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

I could see how these would be very comfortable and I desperately wanted to like them. However, I have a pretty bad bunion on my right foot and it hung over the edge of the sandal. Because of the stiffness of the sole, I could tell that walking for long periods of time would have irritated the bottom of my foot where it hung over the foot bed. Any person with a wide foot that doesn't have a bunion would probably be okay with them.

The toe thing is just too large. Very odd fit by completely covered just the big toe. Shoe was otherwise was comfortable and well made. Sadly had to return them over the odd fit.

Unfortunately had to return because it was not the fit I was looking for

Ouch!! That piece between your toes hurts! These are maybe the 3rd Gizeh-style Birks I've purchased. They all take a little bit of time to form to your foot, so that's what I thought I was feeling with this new pair. Nope, the toe thingy on this is this stiff-ish piece of plastic that just will not give. I've had thong sandals my whole life and never had an issue like this. I sure hope they do eventually break in. ?

Pretty shoe and fits similar to other Gizeh shoes that I own. Disappointed in the quality. The toe spacer is a hard plastic and very uncomfortable.

The toe piece was too tight. Very uncomfortable but nice sandal.

Way too narrow

I ordered my regular size and these were huge. Also the ridge for your toes to grip I guess, was very hard. Return

I ordered my regular size and they were way too big.

I ordered my regular size 7 and there was almost a full inch past my heel. Also the toe ridges were painful. So disappointing.

The shoe would be perfect if the toe strap (the part that goes between the big and 2nd toe) wasn't so large and stiff.

These shoes are not comfortable. I am not fond of these shoes but I kept them thinking I could make them work. Kind of bummed though but I figured they would work. I ordered a size up from my other pair after my foot grew. But it did not work.

Have had these in different colors, but this one, Mocha Birkibuc, looked cheap to me.

Material has changed and width seems narrower.

Too narrow and new top material...not sure about that.

These sandals are (simply put) the best. However, will be returning them since they were meant to be a gift, and did not arrive in a shoe box. They were wrapped in a clear plastic bag, and stuffed into the traditional white plastic mailing bag. No protective box, nor the usual expected brochure assuring the quality and craftsmanship behind the product. Unfortunately, will be returning this particular pair for this reason.

Felt true to size. Not the most comfortable Birkenstock.

I would have kept these shoes however the left shoes squeaks when I walk.

The giant piece between the toe is not comfortable for me

I’m really disappointed this is the second pair of Birkenstocks I got that are not made like they used to be. I tried to keep the bigger one but my heel is killing me on my left foot and they don’t feel right. Since I’ve worn them I don’t think I can return them I guess I would love if you would send me a 37 since the 38 is too bigI’Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

These are supposed to have more cushion "Birko-Flor" than others, but there is no difference.

I really love these shoes. The fit is great. However, the quality is not quite up to the brand’s par. The soles wore down to the cork after wearing them for about a month or so. I’ve been buying Birkenstocks for nearly 30 years and I’ve never had this problem. Zappos customer service was great about the issue, though.

I typically wear a 7 or 7 1/2 but I ordered a 37 and they fit. I ordered a 38 in another style of Birkenstocks and they were slightly big. While I like the look of this shoe, I'm not a fan of it from a comfort perspective. I didn't realize that the thong is actually plastic and it's very uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I wore them thinking they would become more comfortable, which they have not, so now they sit in my closet.

I was excited to received this but it’s full size bigger. Im waiting for the replacement and will update my review
