I love the look of these and purchased them to replace a pair over twenty years old. I do find the piece between the toe very uncomfortable and I am someone who does wear flip flops with this piece often. They're great looking, but I wish I'd stayed with the more traditional, less attractive pair!

Amazing Zappos customer service. I bought a pair of these and after a month, some of the cork started to break apart. Called, and they sent out a new pair, and didn't even make me return the damaged ones! That is remarkable service. Thank you Zappos! And, these are amazing sandals. Cute and comfy, and I am someone with lots of feet issues!

Wow! Tried them on and have yet to take them off. Very comfortable. I read some other reviews and people seemed to have a problem with the plastic toe part, I do not see why. I wear flip flops everyday and barley notice it. Would definitely recommend these!

Perfect shoe. nice color. Only give it three stars for style because, let's face it, Birks are not for style. I always buy a size smaller than my foot. They seem to run big.

These shoes are wonderful. I have a pair from Germany that was a gift and they are 12 years old. I hope I have these for 12 years. They are so comfortable, I have been wearing them all over the house tonight. They look a lot nicer than my old Arizona style ones. I have a pair that is similar to these I think they are called Kairo? I am going to order another pair. I wish I could wear them to work!

I am very pleased with my order. It shipped a couple days early, which is a bonus! I will definitely order from Zappos again.

I've been buying Berkenstock sandals and shoes for years. This was my first experience with Zappos. The price was right (I shopped around), the product was perfect, and the delivery was earlier than promised. Everything I've heard about Zappos is correct. Great service. Now I never have to go into a shoe store again.

Very cute and very comfortable shoes. I was really excited when I found out that some styles come in size 35 (also marked as 4-4.5). However, when I tried them on they felt more like 6-6.5. I'm really disappointed that I have to send them back.

I am abou to order my third pair of silver. I wear them out! I need a full size larger than my shoe size. The plastic toe separator is great. I hardly know it is there and it does not irritate my toes. I usually don't like the look of this type of shoe; however, this is the exception.

The ones with the bumps on the sole.

Love these Birkenstock sandals! I ordered mine in Toffee in my regular size, and they fit perfectly. I have wider feet, and these gave me the right amount of room. The adjustable straps ensure that they stay on your feet without the "flip-flop" sound. My only regret is not ordering them at the beginning of summer!

These are fantastic! While they do take a little breaking in, these sandals are comfy and provide excellent arch support - just don't wear them for too long at any given time when you first get them - or your arches will get rubbed raw. I'm a somewhat narrow size 8.5 and ordered down to an 8 - they fit perfectly.

I really struggled whether to buy Birkenstocks because I've not always been a fan of the traditional style but I have to stay I love the new styles and these are amazing! I bought them in the silver color and they go with everything and gives great support. I followed what everyone else said and ordered a size down...perfect!

I heard the rumors that these shoes were amazing and it is true. Perfect for NYC's walking lifestyle. They take a couple of days to break in (ie. have a change of shoes the first few times you wear them). But I love them and wear them almost every day.

I love these! Just like Birks I've owned in the past, they take a good week or so to break in. Worth it! Love this style and the Titanium color. I'd suggest getting measured in person at 2 or more stores.

I hate these shoes! Every hipster I know seems to own a pair of these and although I was initially put off by their appearance (not my style), I gave in because of how comfy they were supposed to be. I bought the golden toned ones to add a little bit of style. When I got them I wasn't too impressed by their looks in person, but I did like the gold color and wanted to give them a try. They are the most uncomfortable shoes I own! The sole is so hard and the ridges by the front are so inflexible. After wearing them for weeks, trying to break them in, I've developed a big blister under my big toe that aches every time I put these on. In addition, my feet look like boats in these! I wear a 10, but manage to not look like big foot because my foot is pretty slim. However, the hard inflexible sole makes my foot bed 'quish' and adjust to it, creating this awful foot-widening effect. I hate them and will be giving them away to a brave friend who is willing to give them a go.

You can always count on quality and comfort once you get used to wearing Birkenstocks. I have unattractive toes - these shoes seem to detract from that but they are still stylish. This is my 6th pair of Birkenstocks - the others have lasted for years.

Excellent comfort shoe! After wearing through the soles of several pairs of cheap slip-on sneakers walking across Manhattan, I checked out the Gizeh as a good everyday shoe. I needed something comfortable for walking long distances but casual-looking (I reserve my running shoes for the gym). They didn't hurt at all when I tried them the first day, so I (stupidly) walked about 3 miles without bringing an extra pair of shoes. The result: blisters everywhere! My arches, my heels, in between my toes, the sides of my foot. Once I let those heel, I kept wearing them and breaking them in (this time protected by moleskin- buy moleskin, it is so useful with these) and now they are amazingly comfortable. I wear them everywhere. Buy a size down. I'm usually a 9-9.5 (sometimes even a 10, but usually 9 for dress shoes and 9.5 for everything else), and the 39 fits perfect. I was a bit concerned because my toe on my left foot hit the edge, but they fit based on where my foot gripped the ridges/arch support.

I may never take these off! Comfy, and pretty, at least as much as Birkis can be. The fit and style are just what i was looking for. Perfect!

Took a day or so to break in but worth it. Once you break them in and get comfortable with the plastic toe piece, these are very comfortable shoes.

My girlfriend recently got these shoes. They are so comfortable on her feet that she hasn't yelled at me in weeks and is way less crabby. Best investment I could have made. Comfy shoes makes everyone's life better.

Stylish, comfortable on my fussy feet -- what's not to like! This purchase was a replacement for a very old pair of black patent Gizehs (sole was fine but patent was looking worn, still using for runarounds). I have other Gizehs, too -- my fave summer sandals!
