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

I love these shoes! I wear a size 9-91/2. Most of my shoes are a size 9. I ordered the size 40 and based on the reviews thought they might be too big but they fit perfectly. I do have high arches and wide feet(though I seldom actually get a wide shoe size) so that's why I decided to get the 40 instead of the 39. The thong between the toe is bothering me and making my foot swell a little but it's only day one. This always happens to me in the beginning of the flip flop season anyway and goes away after a week or so. The foot bed is very comfy so far and I hear it will get better. When I first put them on I was tripping and had a hard time walking in them. My husband who just bought some Birks, said that it is normal because of the way the bed supports the toes, which is different from other types of shoes. After an hour or so I got used to it and stopped tripping all over. I am trying to find some shoes that will be good for 16 days in Italy this fall with a lot walking. I hope these will work for that, time will tell!

Love. I used to wear Birkenstocks and I had forgotten how comfortable the foot bed is. I wear a 7 and ordered a 38 (based on the size chart). Had to return them for a 37, which is perfect. The red leather required no breaking in and they look great!

I have 5 pair of Birkenstocks and for some reason this pair does not feel like it has any support at all. I swear by the brand, but after trying to wear them for 5 hours, I had to take them off. My feet started burning and aching badly. I don't know what is wrong with them. Sorry for the bad review on this pair of Birkenstocks.

I do not need to rave about the quality of Birkenstock, or the service of Zappos. It's already been said. What I want to add to the great reviews here is a piece of information that I read in some reviews before that we should order one size up as it runs small. Absolute NOT true. Another point is that the thong in the middle does feel a little uncomfortable, but I believe it will get better once the sandal is broken in.

I love this shoe! For those of you that cannot walk around in flip flops all day because they don't provide enough support - this shoe is your answer. They are cute and provide enough support to walk all day. They are also great for those of you that have a wide foot.

Absolutely love these shoes, I can't say enough good things about them. I hesitated ordering after reading a few reviews that complained about the piece that goes between your toes, but gave in and ordered. I haven't had any problems, they have been very comfortable since the first time I wore them. In fact I will be ordering them in at least one more color once I save up my pennies! lol

Bought these to replace the pair I had, which had a crack in the cork bed and was unrepairable. I put these new ones on, and was instantly reminded of how stiff they can be right out of the box -- the old pair was completely molded to the shape of my feet after seven years, and almost felt like part of my feet. Nevertheless, these are very comfortable, and I know they will soften as I wear them. The more I wear them, the better. They are less sporty than other Birkenstock designs and I wear them with skirts and dresses. My feet are on the small side of size 5, and I got 35. Perfect fit. I like that I can adjust the strap to fit my narrow feet. Highly recommended.

Amazing shoe. I just got back from a two week trip to India and never took them off. Great heal and arch support.

Love these shoes. Got them in a narrow width and they are less clunky that way. Very stylish, modern, yet comfortable.

Excellent sandals! Comfortable right out of the box. I had no problem with the toe piece, although I frequently do with other sandals. I got the titanium color and they look almost gladiatorial (in a good way). I'm glad to be back in some Birkenstocks.

I love Zappos and their excellent customer service. The toffee is a beautiful brown with the perfect hint of shine that dresses them up just a bit. Unfortunately, these sandals run really big and it took me three tries to figure out my size - once I did the sandal was out of stock. I wear a 7 in most shoes and a 38 in Danskos, but I wear a 36 in these! So take note when ordering and try at least one size down.

This is my 3 rd pair of Gizeh's so obviously I love them. Birkenstocks are the only shoe I can wear all day, almost standing and walking all day, and not have hurting feet. Love the color: it looks silver in some light, and and more of a bluish green in some lots. Looks great with khaki! Dressy but casual. love them!

Great color! Great shoe! I have worn Birkenstocks for 20 years and have never been disappointed. Also, great price!

The red Gizeh Birko-Flor sandals I received are great. Love the color. This is my 5th pair of Gizeh Birko-Flors and I would highly recommend them.

I love love love these sandals! This was my fourth pair! I keep buying these particular sandals because they are perfect for work, hanging out, going out, vacations, and anything else I may do in the summer! They are flip flops without the flip flop! They stay on my feet and always feel secure even if I need to take off into a sprint or do ninja kicks. I recommend these to anyone who wants to be comfy and look cool!

Love my new Birkenstocks, they're super-comfortable so I can go on walks without compromising my feet/legs by wearing flip-flops. I always thought they were too crunchy for me, but this style in the metallic colors are super-stylish. I normally wear a size 6.5-7, so ordered both the size 6 and 7. I ended up fitting perfectly into the size 6 and gave the other pair to my mother-in-law. They're breaking in quickly, but I never had any problems with the toe area. Probably because I wear flip-flops so often since we live near the beach.

I love the black patent! Dresses up or down, and looks a little special. My fiance does not like the gladiator look, and he thought these to be in that genre. (Can you believe there's a man on the planet that doesn't love that look?) I totally disagree with his conclusion, but I do want him to like what he sees on my feet so back they went. I opted for another style of Berkies in silver leather! Same affect I wanted to achieve... I love my Berkies -- have worn them for more years than I care to publish.

Second pair. The first pair lasted 10 years! I love them because you can order them in Narrow. Excellent treatment for your feet!

I just bought the Gizeh in silver. The toe piece is very comfortable, maybe because I am already used to wearing a sandal with a thong strip? I wear an 8 AAA but a 38 narrow in Birkenstock fit great. This is my 2nd pair, and having a knee injury, I love the arch support. The silver color adds a nice bit of glam, too.

Love them! Very accurate fit! Comfortable! Light weight. Easy to pack for traveling. All around great sandal! Thanks Zappos!

Comfortable and classic without looking so cumbersome. Perfect for spring and summer in Arizona.

This sandal is absolutely amazing! Shipping was fast (and free) and I couldn't be happier! The shoe itself has great arch support, and the color (jade) is even more beautiful in person. You won't regret buying this sandal!

Fits exactly like a glove. Hugs your feet. I wear a medium. Excellent arch support. I would go half size up. But the sizes don't offer that option. It's European sizing.

These were a gift for my 19 year old daughter. They run a bit large, but after we sorted out that issue, she loves them!
