiff plastic that takes some getting used to. These are fun and comfy!

The shoes were comfortable but I found sizing difficult. I'm a 7.5 and ordered the 38. They were close to too small, but I'm sure the 39 would be huge. I ordered the yellow, which was really fun and bright. Unfortunately I just didn't like how these looked on my feet! Returning.

Love these shoes. I could wear them every day, super comfortable!

I bought these sandals after breaking a toe. They took a bit of getting used to since the soles are very stiff. However, they gave my foot very good support while my toe healed. Much cuter than a boot cast!

I ordered this in a 38 as the chart said it was for 7-7.5 and I am a size 7. It was one size to big. I wish I had read the reviews before I bought as one reviewer said that US size 7 was really a 37. I reordered a 37 and it fits perfect.

This is my first pair of Birks - ever and I'm obsessed with these sandals! I bought the black patent leather with the pink bottoms and loved them so much, I bought them in Mocha too! Great colors on both by the way. I am an 8.5 and initially purchased the size 39. When they arrived, they were loose so I ordered the 38 - perfect! It helped a lot to tighten the strap. They did take a little time to break-in and the piece between the toes was a little irritating at first - but wow, so comfortable now. My feet get easily fatigued after wearing flip flops for more than a few hours but these, I can (and do) wear all day. As a matter of fact, I think I wore them every day this summer. They're cute - I get a lot of compliments on them and wear them with everything. We just got a cold snap here and I'm sad I haven't been able to wear them lately, but I just ordered the Birkenstock Boston and should receive them tomorrow. Can't wait! I ordered a pair of Boston's for my husband too and I know he will love them too! I thank you and my feet thank you Birkenstock and Zappos!

Very flattering and feminine for a Birkenstock. A touch narrow but still comfortable. Color is more of a greenish turquoise.

I finally bought my first pair of Birkenstocks! I have been jealous of Birkie wearers for years, they always look so comfortable in their supportive "hippie" shoes. Finally after summers of killing my feet in regular flip flops I bought these. I can honestly say they help/correct my feet. No pain while wearing them, and no foot pain the day after wearing them. My only regret is that I didn't buy a pair sooner - these are so cute - I could not resist! They're great! I do agree with other reviewers - it takes a few days of wearing them to break them in.

Order a size down. Toe piece was more comfortable than expected. Great for after workouts.

I really loved the look of these sandals. Unfortunately they were very uncomfortable and I was unable to wear them.

I can't get these things off my feet! They are so comfortable! I get compliments everywhere I go on the color (teal) and how cute they are. I am a true size 7 and got the 7-8 and they fit perfect. I have narrow feet so I got narrow but they're almost a little to narrow but I like how tight they fit so I didn't exchange. Might need another pair on another color.

These were my first pair of Birkenstock sandals. After a short breakin period, they became more comfortable. Provide stability and great style!

I love this shoe, and am glad the company has added some styles that are a bit dressier. The last pair I had was 15 years ago and I think they fit slightly better than this pair. These are a tad bit wide, and the lip in front of the toes takes some getting used to, but these are all very minor matters. I will happily order these again in the future, just waiting for more great colors to come out.

Was skeptical about ordering 'Vegan' Birkenstocks, but these are great. The Birki-Flor material is attractive, soft, supple and looks just like leather. I've work the Gizeh style for a few years, now, so the break-in period was nil for me. I wore them out of the box for an evening event and I felt like I had had them for years. I agree with others who suggest that newbies go slow and give these sandals a fair shot. It's worth it. It's the closest thing to going barefoot (which I can no longer do, due to plantar fasciitis) and they are very easy to slip on and slip off. Speaking of plantar fasciitis, Birkenstock shoes, worn religiously, have greatly helped turn around the great heel and arch pain I was suffering several months ago. And with Gizeh and several other styles of Birks that I own, I don't feel like I'm relegated to ugly orthopedic shoes. The arch support in Birks has often been described by others as 'aggressive', but that's exactly what some of us with foot problems need. They may not be 'office-worthy' for many people, but since I am retired, I am fortunate to be able to wear them, day in and day out. The price point for these long-wearing sandals is also very nice! Thanks, Zappos, for your usual prompt delivery!

I have them on now, here at work! Been in these shoes since they arrived a couple weeks ago. Love them perfect for Summer. I bought 2 pairs - the White & purple. True to size. I wear an 8 and bought the 39; fits exact. They are very cute on your feet.

Outstanding! My first pair ever of Birkeys and I love them so much I bought another pair. Great color, great fit, and just so soft and very attractive.

I have about six pairs of Birkenstocks in various stages of wear. I absolutely love them and I love these. Of course, the light color of both the leather and the soles mean I have to be a little more careful than I usually am, but they are really sweet! I bought my regular size in Birks and they fit great.

Never thought I would own a pair...but they are super comfy (after a short break in period) and cute! Might have to own another pair!

I have been this model of Birkenstock, the Gizeh, since I bought a pair at the base of the Duomo in Firenze (Florence)), Italy. That summer I walked sometimes 50 blocks a day and these were the only shoes I wore. That was 11 years ago and for 6 months out the year, I basically wear these shoes only. It takes a day or two to get used to a new toe thong, but after that they mold to your feet, keep your feet and lower back at the right angle (I say that as a yoga instructor) and in pink, white, orange, really accent your feet. Cute in long dresses and skirts, perfect with shorts, best sandal ever! Worth every dime. Zappos rules for many color choices.

I had to retire a pair of Gizehs from 1998 this year, and was quite sad to let them go. These new Gizehs have filled their place quite nicely. Took about a week to wear them in, and they haven't let me down yet. I walk a ton with my dog, and I could wear these for 10 hours a day no complaints. Just got back from 2 weeks in Spain, and wore them for about 8 miles a day, every day. I hope they last as long as the last pair! I wear a 9, always, and the 39 is perfect. I also have very high arches and most shoes make my feet ache after a couple miles, but not these Birks.

Great color and I value the real leather uppers (Unlike birko-flor). They run big though - I am normally a 6.5-7 so I first ordered the 37 (my normal European size) but the 36 fit me much better.

My nine year old loves them! They are hard to break in so it takes patience and time. Once they are, they are the most comfortable sandals. I have three pairs and my daughter is on her second. She loves the pink accents.

I just received my pair of Gizeh this morning and I ordered them less than 24 hours ago! My review is based solely on my first impressions, walking around inside my house. I am obsessed with the way the color, style, and fit. They definitely don't have a squishy insole, but are extremely comfortable. I don't even feel the toe thong piece between my toes. The Nubuck leather is so comfy. The color is amazing!!! I bought mine in Billiard Nubuck. The color is just slightly greener than the famous Tiffany Blue. I am certain the color alone will gain many compliments. I was looking for a more supportive sandal with style for my upcoming vacation to Florida; I think I've found exactly what I was looking for. :)

This is a fun shoe. I've received a lot of compliments on them. Still trying to break them in. I think they will be my favorite summer shoe once I wear them enough to mold to my foot!
