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

These sandals are so kind to my high arches...you may have to get used to them over a few days of wear, but once you do your feet will love you each time you slide into them. I am a flip flop lover, but these stay put on my foot so much better! From someone from a northern state who hates to cover her toes, these I will wear until the snow falls!

Great shoe. I bought these for my wife since she had been lusting after mine for so long. After a week of wearing them around, she pronounced them broken in and now mourns the approach of winter, since they would surely perish in the wicked Boston snow.

I originally ordered size 39 (recommended for 8-8.5), but had to send them back because they were HUGE on me. The 38's fit perfectly. So comfy, so cute and they make even a mediocre pedicure look va-va-voom! My first pair of Birkentocks. I was scared to look too granola, but these are so cute and supportive. My plantar fasciitis is now my little secret!

Birkenstocks are all my daughter wears (husband too). I bought these as a gift and she LOVES them. I'll be back for different colors! :)

I love these sandals and have them now in four different colors. Super comfy and flattering on my somewhat wide feet.

I knew the exact show and size needed, but could not find it locally, so I turned to Zappos. The shoes are exactly as marked, a 39, and the comfort I expect from Birkenstock, and the quality that the shoe will last for years.

Didn't know what the all the rave was about for Birkenstocks until I bought a pair. This purchase was a replacement to the first pair I wore to the ground. Such a stylish walking shoe for the weekend, commuting and giving some love back to your feet. Have the hot pink too.

Super cute, but only became comfortable after a week or two of wearing on weekends. Now they feel amazing!

These shoes, like other cork-bed shoes, definitely take some breaking in. At first, the sides and arches were giving me blisters. But now, the cork has molded to the shape of my feet and they're incredibly comfortable. If you can take the wait, they're very sturdy, comfy flip flops that don't make a flip-flop noise.

This shoe fit well. I have received numerous compliments. As with all Birkenstocks, it must mold somewhat to your feet, but it did not take long at all for the molding.

My feelings are mixed. These sandals are adorable, obviously. The plastic piece between the toes doesn't bother me at all. I wouldn't have noticed it was plastic, but I read some reviews. But I also wear flip-flops regularly, so I'm used to plastic between my toes. What I'm not used to, however, is the ridge under the toes. It doesn't look like much, and I thought I'd get used to it, but it still bugs me sometimes after about a month. Also, sometimes my toes hit the edge, which is uncomfortable. They're good standing shoes, if you have to stand for long periods. They're not good walking shoes. Sometimes they just fly off my feet. I've made the strap tighter, but it doesn't help. Then it's too tight to even fit my foot in. I feel like I have to lift my toes all the time to keep them on. Since I mostly want them for standing, and they're so cute, I'm keeping them. I hope I get used to the ridge, and that walking somehow improves.

My daughter bought it. We were impressed with Zappos prompt delivery to our US delivery and they too did a god job in packing and delivering it to us promptly. Good price, great color! This was her 3rd pair.

Love the titanium color. Has a little hint of green in it. Great support, really comfortable, but definitely more stylish than the standard Birkenstocks.

Comfortable! I wore these on my trip to Spain where we walked miles and miles and my feet never ached afterwards. Love the style, definitely recommend!

This was my first pair of Birkenstocks and I am impressed so far! They took about a week to break in, and now they are super comfortable. I get so many compliments on the hot pink color, too. I wear size 10 so I initially ordered size 41 to be safe, but ended up exchanging them for a 40. So the size chart is pretty accurate.

The shoes arrived very promptly. Great service. I have at least eight pairs of Birkenstocks in different colors. Love them. The regular fit really well because my feet are between a medium and wide size. The sizing is totally reliable, or I would never buy shoes through the mail!

I was getting tired of flip flop sandals with no support...wanted a stylish sandal with wouldn't kill my feet and legs at the end of the day. Perfect solution!

I love these shoes! I have three pairs in this style, all in cute, different colors. They are very comfortable, and they go well with anything - shorts, jeans, dresses. The pink is very bright.

Love these! Love Zappos! I bought them in my true size and they are perfect - could even have gone up a 1/2 size and been ok. I have a wide foot and a very high arch, and they fit exactly. This is my first pair of Birks. I have resisted over years of hearing how comfortable they were. Butt ugly, I thought. The strap style and the metallic silver finally overcame my fear of looking like a Hobbit. They wear great with everything, jeans, skirts, shorts.

These Birkenstock sandals are the BEST! When ordering you have to order down a size (if you are size 7, order size 6) and the gizeh style MAY take some time adjusting to the toe thong. Hang in there... They are well worth the break-in period! These sandals are wonderful for your feet and legs and there is NO slapping of the footbed on the sole of your foot and the sole of the shoe stays on your foot!

These shoes are amazing. They are so comfortable. I can walk in them all day long and since my feet have very high arches, the arch fits nicely. Also, they don't slip around- which many shoes like this do.

Once these shoes have been broken in, you'll find them to be the most comfortable shoes you own. But here's something no one seems to want to talk about: the thong, the portion that goes between your toes and is fatter than most. It *will* cause pain and possibly blisters for the first week or so that you wear them. Soldier on, and you'll get used to it, but you will also have nasty layers of dead skin between your toes where the blisters were, as you work your way to a new callus. A solid pedicure after the blisters have healed will be the trade-off for what will ultimately be one of your most comfortable pairs of shoes ever, I give them 4 stars for comfort because of the initial break-in period issues.

I'm so bummed about these. The sole had so much arch support and cradled my foot. But what is with the giant plastic thong? It was so uncomfortable. It is too bad because the sole was terrific and the style was attractive.

I just came back from a two week cruise in Europe. There was so much walking all on cobblestone streets but my new sandals made it so enjoyable. At the end of my day my feet felt great. They are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn and they look so fashionable also.
