Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh - Birko-Flor™ & Birkibuc™

These are true Birkenstocks. They need a few weeks to break them in. They are now so comfortable and cute. I'm a size 7, and I order an 8.

I'm usually a size 7.5 and run on wide. This shoe was super cute, but unfortunately it is a bit too big and just right for width. I'm afraid it wouldn't be wide enough but can't see a wide width selection.

This shoe runs a size big, go down. But Zappos is amazing since they sent me another before I even put the too big size in a box to return. Basically returning experience was fast and easy.

These are only sandals I can actually wear for walking significant distances in. I walk around town and chase my toddler around at the park so I can't wear flip-flops or cutesy sandals with no support. These are super comfortable and stylish for what they are. I just ordered a second pair, so now I have them in white and black. As for the sizing, I say they run big. I have wide feet and usually wear a size 10. I can wear some 9.5 and in running shoes or sneakers I wear a 10.5. On me, the 41 is a little big, and the 40 is almost perfect...maybe a teeny tad small, as my toes push up against the edge on my "larger" foot (I have one bigger foot), but not enough to bother me. I didn't like the clunky look of the extra length on the 41s so I decided to go with 40s in these. Wore them all summer, no pain or problems.

I love the Gizeh Birko-flor! These are my third pair of Birkenstocks. I had my last pair, which were exactly the same as these, for 2 years and they were still in great shape. They are the only sandals I wear, and wouldn't have needed a new pair, but my puppy really likes that leather. I wear a 6.5 in shoes and a 36 in these. If you wear closer to a 7, I would go up to a 37. These are the best and most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Do yourself a favor and treat your feet to them.

This shoe is very comfortable and it happens to be in style this season. The patent leather makes it a little cuter/dressier/trendy than the normal Birkenstock. I had to send the first pair back as the size was too large. I normally wear a size 7 shoe but it runs large so I had to get one size down.

Love the color, I get lots of compliments. You have to be ready for the Birkenstock footbed though, it is not for every one. Love the color!

These are SO comfortable except between the toes! Not sure if they would continue to rub after wearing them a few times. Wear a 9 and ordered a 40. Fit perfectly.

Birkenstock makes a great quality shoe. I purchased these to take with me on my trip to Las Vegas in the summer, but I wanted to get them so I could have a few months to break them in before I take off walking 5 miles a day.

I haven't owned Birkenstocks since 1990 and purchased these to help with my plantar fasciitis. Wow, these are awesome and look really cute with everything. These will be my go to shoes this summer. Had to return for a size smaller but they fit perfectly now.

I love Birkenstocks. This is my second pair. Last year I wore my Birkenstock sandals touring around Europe. They are the most comfortable shoes I have worn in a long time. Got them in the metallic blue color which is super cute.

These are great shoes! I am a teacher, on my feet all day and these are super comfy. I liked them so much I ordered a second pair of Birks in a different style!

I love these shoes. I wore out an identical pair over several years and just needed to replace them. I could not find them in a narrow width in person, so I took a chance on ordering online. I loved dealing with Zappos. The shoes were delivered on time, the price was ok, and I felt confident that I could return them if need be. Thank you Zappos and Birkenstock!

So glad Birkenstocks are back in style! They are so comfortable I don't want to wear anything else!

I'm giving 5 stars for comfort because I know these will be fine after a few more days. Though I've worn Birkenstock sandals for 30 years, these were tough getting used to. I'm still hobbling a bit - but it's been better each time I wear. I don't know why it's been such a tough go since I wear thongs all the time. The only thing I can think of is that the thong part on these is very hard plastic. I can wear most of the day now and imagine one day soon I will not even notice. All I can say is hang in there if you're having problems at first and like the shoe. It does indeed get better - and if not trade for the Madrid - now that's one comfy sandal. Also I usually wear a 9, but always get 39 in Birkenstock unless I'm going to wear with socks (yeah, I'm just an old hippie)...in which case I get a 40. Really, you can't go wrong with any Birkenstock-some just take a little more initial tending. These will be great in another week or so and they'll last for years. I had one pair with 11 years of hard wear and they still looked fine (cork insole replaced). I kept just because I loved them but finally had to let them go - a sad farewell.

They fit great! They look great! I'm wearing them right now. Highly recommend. I will probably get them in a few more colors.

Love these Birkenstocks! The footbed seems narrower than my Arizona-style, so it comes off as more feminine. I am already choosing my next color. I needed an alternative for the Danskos that I've been sporting in the cooler months, and these sandals will provide the support I require.

Love these sandals, which has been a pleasant surprise. I always loved the style, but was reluctant to purchase as I have a difficult time with sandals between my toes. Although stiff at first, I never got a blister or any skin abrasion on my toes and they quickly came to feel totally comfortable. I was also hesitant about the uppers not being leather as my other Birkenstocks are, but once again have been happily surprised that they are just as soft and comfortable as leather is. I have a slim foot, so I ordered one size up in the narrow width and the fit is perfect (I wear 38 reg or 39 narrow). Love them so much I ordered the silver too.

These are the best sandals you can wear. I have used the Gizeh for almost 7 years now and I cannot find a sandal that is more comfortable than this. I can stand on them all day without getting sore feet and I can walk with them long distances too. They are also very good quality and very long lasting. My 7 year old silver Gizeh sandals still look like new after a lot of wear summer after summer. 4 years ago I bought another pair in black patent. They are so nice and so versatile. I can wear them with anything. Love them! I buying another pair in a different color this summer. My daughters share them with me and they love them too.

Like all Birkenstock's they are very uncomfortable at first-especially between the toes...I wore them around the house for a week and now they fit like a glove! LOVE THEM. They will not leave my feet this spring (if it will ever stay warm) In the meantime they have been my "house slippers"! I also have super high arches-and Birkenstock's are the best "flip flop sub" out there for my problem...oh, and ZILLOW is THE BEST! I can't leave that out! No they didn't pay me to say that. ;)

Delivered in a timely fashion...wonderful fit...love the shoe! Very well made and good fit.

I am a lover of all things Green and these are amazing. They look more blue in the photo on my computer, but they are actually a lovely shimmering green. As Birks go, these are just as comfy as the next one. The thong is bothersome in the beginning, but quickly improves. They are comfortable and cute. This is my 4th pair of Birks and they are my favorite so far!

I have three daughters and ordered these for Valentines day to give to them. The color is beautiful, but had to send all three back and order a size smaller. The smaller pairs fit perfectly and they are all looking forward to wearing them in the spring.

Love this sandal. This is my third time buying this style of Birkenstock and it's a sandal that provides really good support for arches and looks really cute! I've had it in brown and purple before and I really like how sleek the black looks. I wear a size 7.5US but ordered this sandal in a size 37. I think this runs a little small, but it's my preference. Personally, my turnover time with this shoe is about 2 years, but that is with some extreme wear (hiking, tidepooling, exposure to salt water, skateboarding, world traveling). If you want them to last longer, stay away from water!

This sandal is a true lifesaver since I hurt my foot and had to revise my opinion of "fashionable" shoes. Birks are one of very few shoes that I can now wear without foot pain by the end of the day. Sizing is a little different, because I usually wear a 5 1/2 in other brands, and I have to have a 35 in Birkenstocks (a 36 is too long, and 34 is available in girls but it is a touch too short). Thank goodness for Zappos for providing some choices, because not all styles are available in size 35 and thanks to the easy return policy I can determine if I have to have a narrow or normal width depending on the style. Successfully adapting to the Birkenstock footbed requires having exactly the right size. The Gizeh style was the easiest for me to adjust to, because I had worn "thong" style shoes for decades and easily adjusted to the strap between the toes. The cork foot bed required a little more time to become comfortable, but each wearing became more comfortable so just give it the time to become familiar and adjust to your foot, and you'll never want to take them off. By the end of summer, I was crushed that it was really too cold to wear them all winter -- I still wear them every time it warms up and can't wait for spring.
