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

I am on my third pair of these because I wear them out and just love them so much! Most comfortable summer sandal and the black patent can be dressed up or down. Love the Zappos service too - I think I received them in just 2 days!

These shoes are great! They're a fashionable and more stable alternative to flip-flops. I loved the silver. No problem with the toe piece as described in other reviews.

I love my new Birkenstocks. They arrived sooner than expected and were also available the very next day after they were out of stock on Zappos. Very comfortable but they do need to be broken into for 3-4 days.

I was nervous to try a thong-style sandal because previously I had only worn the "Arizona"-style Birks. I had no trouble breaking it in and it was comfortable for normal wear right out of the box. Wearing them for extensive walking took a few weeks of building a callus up. I love the look. The blue color on my screen is true to life. I have a very wide food and a high instep and Birkis fit me well. My little toes are just at the edge but not in an uncomfortable way.

I love these sandals. I have been wearing them for the past 8 years. The are extremely comfortable and good for long walks. I particularly like the silver as its adds a bit of glam to them.

Love these sandals! They look great with my maxi skirts and dresses and are comfortable enough to walk in all day. They do take a couple of days to break in, but after that? Fabulous, and the color goes with everything.

I have a standing desk in my office, & these are the only sandals I have found that really work with this set up. However, I wore these to a trade show recently, where lots of walking was required. The plastic thong piece that connects the patent leather strap to the sole cut my foot. I ended up with 1/2" bleeding cut. These are not returnable after they have been worn, so try them on in a store first if you can.

Great comfortable sandal. I wear a size 8, so ordered that size, but had to return because it was too big. I ordered the size below and fits great.

Great looking pair of shoes. Unfortunately the thong on the left foot was unbearable. Thought it would get better with wear, but did not. May return.

I love this shoe! so comfortable and I wear them ALL the time!! I always wear a 38 in european sizing, and a 7.5 or 8 medium in US sizes. the length of this shoe fits true to size however the width is wide. if you normally wear a medium width shoe, order the narrow in birkenstocks. I ordered a 38N and it fits PERFECTLY.

My very first pair of Birkenstocks. My friend bought these first and when I saw them I just had to have them. They are my "go-to" sandals for the summer. The silver gives it such a modern look and the footbed conforms to my foot perfectly. This may be my first pair of Birkenstocks, but it certainly won't be my last. Love them!

Simply put these are the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn. They are light years in comfort ahead of even the Arizona-style Birks and they look better, too. They're still a little frumpy but I don't mind it. I usually wear a 39 in a closed shoe and my old Arizonas were a 39 but these are a 38 and they fit like a dream. My foot is supported, my arch feels great, and I love having them on. I live in NY and ride public transit for 2 hours each day and I do a ton of walking. These sandals are equal to the task and I love them.

I have had 1 pair of Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor from 2 years ago, and I just purchased a new pair in white patent. These shoes are great. I use them also everyday in the summer, for both long and short walks. I used them also on vacation, and my feet were never tired.

So awesome! Very comfortable and quickly form to your feet! Love these and wear them every day. Even when it rains they don't slip on pavement and have gotten soaked and still look and feel the same. Definitely small, I am an 8.5 and ordered a 38 and they are perfect.

Not happy with this shoe. I had expected that they would be more of a comfortable fix. They had no give to them and after you wore them for a couple of hours they became really uncomfortable. Not true to size.

I love Zappos because it only takes a few days to get my shoes from start to finish! This is the first pair of Birkenstocks (Gizeh) that I own. I usually take size 7.5 to 8 medium and I bought size 38 regular and the size is perfect for me. I like the adjustable strap so that you can make the fit more perfect for your foot! The color of Insignia Blue matches with everything I own, and the shimmer pearlized effect is really pretty. My husband says they look like Egyptian sandals and they really make my feet look feminine. I have Morton's Neuroma in my right foot for about 10 years, and wear custom orthotics in some of my closed toed shoes. These sandals are the best because they have a raised toe bar underneath your toes so that it helps the neuroma. I was not a "flip flop" girl so it took time to get used to the hard plastic piece in-between the first two toes. I started wearing them in the house for about 15 minutes and then worked up to 15 more minute increments until I felt I could wear them outside doing errands. It took about a month wearing them every day to get used to them. I now can say that I can wear them for about 6 hours a day. One piece of advice is to "push through the pain" and they will eventually fit your feet like gloves! I now want to buy another pair in the oiled brown leather to match with my other outfits. Thank you Zappos for my first go to online shoe store!

I'm so happy with these! I ordered them on Sunday and got them on Tuesday! They are definitely patent white! I will say, the foot bed of the shoes is not as dark as they are in the picture. I have the Florida pair and fell in love so I thought I would try the Gizeh style. The patent white makes them look "dressier" which is good for work. They actually look a lot dressier than I was expecting. If they are uncomfortable at first, don't worry they will break in! The straps will stretch and the foot bed/sole will bend more as you walk.

I normally wear a 7 1/2 or 8 - I bought a 38 and it is perfect. My foot runs a bit narrow. I bought the medium and narrow to try and the narrow was definitely better. They are so comfortable from day 1. Love them!

I was very hopeful but too impatient to break them in. The toe strapping was hard and uncomfortable which elicited nerve response from the metatarsals of my foot. I'm too old to have to deal with that. Maybe o.k. with younger feet...

I wear a size 5 and in these Birkenstocks the size 35 was best, and not the size 36 that was suggested. The metallic brown color is a great neutral and goes well with most things. These are supremely healthy for your feet. I can wear them all day walking and they cradle the foot and toes in exactly the right alignment.

This is my first ever pair of Birkenstocks. I was not dissapointed. I am a 9, and I ordered what should be a 9. They were too large. I exchanged for 8.5 and was much happier. These feel GREAT on my feet. Helps with my plantar fascitis.

They fit great, love the metallic toffee color. It took a couple of weeks to tolerate the toe piece. I was looking for something that would wear longer than Kalso Earth shoes.

My niece told me to buy these sandals, that they were the best. She was right! These sandals are great! After about a week of breaking in they became the most comfortable sandals I own! They have great arch support without being too much. The footbed seems to mold to your foot. I have recommended them to my friends. I am going to be sad when winter gets here and I will have to put them away!

The look isn't my styles, however the comfort makes me overlook that! I'm a mom to 2 little boys, and comfort is the only option while chasing my little monkeys! The strap gets a little warm on my feet in the heat of the Texas summer, but I didn't want to spend the extra for the leather straps. Highly recommend for daily life!!!

I have plantar fasciitis and these feel great. My college age daughter loves the look of them. I am an average 9 but ordered a narrow because I feel Birkenstock are generally wide.
