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

Absolutely love the comfort and look of these shoes. My Dr. recommended I wear them in place of my flip flops in the summer to support my feet and spine. They are very comfortable right out of the box and look stylish. Love the Toffee color and Black Licorice. I wear an 8 and ordered the 38 regular and they fit perfect.

I love the fit and style of these. I would recommend buying a smaller size than usual. For example, I wear a 10 in women's in most shoes. However, a size 10 can also fit a 10.5 and 11 in Birkenstock sizing. So, I ended up getting a size down (a 40 instead of 41) so my size range ended up being 9, 9.5, 10. Once I got the 40, the fit was perfect. Love them.

I tried these on in the store and wasn't able to walk 3 steps without feeling massive pain between my toes. Too bad because they are really cute. If they fix the toe piece, I will definitely try again. I ended up purchasing the Arizona here at Zappos instead and love them.

I absolutely love these sandals they are the bomb! I had to buy a size down in them since they do run a little bit big. I normally wear a 37 in Birkenstock, but in the Gizeh I wear a 36. They are so cute with maxi skirts and I have bought them in several colors. I would recommend these sandals to anyone. I do have a back problem and I can wear these shoes all day without any discomfort. The toe piece does not bother me either. For people that may not be used to a thick toe piece it may take a while to get used too. I give these sandals five stars all the way!

I injured my knee and needed to find stable shoes to reduce any excess motion on the knee. I bought the Birkenstock Gizeh in Raspberry Wine to wear in the house as slippers as we have slate and ceramic tile floors. These were my first pair of Birkenstock. I didn't like them at first, as they felt stiff and the toe thing bothered me, but after about a week they started to feel really good. Now, after about 2 months of wear in the house, they are so comfortable that I bought a pair to wear outside of the home. (For those I got Onyx and it's a really great gun-metal grey. I absolutely can't wait to get through the breaking in period on this second pair!) Best of all, no knee pain and no lower back pain anymore. If you have the right shoe length, once that break in period is over, they feel excellent. I wear a 7, sometimes a 7.5 and ordered a 38. The shoe is supposed to have a more roomy, boxy fit. I did buy a cork sealant as my slipper pair's edges were starting to get dull. I also purchased a cleaner for the footbed because I didn't like how the leather smelled au naturel. I did see that some people who are hard on the shoe will install heel taps on the backs, and even though I have an aggressive wear pattern, I opted to forego the heel taps, figuring that with the Birko-Flor the price isn't so prohibitive to warrant a new pair if the heel wears down.

I waited a really long time to order these shoes because I tried them on in the store and I felt like they made my feet look wide. I found out they make this shoe in a narrow version and I ordered it with high hopes. The reviews don't lie. These shoes are amazing! They were comfortable right out of the box and the narrow width is perfect of my narrow feet. I did order the shoe in a size down from my normal size. I know these will be my go to shoe this summer.

These are awesome! I had foot surgery 6 weeks ago, and this is the most comfortable shoe! And it's more stylish than the other Birkenstock I have, so I really do like these. Try them!

Absolutely love these shoes! I had Birkenstocks in college and forgot how comfortable they were. And the Gizeh style is way more feminine than the traditional looks. I have worn them several times with cropped pants and they look very cute. And they are so comfortable. They molded to my foot within 2 hours and have been perfect ever since. I highly recommend this sandal for summer. I wear a 9.5 and the 9-9.5 size was perfect.

The plastic piece between the toes is hard and uncomfortable. Could not wear them. Not like other Birkenstocks I have purchased

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 bought these shoes hoping they would help prevent lower back pain. They are very cute for Birkenstocks, but it is taking forever for me to break them in. I want them to work so badly, but they are not quite as comfortable as I would like yet. I'm going to keep wearing them, and I hope they get comfortable and help my back, too. I also bought a size down - I usually wear a 9 but an 8 fits well. Loved ordering from Zappos! Great customer service and promptness.

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.

Perfect! Super comfortable! I ordered a narrow and it fits perfectly. The narrow is less bulky than the traditional berkenstock even through I do not have a narrow foot.

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.

My absolute favorite shoe is the Birkenstock Arizona soft bed. However, there are times when needs a slight more elegant casual sandal - doing business in Austin TX or even Clearwater FL requires slightly upscale comfort, even for a crazy cat lady artist / writer of a certain age. This fits the bill. Not quite as perfectly comfortable for my feet as the Arizona, but damn close.

I just purchased these a couple of weeks ago. At first, they were a little uncomfortable, but after breaking them in, each time I wear them they feel better. I read online how to break them in so I understood. I am starting to love them now.

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!
