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

I got tired of wearing uncomfortable sandals in the summer, as living in New York requires a lot of walking on concrete. Although these aren't the most stylish shoes I've ever owned, I still wear them in the daytime in Manhattan without feeling uncool. They are, hands down, the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, including Crocs. I bought the Antique Lace, which goes with everything and looks much nicer than it does in the pictures. It's slightly shiny/iridescent with a pinkish hue. I'm an 8/8.5 and the 39 was perfect.

I ordered Sangria- which is a little more magenta than cherry red. No mistake of Birkenstock or Zappos - I just wanted a brighter red, so will be returning them.

Based on the image I expected these to be silver. They are actually very pale green.

Hard plastic thong between the toes make this shoe very uncomfortable. And they take forever to break-in. Buy Mephistos instead.

First - I was so pleased I could get these shoes in narrow. The narrow shoe in combination with the fact that I can tighten the buckle makes for a perfect fit. When I bought this shoe, I made the commitment to work them in because everyone says that you have to and they were uncomfortable the first 4 or so times I wore them, but I think - a few blisters later - that I've got it worked out and I really feel like they've formed to my foot. I'm very pleased. Let's face it - they're kind of granola looking shoes, but I still think they're cute - love the silvery blue color.

I have always loved my Birkenstocks and these were no different. Yes, you have to get used to the plastic thong and yes I got blisters. But once you break them in, they are fabulous. Wish I had a pair in every color.

Overall a good sandal. I've walked miles in them with only a little discomfort around the toe. I do find that my ankles hurt after wearing these for 6+ hours on consecutive days and walking a lot. I like that they have more support than most sandals but probably not your best walking sandal.

These sandals are super adorable and very comfortable! If you adjust the strap correctly, the piece between your toes does not rub at all, and they feel super good on feet with high arches. The bright red color is awesome! I put them on and my husband said, "Sexy!" They really are! I have owned lots and lots of Birks, and these are just another great pair that I will wear until they die.

These sandals are amazing. I've had them for about 3 weeks now and I'd be willing to bet there have been less than 5 days when I haven't worn them. Great footwear!

These shoes are AWESOME! At first they are kind of hard but keep wearing them and they will soften up! Once you wear these you will never want to wear flats again! Lol.

My doctor informed me that my arches are falling and I need arch suppert. I highly recommend these for comfort, looks and arch support.

These shoes are amazing! They fit perfectly and are so comfortable. The toe thing is a non-issue and I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Never thought in a million years I would wear Birkenstocks. Have to say, they have really grown on me and I wear them all the time! Super comfy.

I love these shoes. Birkenstock Gizeh are soooo comfortable! Great walking around town shoe!

I was super happy with my purchase. This was the first time I have ever used Zappos and it was great. I got the shoes I wanted at a great price and they came very quickly. I have worn Birkenstock sandals before and I have been looking for this style for a while. I had to give up and go to the internet, so I was thrilled to find them at Zappos. They are great shoes but they do not look too laid back, I even wear them to church. I am wearing them now and they look awesome with my freshly manicured toes! Thanks, Zappos!

As with all Birki's, I can literally walk forever with no discomfort. This lavender has a bit of metallic glow to it. Beware, as others have noticed, seem to run half size or so large, so if in doubt, order smaller. Zappos service/speed fantastic.

Love these! So comfortable and pretty chic looking, all things considered. I would only caution to order a size below what Zappos recommends if you don't know your sizing using European numbers - I'm just about a perfect size 8 and I got a 38, which Zappos says is for 7-7.5. They fit me perfectly.

I love these sandals! I have them in black leather and patent, red patent, rawhide, white, and navy. I put them on, and off I went. I never had any discomfort. I received lots of compliments.

I love these shoes! I am planning on ordering another pair in a different color. These shoes are so cute and I get compliments on them all the time. They are so incredibly comfortable that I want to wear them everyday! They did take a few wears to break in so don't wear them on a long day of walking before you break them in. These shoes have great support.

I bought these shoes for my daughter and she loves them. She already had a pair in a different color but was so pleased with them she asked for another pair.

I haven't worn Birkenstock's for many years, but always loved them when I did. Needing a replacement for my everyday sandals, I found these. When I found out I could get them in silver, I was sold. True to every Birkenstock I've owned, they didn't need any breaking in and have stood up well. The silver is fantastic. My son calls them my robot shoes.

This was my second pair of Gizehs as my pair from 2009 are finally showing wear. I love them, fun color but still neutral as they are more of a navy then a royal blue! I am a 7.5 and the 38 in Birkenstocks fit great!

I have a young friend in her 20's who was having foot and back problems after a fractured ankle from a roller derby accident. I recommended these and bought them for her. She had never owned a pair of Birkenstocks before. She told me they have done wonders for her back and feet and gets compliments on them all the time. She emailed me a picture of her feet with these (pink) with pink toenail polish and thanked me for them.

I love my new Birkenstocks. I've received multiple compliments when I wear them. I bought dress blues patent in size 38 regular width. I've been wearing a pair of Mayari style for a few years now in size 39. The 39 in the Gizeh were too big (the foot bed was too big). I typically wear a size 7.5 shoe and size up to an 8 if the shoe is only available in whole sizes. I've worn my new Gizehs for a month now and they are very comfortable, lightweight and durable. I highly recommend.

Perfect color and perfect fit - what else could you ask for, I'm happy with these sandals always.
