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

These are the only shoes I wear in the summertime. I have them in literally every color that Zappos has offered for the last 5 years. They are versatile and can be paired nicely with dresses or skirts, yet also are very comfortable for longer walks. The color choices are great as well. For those that complained about the thong being too painful, make sure that you loosen the strap one or two notches, or maybe you need a wider footbed. It may take a little longer for the patent leather to wear in, so just think about that when you order. Although, I have to say that I love the saturation of color with the patent, so bright and happy. By far, the best shoe! I wish they had something this good looking for the wintertime.

This is a good, well made shoe. I have two. But, the company's judgment in placing a hard piece of plastic as the thong was very poor. I can and will wear this shoe for its other qualities. But the quality is much lower as a result of this decision.

I LOVE these sandals. First pair of Birkenstocks ever and I can't believe how comfortable they are. I walk everywhere I go and my feet are always comfortable and well supported in these shoes. Also they are super cute! I did have to go down a whole size in comparison to my normal shoe size.

I LOVE my Birkenstocks! I cannot sing their praises enough. I always thought they looked a little too hippy-ish, but I am a total convert. I bought my pair of Gizeh sandals about 4 years ago and I wear them all summer long. It did take a few wears to break them in, but once they mold to your foot they will be comfortable forever. I have the silver pair and they look very stylish with many outfits - a great color choice! The support of the Birkenstocks is great, too! Flimsy flip-flops provide no support for long summer walks at all, but the Birkenstocks do without a doubt. You better believe I'll have at least one pair of these sandals for the rest of my life!!

Normally wear an 8.5, ordered the size 9 equivalent. Just took two wearings to break them in. So comfy - I'm a fan!

I've owned Birks in the past, so I was confident that I would like these. As in other reviews, I found the toe piece to be a little bit of trouble. It is flat. Weird design. That said, I wore them for a few hours the first day, and after that they were fine.

I really wanted to like these. I've seen them on other women and thought they were rather cute. But the cross strap was high and wide, emphasizing my ankles (not my best feature). They just didn't look good. Would recommend if you have thinner ankles. Otherwise, they were very comfortable.

I wear a 5.5 and initially ordered a 36. I had to send 'em back for a 35. They fit great. So I'd say that the sizes run a little big versus American sizing. So far as Birks go, these are incredibly good looking. But they are Bikrenstocks, so if crunchy is your look, they're for you. But if you're not so much into the granola scene, you may want to go find something a little less comfortable and more fashionable. They're wide, comfy, and as good-looking as Birks can be.

The toe post is horribly uncomfortable. I wore them less than an hour and my feet were rubbed raw. They are also a bit shorter than all my other Birk sandals. I pray that I can return them!

I absolutely love my Birkenstock Gizeh Birrko Flor sandals. These sandals rock! They are totally comfortable, super cute and great for summer shorts, dresses and jeans. I may buy another color just because.

I liked these Birks but really fell in live with the color at a store and came home to buy at Zappos. Its hard to tell from picture but the antique lace is slightly off white with a hint of pinky iridescence. Very pretty and feminine. As usual with Birks, they take a bit of breaking in before they feel like your foot's comfy home. I do think these take a bit of extra time because of the toe separator which can feel pretty inflexible at first. I have narrow feet and am a size 8 and these fit perfect.

When I first wore these sandals, my feet hurt really badly trying to break them in. After the next 2 times wearing them, I absolutely LOVE them now! They go with just about everything I wear and now I am ready to order more colors!

This is the 3rd pair of this style I have bought. This style of Birkenstocks is by far the most comfortable (and one of the cutest) pair of shoes I own! I would recommend these to anyone, they are well worth the money!

Runs big, I'm a 7 bought the 37, overall a great shoe. I love them. The color is not a bright red, it's more muted.

I was so sad to have to return these. They had the comfort that I was looking for from a Birkenstock shoe but the part that attaches the thong strap from the footbed to the top of the leather strap is very uncomfortably done. The hard plastic actually really hurts the top of my foot, almost pressing down on it.

I love these shoes! I am not typically a Birkenstock wearer but I saw these on someone and thought they would be a good replacement for my regular flip flops. At first they are a bit stiff but once they mold to your feet they are heaven to wear. The comfort of these sandals is beyond compare. And, of all the Birkenstock styles, these are the only ones I would wear. Perfect for a summer day at the park or even walking around the city for hours. My only complaint is that I noticed a small crack in the cork is forming and I have had them just under a year. I would expect these to last for many years but it doesn't look this pair will.

This is the most comfortable sandal I have ever worn. I love it. My first pair lasted through three long summers of constant wear. The titanium color is difficult to see clearly on the screen. It has a definite greenish tint in some lights. I am fussy about fit. I usually take a 6.5, regular width. My Birkenstocks are a 36 in the "regular" width (which is wide), and fit perfectly.

I normally wear a size 6US and I got the 37 based on the size chart - there is a full inch of space at the back of the heel. I'm returning and will try the 36.

These sandals are my favorite! I got the golden brown color and it goes with everything, the first few days they were a little uncomfortable but I wore them around the house and now a few weeks later they are perfect, I was a little concerned about the size because I always wear a 5 1/2 and have narrow feet, according to zappos that would be a size 36 but after I read the reviews I ordered one size smaller so the size 35 fits perfectly fine. I've had no problem with the plastic thong and no blisters. My only problem was that ups delivered my package to the wrong house 3 houses away but luckily my neighbor called me and gave it to me. Overall great experience with zappos.

So comfortable and cute. They do take a bit to break in. I ordered them a size up after reading other reviews. (I normally wear a 7.5 to 8 and ordered a 39.) They were huge and I quickly ordered a 38 and they are perfect. the free shipping option is so speedy, I received them within 3 days. Love 'em!

I love these shoes! They do take some time for be to break in, like my other Birkenstock sandals each sumner, but once I get used to them they make such a difference. I have moderate back pain when on my feet or walking for more than five hours in the day, but these will allow me to keep going up to seven hours without noticing much pain. They are great for traveling. Although they are slightly bulky, I have found that they can easily pair with more casual dresses/skirts in the summer, especially maxi dresses without looking too awful. I would size down though. I normally wear a 9½ and have wider feet. I ordered a 39 (what they say is a 8-8½) in the regular width.

I have super wide feet, but loved these shoes. They were ok but only for short amounts of time the first 4 or 5 times I wore them, and then they really conformed to my feet. They're now super comfortable. The only thing I don't care for is that the toe strap is hard plastic. Once my feet remembered how flip flops fit it was ok, but occasionally walking downhill it's a bit painful. No blisters yet!

I bought these to replace a pair I had that were lost by the airlines. I love them! The color is a pearlescent cream and goes with everything. I wear a 9 1/2 and purchased this in a size 40. They fit perfectly and didn't need any break in time. Maybe because my feet are used to wearing this brand. They have great arch support and help a lot with my plantar fascilitis.

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I love these shoes. My feet were hurting walking barefoot on a tile floor all day, and these definitely fixed the problem! They are also super comfortable. They are not too cute, but I do wear them with sun dresses to the store and such.

I love Birkenstocks! I realize they are not for everyone, but I have been wearing them since high school and I love them! This pair was very cute and exactly what I wanted. Please do yourself a favor and break them in before going on any long walks. They need to mold to your feet first. Thank you Birkenstock and Zappos!
