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

I am so excited for these sandals. It is so hard to find a CASUAL black sandal that isn't a flip-flop. Ordered an 8/8.5. I am a solid size 9 in every other shoe. Order down. You'll be glad you did.

My first pair of Birks. Love the silver metallic. I ordered the narrow size as the regular are too wide even though my foot is wide, narrow fit is just right. I look forward to wearing these for a long time.

Love these sandals. They fit just as you would expect a pair of Birkenstocks to fit...nothing new here. Very minimalistic, but great support for a sandal. Not a lot going on, which makes these sandals easy to dress up or dress down. I'm on my 3rd pair. Turns out my German Shepherd loves them too, particularly the toe thong. This time they don't touch the floor unless they're on my feet!

Most comfortable shoes ever - very cute too!! I read all the reviews about buying a size down and decided to buy both a 39 and a 38 to see which fit the best. I wear an 8.5 in a regular shoe and all my other Birk's are a 39. I found this shoe to be true to size and the 39 did fit the best. In my opinion this shoe does need to be bought in a size smaller.

At first I did have some discomfort with the leather between the toes, but that was just a matter of not wearing any type of sandal for the winter months. I loved the way they look and after a couple of days of wearing them for 8 hours or longer they are very comfortable.

My feet have never been happier! I get bouts of plantar fasciitis and after my really cute sandals triggered it this last time I broke down and bought some Birkenstocks. These sandals are soooo comfortable. My feet felt amazing right when I stepped into them. And I was symptom free and able to do yoga without taping my foot which I had to do all last year! I wish I had bought these a long time ago. These definitely run large as I normally wear an American size 6 but had to order a size 35. The wide straps are super comfortable. The toe part feels like any flip flop but I grew up in Florida so my feet are very much used to something between my toes. I can see how the hard plastic would be uncomfortable for a person not used to that.

Birkenstocks run huge. I am an 8/8.5 (39) and I definitely would need a 38. Never have seen shoes that run this big and wide before.

They were really cute and I wish they would have worked out but the piece between the toe is super hard plastic and made me wince in pain with every step. Weirdly, only on one foot, so maybe everyone wouldn't have this issue.

Just purchased my third pair of Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-flor because I like them so much. I wear them all summer and although they are very sturdy, after a couple of years they get a little weary. They are super comfy for my poor, sad feet which have seen many miles.

I am a 6.5 and purchased 37 regular. My toes aren't long so sizing up wasn't an issue. Footbed fit perfectly. 38 was too long for me.

Too large - I always get a size 39 in euro sizes; but these are way too long. I ordered 2 styles and they both are too large.

Birkenstock has the most durable, comfortable sandals on the market. I love that Birkenstock comes in narrow sizes! There is a short "breaking in" time, but it's not uncomfortable like other sandals I've purchased. Love this brand & will certainly buy other styles.

I couldn't be happier with this sandal. My feet hurt terribly after my pregnancy due to plantar fasciitis, I wasn't able to wear any sandal with a flat sole. I wore them all summer and into fall without any foot issues. I'm a size 8 and ordered a size 8 and it was a a perfect fit with a bit of room at the top like they mention these sandals should have. Overall I'm much satisfied and will most definitely order a pair of Birks in the future.

I have worn these shoes extensively for the past four summers. Three of those summers were spent wearing them in intense heat and humidity of Japanese summers. They are stylish in the "Jesus sandle" fashion, easy to slip on, and very comfortable and roomy. I noticed consequently that lots of Japanese people and tourists also wear these shoes. After four summers of wearing them extensively, I'm looking for a new pair for sake of variety. But it I continued to put another coat of cork sealant on them, they would do just fine another summer. I wear a 7.5 - 8 and the 38 fits me really well.

I love these shoes! I am so happy I bought them. I saw them in a magazine and became obsessed, then bought them on Zappos because of good price and free shipping both ways (in case they did not fit). You will not regret getting these, the silver metallic goes with everything and I rarely even wear any other shoes anymore. I do live in San Diego, so it is perma-flip-flop here usually. These Birks are cute enough to dress up (a bit) or just wear casually. I wear them with shorts, skirts, pants, jeans, dresses, and to yoga class! I am usually a size 7½ or 8 and I got the 38N and they fit perfectly. I have never bought a narrow fit shoe before, but I read a few reviews and found that a Birk narrow usually fits unless you have wide feet. I will say that I did not notice any particular snugness from them being narrow so I recommend you get them unless you have wide flat feet. Also, I have a very high arch, which sometimes means a strap that goes over or across the top of my foot doesn't fit or is uncomfortable. I had to adjust the strap to the loosest notch, and they fit beautifully with no pressure or discomfort. They are super comfortable, I literally love wearing these every dang day!

I am so disappointed; I really wanted to love these sandals. I ordered the Insignia Blue; the color is beautiful. The fit is good (a little roomy); I am a true 9 and the 9-9½ is a bit roomy, but the straps can easily tighten the fit. I really wanted to love these sandals but the plastic in between the large toe and the second toe is not comfortable. It might break in but I could hardly stand walking around my living room, so I am not sure how long I could tolerate breaking them in. I also have slightly wide feet, and the way they looked on my feet was not very flattering. I think if you have narrow feet, or a feet that are not wide, then these are probably more flattering. I am sending these back due to uncomfortable plastic.

It's funny to wear a new pair of Birks since my Florida Birks are 20 years old! The old pair finally wore out & I replaced them with this newer, prettier version. I love the look, and these feel great! The toe thong doesn't bother me at all. I actually really like it. It feels like the sandal is more secure on my foot than the Floridas were.

These are a little more bluish silver than I had hoped, but they still look great with most things. I usually wear orthotics for alignment issues, but these sandals seem to do the same thing. I would definitely recommend them. Can't wait until summer so I can get them out again.

I just got these in the mail and they fit perfectly! I still need to break them in but the support on my feet already feels great. I listened to the reviews and got a smaller size. I am usually an 8-8 1/2 but I got a 38 in these sandals and I am glad I did.

Loved but the plastic (between the toes) hurt my big toes (I have bunions though). I loved the foot bed, perfect color, and perfect style. I'm bummed out because I couldn't wear them. Had to return.

Color is beautiful will go with anything. Instantly comfortable. No break in period. If you thought you would never like birkis, try these. They are fashionable and yet don't give you the feeling of wearing hippie shoes.

I was recently diagnosed with planter fascistic and need extra arch support. These were wonderful, very comfortable. I was able to walk all day while on vacation with no trouble.

I order two pairs of sandals from Zappos. One fit, one didn't. Zappos did everything they said they would do when I returned one pair. It was fast and easy. I would order again from Zappos.

This is my 2nd pair of Birks and 1st thong style. At first, I wasn't sure about the thong piece between the toes. It seemed like hard rubber but after wearing them it is not an issue. I love them just as much as my 1st pair.

I am a size 7 and Birkenstock 38 is almost 3/4 inch to an inch bigger. I will size down to 37 and see how it fits. Also, the toe holder hurts. It could be because it was the wrong size for me.
