I had surgery on my Left foot in 2009 and since then I could not ware just any shoe, and to be honest shoes good for your feet are ugly! but I got my first pair in the summer of 2010 I walked around Kings Dominion from Sun up to Sun down and my feet did not hurt I will always be a Fan of Birkenstock Gizeh just wish the price would come down but hey it's worth the price and your feet will love you. But I have to warn you, you have to Break them in to match your feet and that can hurt but once that part is over you will love love love these shoes.

I love that there are so many fashion colors! This is my fifth pair...first pair is +12 years old and been resoled. I normally wear an 8.5-9.0 but sized down and the 38 fits perfectly. I have a high arch and bunions and I can walk/work in this all day. The last on this shoes hasn't changed, and that's a good thing.

Bought these last year, so I have been wearing them for 2 summers. The "birko-flor" is uncomfortable, I would never buy them again. It's hard and inflexible, and in no way compares to the regular Birkenstocks.
Runs small, by one size.

I received these as a Mother's Day gift, and have worn them every single day for nearly a year. They are so amazingly comfortable and ideal for summer that I've become a Birkenstock convert. I can't say enough good things about these - I love them.

I bought an orange pair of these about 6 years ago in the UK. I love them. They have been to the beach, around town, to parties and around the house. Very versatile and comfortable.

These are my first pair of Birks, but know they won't be my last! I wear them practically every day now. I took the advice of others and ordered a size down. I wear a 7, ordered the size 37 and they fit perfectly. Although a little stiff at the beginning, they are extremely comfortable and supportive. Not to mention, Zappos has the best customer service and shipping! I received mine the very next day!

These sandals are very comfortable so far, although I haven't had a chance to do a lot of walking in them. I'm very glad I ordered them in Narrow width because they fit perfectly on my slim foot.

If you know anything about Birkenstock, you know exactly what to expect: rock-hard out of the box, but within a few wears perfect for your foot. I love Gizeh and have it in several colors. The color is my only complaint. The platinum has greenish tint to it. I liked the silver much better.

I just received these in the mail, & I put these bad boys on right away! They are even cuter in person and although I obviously haven't broken them in yet they already are so soft & comfy on my feet. I listened to the other reviews and ordered a size down (I wear an 8.5 and always get a 39 in Birk clogs) the 38 is perfect. Love that these are stylish and cute but most importantly comfy! I have very flat feet & had a bunionectomy about 6 years ago. I have a titanium screw in my right great toe and these don't rub there at all, fab! Hoping I can order in more colors soon.

I love these sandals! They're very comfortable and form to your feet very quickly. I definitely recommend them.

Unfortunately these were too big and I ordered the right size. I love Birkenstocks and I have not had a pair since I was in high school, but I am afraid to try ordering another pair.

Love the style and earthy blinginess with bronze tones but the hardness of toe separator absolutely excruciating for this wearer. I'm bummed but they're going back.

The Birko-flor is much softer/more comfortable than the leather Gizeh. Takes a bit of breaking in until the footbed really forms to your foot and is truly comfortable. The shoe size runs a bit big. I always wear a 9, but ordered the 39 (US Women's 8-8.5). Perfect fit.

Just got these in the mail yesterday and I think that I have already fallen in love with them! I usually wear a 9-9 1/2 so I ordered a size 40, a teeny bit too big, but I think if I would have ordered a size smaller they would've been too small. I wore them for the first time today, trying to break them in and I won't lie, they have hurt my feet. I know that Birkenstock is a great company so I know they will give me years of happiness once I break them in.

Best sandals ever! Comfortable for all day walking. The titanium has a a little hint of green color. I was surprised since I was looking for something neutral.

I've had different pairs of Birkenstocks for many years, but hadn't worn any for quite some time. Last summer I noticed several women wearing Gizehs and I thought they were stylish, so decided I would get them. They are both stylish and comfortable right out of the box. I love them. They look nice with skirts. The golden brown is a great color.

Excellent choice for narrow feet. Also, the most comfortable straps inside. Inside is soft. Sizing is one size larger than stated. Order 1 size smaller than usual.

Zappos, why are you so stinkin' awesome?! Love next day shipping. These are just as supportive and comfortable as you would expect, and more stylish than most Birks.

Oh my stars! What can I say?.... Lovely on the feet (both in feeling and in looks!) and classic Birkenstock durability. My favorite pair of sandals!

These sandals are fantastic, my feet feel completely supported. The color's exactly as it looks on the site, too, so very happy with this purchase. Have to also mention the amazing customer service rep that helped me with this order (was an exchange). I've never had service like that, where I felt I was talking to a friend. This is why I rarely buy shoes online from anywhere other than Zappos!

This is not my first pair of birks! But it's not because the other ones fell apart, I wore the others for straight summers and needed a change. Birks are the most durable sandals I've ever owned. This particular pair stood out to me because of the off white leather and bronze looking buckle in the photo online. When I got them in the mail I was 100x happier to see they had a beautiful luminescent glaze to them. Can't wait until summer!

Had these sandals previously and just wore them out! Comfortable and true to size. I have a wide foot and these fit great!

This is my second pair of Gizehs -- my first was bought in 2001 and I wore them out! I have wide feet and short toes, normally wear a 7-1/2 or 8 but they ran almost an inch long in the heel so ordered one size smaller and they were a perfect fit. If you're not used to wearing thongs it will take a few days to get used to. After that, they're perfect. Feel great, the adjustible snug fit keeps them from making that flop sound and they stay on even when doing a high kick!

Super comfortable and stylish. I'm here to buy a replacement pair since I loved my first ones so much. They lasted 4+ years and still have some life! These sandals have great arch support and cradle the foot nicely, so you can walk miles in them. They go with everything and look great!

I'm still not sure about these sandals. I wore it for a week on vacation. And, it was kind of painful. I knew previous reviewers say that it will take some time. I love how they look though! Overall, I'm not sure if I recommend them.
