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

Ouch - not comfy

This shoe was not comfortable in between my toes as the material is not leather.

I had to return these due to a defect. There was a spiky rough patch of glue on the underside of the leather. Ouch!

Upon arrival the sandals had scuff marks on the leather that was a little too deep for me to ignore. Also, the size was a little too big to start with. I felt that after wearing them for any length of time the sandal would stretch out too much and my foot would end up sliding back and forth as I walked.

Shoe runs very wide. The leather is lacked and doesn't seem to offer much support.

I have heard great things about Birkenstock sandals. However, I was not a fan. They felt too loose and very uncomfortable in the toe area.

Much more narrow than the Mayari (which I’ve been wearing almost daily for 2 years). Ok, so they don’t fit my wide feet - that’s fair, they’re not marked as wide. BUT - the thong on these is a hard plastic. Ouch! I just can’t see how that was going to feel more comfortable over time. It seems like a very strange design choice.

Too hard, flat and my toes hurt a lot with the middle toe thong. My sister has these and lives in them but for some reason I cannot. They are a tried and true sandal. Lots of people love them though. I wish I could be one of them.

The seams on these shoes are coming undone after about a month. Quality isn’t good. I’m sending back hopefully Zappos honors the return.

it hurts my toes

Like the style, but the attachment between the upper and the toe strap broke before I'd even left the house. Painless return process, but reconsidering whether I want to purchase the style again or a more traditional Birk.

THe cork part of the shoe was comfy but the piece in between my toes was super painful. They also felt a bit narrow.

This design is definitely made for wide feet. Even buckling the sandal on its last hole leaves tons of room between the leather and the top of my foot; what's more, the toe piece then pulls to the side, bends.

These were very uncomfortable and way more narrow than I expected. I wear a normal to wide width and my foot didn't fit in the sides. I also found that the ridge under my toes was incredibly uncomfortable. Not even close to a wearable shoe.

I have owned this exact style, purchasing a new pair every other year, since 2005. This is the FIRST time I have ever gotten a horrible blister from the painful rub between my toes. The brand had to have changed manufacturers or something. And I’m so sad…

I ordered the narrow; however, the shoes was far from being narrow.

Absolutely loved these flip flops. So comfortable and forms well to my foot. Only complaint is after wearing them for two days the piece between the toe came off. So angry!!!

These are narrow in the sole but not narrow enough in the strap/buckle

I purchased these Birkenstocks two years ago. The cork footbed is cracked on both shoes. This week the sole detached 2/3 of the way on one shoe and 1/4 on the other. I’m disappointed in what I considered a reliable brand.

I was really looking forward to these as a more stylish alternative to my Arizonas. The leather color was great, but the sizing was way off. While the 39s fit perfectly in the Arizona style, I had more than a finger-and-a-half of excess length in these. They flopped around on my feet like boats, and the thong rubbed the bones of my toes in a really painful way. I'm on the fence about trying a smaller size, given how uncomfortable the thong was. In any case, I recommend going at least one size down.

I don't understand why this is too wide. I have ordered the exact same shoe previously and it fit fine. Something went wrong with this one....way too wide, even tho its marked narrow.

Was so excited about my first pair of Birkenstock. I have worn them several times but the thong causes pain. I can't tolerate the thong. So disappointed!

Disappointed - I have these in black and love them, despite the cracks they developed in the cork at the balls of my feet. These new ones started squeaking horribly after about 3 weeks of wearing them, and they are driving me crazy. I feel like I wasted a bunch of money... boo.

Didn't fit well. Space between top of my foot and the sandle straps was too much for them to stay secure. The thong material was too hard for me as well and I tried them around the house for several days.

These are not comfortable at all. These are a M width and my foot is a M width but this sandal fits like a Narrow. It felt like it was squeezing the sides of my feet with the edges of the footbeds. Also, they seem a little long for a 9-9.5 range. I only wore them around the house for 2 mins and decided to return them. Weird fit for sure! Do not recommend
