The best shoes ever! I bought two pairs in different colors because that is all I wear living in Florida! My feet are so happy!

Comfy. The toe thing takes a little getting used to, but no soreness. I've worn Birkies for years so break-in was minimal. Allow time to get used to Birkies if this is your first pair.

Love, love, love! These are my first Birks and it took me three tries to find the right size/style combo, but it was worth the trial-and-error. They are so comfortable and supportive that I can wear them all day. They stay snugly on my feet without flip-flopping. The arch support is just right. I first ordered a size down, based on the recommendations of some reviewers, but they were too short and made my toes bump into the ridge around the edge of the shoe. I recommend going with your usual size.

I have about 12 pairs of the Gizehs in most of the fun and practical colors and I absolutely love them! They go with everything and are nicer to wear than just Havaianas, which are my other favorite. The thong between your toes is comfortable and the shoes fit great. Just wear them for a few days and you will be used to them and will never wear anything else!

These are good sandals. Yes, the plastic piece between the toes hurts a bit to begin with, but your feet acclimate quickly and you do not even notice it. If you are replacing a worn out pair, like I was, your feet barely even register the difference. I must disagree with those who say that Birkenstocks last forever. Mine do not. However, these are the only shoes that I wear and I get about two years out of a pair.

I have been a lover of, and a wearer of, Birkenstocks for years. This pair of Gizeh sandals are phenomenal and do not disappoint. Immediately my foot sank into the grooves and I was in comfort! I want some in more colors! Birkenstocks last forever!

I've worn the Gizeh style for about seven years now and have several pairs. I have a high arch and heel spurs and find that, when I wear my Gizeh's, I have no heel pain at all. I have a narrow foot and the adjustable strap offers a perfect fit for me. These shoes last forever- I've just had to finally replace a pair that I have worn for six years! The leather strap still looked fantastic and the bottom wasn't even worn down yet, but the cork sole was separating from the top of the shoe.

I love these Birkenstocks! I have three pairs and they are so versatile. I wear them with dresses, skirts, shorts, pants; to work, classes and everything else. I just bought the Titanium color and I love it. I didn't want something as neutral as silver or gray and when I read a review on here that the Titanium has a hint of green in it, I knew I'd like it. On Zappos photos you can tell that there is a slight green tint to the color but on other sites, it just looks like a slightly weird silver color. I think I officially have a addiction to Birkenstocks. My next pair is going to be the Antique Lace. When I was young all I wore was those cheap Old Navy flip flops and my arch slowly collapsed. Now I have plantar fasciitis and these help tremendously well. I get better support and comfort in these than I do my expensive running shoes. I highly recommend.

Love these shoes. They are cute and comfortable - thank you Birkenstock. I have tossed all of my other (non-supportive) flip-flops - so long suckers! The toe divider takes a few wears to get used to, but it's well worth the break-in time. Size 38 is a better fit for a size 8 than a 39, which I returned for no charge - thank you Zappos - I love you as much as I love these shoes!

Love this shoe! I have plantar fasciitis and the support in Birkenstocks is unmatched. I am so excited to have a shoe I can wear all the time, with excellent support! It looks fantastic as well. I am a big flip flop fan, this shoe met my needs for the thong look with the support of a comfort sandal. Love them! Also have a pair in brown.

Ok So the first five days of wearing these - I was in pain! Breaking into leather shoes is never easy. But after five days of roughing it out, they are my favorite pair of shoes!! So easy, stylish, and comfortable. I feel like the cool kid in the room. I liked this color in particular because it matches everything I own (I wear mostly chic style clothing). Highly recommend!

These sandals are fantastic. Very comfortable and can be worn as a dressy shoe. Wore them to my son's wedding and got a ton of compliments. True to size.

I bought these sandals because they got great reviews, but I hate them! If I could return them, I would, but I've already worn them. They took forever to break in and were murderously uncomfortable in the process. They are also clunky and awkward looking. I definitely regret this purchase.

I am a flip flop girl but my aching back has required me to search for something better for my feet and back. These "Birks" are very comfortable and this style is really cute. I definitely recommend them for both style and comfort.

These sandals were comfortable right out of the box. The fit was true. They are dressy enough for special wear and also can be worn with casual clothes.

Love them. I have a pair I bought 4 years ago and they have been my go to favorite shoes ever since. This pair was a little more gold than I expected. But, I still love them and they have phenomenal arch support for my fairly flat feet.

I walk a few miles to and from school every day carrying a heavy backpack and needed some sandals with arch support. After looking through reviews, I settled on these Birkenstocks and I could not be happier! These shoes are incredibly comfortable, although they did take a few days of breaking in for me. I ordered a full size down and the shoes fit perfectly! The plastic toe separator took some getting used to, but it does not really bother me. What is even better is that I placed the order at 7:00 PM on a Thursday and received the sandals the next day! Amazing.

There is already so much said about what fantastic shoes Birkenstocks are that I will only add that these sandals have helped me immensely with one leg/foot that collapses in a bit which throws my hip out of alignment. The support that Birkenstocks offer has helped this condition and has given me the support that I need. I wore them all summer. I love them. They are comfortable, chic in silver and great for my spinal alignment. I got them in narrow and they were perfect.

This is my 6th pair or Gizeh sandals. I like the neutral tone of this one and the subtle shine is nice.

I am first time owner and am very impressed how fashionable these Birkenstocks look! As many of the other reviews, it is annoying that the the thong is made of plastic! Overall the shoes are comfortable and really look great!

These are my third pair of Gizeh Birko-Flor! They are very comfortable while providing more support than a flip-flop. They can be pretty stylish too, which I love!

I bought this shoe after seeing it everywhere on a recent trip to Europe. It is surprisingly sexy for a comfort shoe (it has a nice slim profile), and is really comfortable too. I usually can't walk long distances in a shoe without a heel strap, but this is an exception. The color is really versatile but still unique.

I've got bad knees and feet that swell easily. These are just fantastic. I can see additional pairs in my near future. Get them.

These are stylish and exceedingly comfortable after a short break in. And once broken in, the plastic central tie in the thong did not bother me at all. I had forgotten what a great fit Birkenstocks are. I wear a large size, have low arches and the toe box portion of my foot has spread with age - but not the heel, naturally. These are perfect!
