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

I ordered a size up due to some reviews saying they ran small. Had to return them and get my normal size.

I wanted to like these sandals, but I just didn't. It's possible that sizing down a size may have helped, since the strap looked funny on my toe. They also did not feel as comfortable to walk in as my old Birks were.

After having stress fractures in both feet, I am looking for sandals with great arch support. I bought 2 Birkenstock and a pair of Chaca all have great insoles, length and width in a 7 was good, but all also have very loose straps on my foot. On this particular sandal, the toe post is too far back (toward the heel) so when you buckle it is it painful, and the leather was too stiff. After this experience I don’t think Birkenstocks are for me. I’ll be sending this back. Love, love. Love Zappos - shopping experience and returns are the best.

I love the look of these shoes and was very excited to get them. Unfortunately, the right shoe is so tight on the top of my toe that it is actually bruising it every time I wear them. I was hoping I could "wear them in" but after trying for a few weeks now, I can't try anymore. Within an hour the pain just gets too intense. I have very tiny, narrow feet which is why I chose this style, so I can't imagine anyone with large feet wearing them. I am so disappointed :(

Cute! One full size too big

Way too narrow and I normally wear a narrow

I luv Birks but I just understand the toe post on this sandal, it's so hard & uncomfortable

I originally bought an 8 but needed a 7 I love Love my Birkenstock’s this is my second pair.

I actually have always worn Birkenstocks but fear that the quality may have gone downhill. I purchased a pair of Gizehs in January and another one in May, and the cork is cracking already on both pair. I think the style is sleek and attractive for a comfort shoe, though, and Zappos has, by far, the best customer service I have ever encountered.

I normally wear a size 9 and ordered accordingly. These were huge! I ended up returning them and purchasing a 38 in a local store. Takes a little while to break them in and wouldn't recommend wearing them for hours right after buying.

I REALLY wanted to like these. I tried 2 different sizes but they just are super uncomfortable. So cute but just couldn't.

The look of these shoes is great. The antique lace color is perfect if you're looking for a cuter, comfortable everyday sandal. Very neutral and slightly dressier than a brown color. The fit of these shoes apparently has to be acquired because they were not comfortable right out of the box. I'm working on "breaking. them in" as others have suggested, but I honestly wouldn't have bought them had I known it would take so much time for them to be comfortable...especially considering the price. This may change once they're broken in, but for now only 3 stars for comfort.

really like these shoes, and they are comfortable. The problem is that after just 1 year, the footbed is cracking. I think they should have lasted much longer>

I really want to love these because they are so comfortable, but I just can't get over the Flintstone look. That said, as far as Birkenstocks go, they are the cutest style ... just not for me.

The piece between the toes was very stiff and caused pain in my feet. Also footbed is very stiff. Loved these shoes and really wanted to keep them, but must return. Can't afford $100 for uncomfortable shoes. Arch support was great though and my feet did not pronate while trying them on.

online it looks like the color is just a less bright white. But in person, it has a pearly finish that I did not like. And in dark light, it looks apricot colored

Pretty underwhelming. I really wanted to love these but they seem narrower than other styles and I much prefer the softer footbed (worth the extra money if you ask me). A bit uncomfortable between the toes and seems like a place you could get a blister in warmer weather with extended use.

I absolutely love the look of these, but they were just not comfortable at all on my feet. The plastic thong was hard and uncomfortable. I'm sure if it was made out of leather or the same material as the rest of the sandal, they would have been great. I returned these and tried the Birkenstock Mayari instead. The Mayari look nice and are super comfortable. I broke them in within a day of wearing them.

I had high hopes for this sandal but unfortunately the toe post was extremely uncomfortable. It is plastic of some sort, but the problem is that is isn't round it is more blade shaped and believe me it felt like a blade between my toes. However, it did have a terrific footbed as do all Birkenstocks.

I really like the style and got the chance to purchase my first pair of Birkenstocks. However, not sure why but they're not exactly comfortable for me and I notice that I develop blisters easily in the top half of my feet. Although, if I don't wear them for too too long then it's not so bad.

Loved the color. I will be returning sandal was too large width was good. I won't be reordering because of the plastic that is used on the toe piece, very uncomfortable and cheapens the shoe

OK, so after wearing these for a week or so, I have the feeling I'm going to regret the purchase. They aren't as comfortable as I expected, but the color is cute and the style on trend. Just not convinced they were worth the sticker price, but now that I've worn them, I'm stuck.

Let me start by saying, I do love the Birkenstock brand. I'm a little confused on what to say about my black pair sizing. I returned my 1st pair due to size to big. Now I have 2nd pair and still feel they are to big. I do not want to go through another return. So I will try to hope I get use to them. I purchase a brown pair that fit like a glove.

Great style and footbed. The plastic thong between the toes is brutal. I almost sent them back after wearing them.
