These are so comfortable! No break-in time at all. They are elegant enough for work but casual enough for the weekend.

I love these sandals. I have had a pair before in another color, so the decision to buy these was easy. They are comfortable and the color choices keep them stylish and versatile. I love the structure and foot support they offer. which is not easy to find in a sandal. Zappos shipped them to me in time for an overseas trip I was making, in fact I got the shoes before I got the shipping notice- that's fast!

I bought these shoes for an upcoming trip to Europe where I will be walking around quite a bit. I wanted something comfortable with a little bit of style as well. These are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

I am so pleased with my Birkenstock sandals that I have ordered 4 pair. I love them. I was very pleased with the fast service I got. I placed my order and in a couple of days had my sandals to wear. Keep up the great customer service.

The Gizeh is my favorite Birkenstock sandal. They look great with everything and there is no break-in needed. I have 3 pairs and I'll add more next summer.

I have worn Birkenstock for the last 25-30 years, will not wear any others, once you do, you won't go back to others. The comfort is there, the stylish look for sandals, the right arch and comfort for your feet.

I love Birkenstocks but most of them are too graceless for work. Not these -- they actually manage to look stylish and dressy. I was worried that the toe-thong would be uncomfortable, but it isn't; the sandal is mostly held in place by the straps, so there's little pressure from the thong. Typical Birkenstock sizing, fit, and support, which work for me with my wide feet. I will probably get a second pair in a more neutral color -- I got the purple Birko-Flor. By the way, the Birko-Flor is quite comfortable and doesn't look cheap, although it's obviously synthetic. So a good purchase all around.

Due to a diagnosis of "arthritis of the big toe joint" I've been on the search for shoes that relieve that pain. The Gizeh is perfect...fashionable enough to not feel embarrassed by the need for sensible shoe. Lots of fun colors to collect. Reasonable pricing...and of course, Zappos excellent service/support! I ordered my regular size...in the medium width (not the narrow one). They have adjustable strap too...so the fit was good right out of the box. Hope to find as good a shoe for the winter!

I love the shoes and the color! I ordered 1/2 size smaller and they fit perfect. The toe strap is very comfortable. The only thing I noticed 'after' walking in them is that they don't have that extra cushion layer between the cork and the tread that some of the styles have. So they have a very 'hard' feel. That would have made the difference between 4 or 5 stars. But I still love them...the color was worth it!

I really wanted to keep these but the toe separation really hurts! Sadly I had to return and I'm trying another style.

I'll admit, I've been teasing my husband about his Birks for years. When I saw my daughter in these I was really surprised at how stylish they looked. They are pretty and comfortable. The color (Graceful Rosa) is a pearlized baby pink. I wear a size 7.5 and original ordered a size 38; too long; had to return for a 37. These are perfect and the return was pain free with lightning fast replacement. Thanks Zappos!

Not usually a fan of sandals with a thingie between my toes, but I just love these shoes! I wore these everyday in Hawaii for a 2 week vacation and they were perfect, casual yet cute and they worked well with shorts and dresses. I love the silver color and get compliments every time I wear them. I wear them to work and on weekends and after owning them for 7 months I can say they hold up very well. Just know that the 1st few times you wear them that you are adapting to the fit, after that they will be your go to sandals!

Another win from Birkenstock! Just got them today after ordering yesterday morning...love Zappos-VIP. Birks sizing is weird, but the 36 in sandals are perfect, as I am a 7 to 7.5 regular shoe, 37 in Birk clogs, though. Hopefully this pair will finally complete my collection...for this summer anyway!

I've owned many pairs of Birkenstocks, and I love them. I can walk for miles in them, and they seem to keep my plantar fasciitis at bay. As for the plastic toe piece -- it does not bother me one bit. As for the color: onyx is gorgeous - very true to the photos Zappos provides. I was worried they'd be too black, but they are really more like a metallic charcoal with a hint of blue, aka "gunmetal grey". Sizing: I marked "felt wider than marked" because I have wide feet and feel that the regular footbeds fit me just perfectly.

Awesome sandals and cute too. The hard plastic piece between the toes takes a little breaking in, but otherwise, great shoe!

This is the perfect classy sandal. I haven't taken them off since they came out of the box. They fit beautifully and the silver color is bright and pretty. I will likely buy another pair in a different color soon. They look great with skirts and jeans.

I wear a size 8 but order a size 38 in Birkenstock. I love them. I have flat feet and problems with the bones in my feet hurting, but with Birkenstocks, I feel very comfortable even standing for a long period of time. I especially like the Gizeh Birko-Flor. Love the various colors. Would love to have a sport shoe with the Birkenstock insole.

I am so bummed! I love these sandals, especially in the dark blue. Unfortunately, I didn't like the style of the toe area. The leather is too wide and hangs over my two toes. It looked funny, felt weird, and was uncomfortable. I was hoping it would be a narrower strap towards the toe area. The shoe was also just a tad narrow for me, but not enough to bother me. It gives as you break them in. I wear a size 38 (7.5-8) in Birkenstocks. Otherwise the shoes were as wonderful as any other Birkenstock I've tried.

I was very pleased with the Gizeh Birki-Flor! This style is super comfortable and with the adjustable strap, allows for a nice fit. I usually wear size 36 in the Arizona, but I had to order one size down for this style. I highly recommend the Gizeh for anyone wanting a super comfy super cute sandal with great arch support! I only wish that Gizeh leather style would be available in size 35. It looks like Birkenstock sizing for leather in Gizeh starts at size 36.

I was not particularly drawn to the look. I wanted these shoes for the comfort factor. The rubber that goes between your toes hurts at first, but I guess you have to break them in. A lot of reviews said these are perfect for walking, and for being on your feet, but after wearing these for a couple of hours, I did not see much of a difference. My feet, legs and back still hurt the same. Still, they are way more comfortable than regular flip-flops, but I am not sure it was worth the price.
