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

Fits great. Good for working in the yard or going to the beach. I got the impression from the website that these were red, but they are not. They are more of a soft wine color with slight sparkle.

They are a good sandal; a little different than the "traditional" style. A little stiff at first. If you aren't used to a flip flop style, the part that separates your toes may take a little getting used to. As always, Zappos shipping was very fast.

What can I say? I'm a Birkenstock girl! The Gizeh Birko-Flor are a more feminine option than many Birkenstocks. I wear an 8 1/2 and the 39 regular width are perfect for me. As always, they are so comfortable and up for anything you put them through. If you've never worn Birkenstocks, note that when you first put them on they will feel hard and perhaps even a bit uncomfortable. It's a unique way of treating your foot (very well!) and you will need a bit of time to adjust. Once you do, I'll bet you'll be a Birkenstock girl too!

Got my sandals promptly. They were a lot less than elsewhere....and it's hard to find Birks that have any reduction at all. Very pleased.

Absolutely love this shoe! I have high arches and wide feet - have not been able to find a quality summer shoe till now. It takes about 3-4 weeks to break these in but once you have you'll never want to take them off!

For a sandal, you can't beat Birkenstock's arch support. I agree that the hard plastic thong was uncomfortable at first, but I have grown accustomed to it after a few wears. I bought them in the perfect pink color, which is a nice pale pearly pink. It is neutral enough to go with almost any outfit.

My new Gizeh Birko-Flor feel great! I am a Birkenstock fan and have never been disappointed with any purchase. It also feels good to receive all kinds of compliments from other people. And on top of it all, the Zappos service is just outstanding. Thanks!

While slightly uncomfortable at first, the plastic piece between the toes isn't bothersome once "broken in (wearing them two or three times)." These are incredibly comfortable and still stylish. Can be dressed up or worn casually. Just be careful for any sort of transfer to the footbed. Dirt, liquids, oils, etc will all stain!

Love my Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor! So comfortable. Love how quickly they got to my door and how easy it was to order them.

I have a few other pairs of Birks, but I needed something for summer. I'm pregnant right now and my feet never felt so good. These also looked great. I originally ordered the silver, but this metallic color is much more versatile. This is a hard to find color in stores. Thanks Zappos!

I am in love with this sandal. I was in a car accident which resulted in several ankle surgeries. I could not find any comfortable summer sandals until I found this! And not only is it comfortable, it is stylish as well.

I got tired of wearing uncomfortable sandals in the summer, as living in New York requires a lot of walking on concrete. Although these aren't the most stylish shoes I've ever owned, I still wear them in the daytime in Manhattan without feeling uncool. They are, hands down, the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, including Crocs. I bought the Antique Lace, which goes with everything and looks much nicer than it does in the pictures. It's slightly shiny/iridescent with a pinkish hue. I'm an 8/8.5 and the 39 was perfect.

First - I was so pleased I could get these shoes in narrow. The narrow shoe in combination with the fact that I can tighten the buckle makes for a perfect fit. When I bought this shoe, I made the commitment to work them in because everyone says that you have to and they were uncomfortable the first 4 or so times I wore them, but I think - a few blisters later - that I've got it worked out and I really feel like they've formed to my foot. I'm very pleased. Let's face it - they're kind of granola looking shoes, but I still think they're cute - love the silvery blue color.

I have always loved my Birkenstocks and these were no different. Yes, you have to get used to the plastic thong and yes I got blisters. But once you break them in, they are fabulous. Wish I had a pair in every color.

These sandals are super adorable and very comfortable! If you adjust the strap correctly, the piece between your toes does not rub at all, and they feel super good on feet with high arches. The bright red color is awesome! I put them on and my husband said, "Sexy!" They really are! I have owned lots and lots of Birks, and these are just another great pair that I will wear until they die.

These sandals are amazing. I've had them for about 3 weeks now and I'd be willing to bet there have been less than 5 days when I haven't worn them. Great footwear!

These shoes are AWESOME! At first they are kind of hard but keep wearing them and they will soften up! Once you wear these you will never want to wear flats again! Lol.

My doctor informed me that my arches are falling and I need arch suppert. I highly recommend these for comfort, looks and arch support.

These shoes are amazing! They fit perfectly and are so comfortable. The toe thing is a non-issue and I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Never thought in a million years I would wear Birkenstocks. Have to say, they have really grown on me and I wear them all the time! Super comfy.

I love these shoes. Birkenstock Gizeh are soooo comfortable! Great walking around town shoe!

I was super happy with my purchase. This was the first time I have ever used Zappos and it was great. I got the shoes I wanted at a great price and they came very quickly. I have worn Birkenstock sandals before and I have been looking for this style for a while. I had to give up and go to the internet, so I was thrilled to find them at Zappos. They are great shoes but they do not look too laid back, I even wear them to church. I am wearing them now and they look awesome with my freshly manicured toes! Thanks, Zappos!

As with all Birki's, I can literally walk forever with no discomfort. This lavender has a bit of metallic glow to it. Beware, as others have noticed, seem to run half size or so large, so if in doubt, order smaller. Zappos service/speed fantastic.

I love my new Birkenstocks. I've received multiple compliments when I wear them. I bought dress blues patent in size 38 regular width. I've been wearing a pair of Mayari style for a few years now in size 39. The 39 in the Gizeh were too big (the foot bed was too big). I typically wear a size 7.5 shoe and size up to an 8 if the shoe is only available in whole sizes. I've worn my new Gizehs for a month now and they are very comfortable, lightweight and durable. I highly recommend.

I've wanted these thongs in patent leather for years, and I'm happy I finally indulged. At a recent party while the other women were tottering around in their heels, I had on my sexy black patent Birkenstocks. Later in the evening when they were either barefoot or complaining of sore feet, I still had on my sexy black patent Birkenstocks and my feet were happy.
