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

Prior to developing plantar fasciitis, I vowed never to wear Birkenstocks. It's amazing how quickly I changed my mind when I realized that I had to have a properly made footbed with good support. Plus, they're not bad looking. In fact, I may order another color. And, as always, I can't say enough good things about Zappos. Zappos is the first place I go to get shoes.

Birkenstocks Gizeh is my favorite model. I like the foot bed comfort and the fact that its cork. The toe thong takes some getting used to, but in a few hours they feel like you have worn them forever. I also have fibromyalgia and some foot pains, neuroma's and arch pains that go away when wearing Birkenstock's shoes. I got my first pair of Gizeh's in Europe last summer, they were the hot item there. They were featured in all the shops and loads of women wore them, in every color one can imagine. I had a sunny pair of deep yellow that were perfect on that vacation. When I got home my new puppy chewed the buckles off. I just ordered 3 new pairs, one for house slippers for summer and the others for outer wear.

Love these shoes! Stylish and funky, not your typical Birkenstock. So versatile and comfortable! I am totally in love with them. Speedy delivery, thanks Zappos!

I love these shoes! I buy two new pairs each summer and wear them every day until finally I need to switch to UGG shoes! Can't beat them for comfort and style!

I ordered these shoes because I already have a pair like them in the genuine leather, so I thought I\'d try a pair of less expensive shoes in the same style. They\'re very comfortable and have the exact same fit as the more expensive leather ones. I received the shoes two days after ordering, and the person I spoke with on the phone could not have been nicer or more helpful. I love ordering from Zappos and will continue to do so for a long time. In fact, I think I need another pair right now!

I've loved Birkenstock clogs for a while, but I wanted a flip-flop for the summer that wouldn't kill my back... needless so say, I'm loving these shoes! I absolutely love these sandals! They are cute, comfortable, and affordable. I truly could wear them everyday and still be in love with them.

Most of my family and a few of my friends are on the Birk bandwagon, so now that I've finally caught on. I don't think I'll ever go back. These shoes are wonderful and only took a few days to break in. No more flimsy sandals for me! I know these will last far past one season and the style will outlast fashion's whims. I ordered true to size and all worked out wonderfully, although I had little to worry about since Zappos got them to me so quickly. Highly recommended!

Other than the black color being a pollen magnet, the shoes are great! Birkenstock is, hands down, the most comfortable shoe in the world. And ordering from Zappos is always a breeze. I also didn\'t find the toe strap wide, as some others have posted. If you\'re used to wearing flip flops, these shoes won\'t cause you any troubles.

I love these shoes! I bought them for commuting shoes to work (I live in DC and was tired of wearing flip flops on the metro), but have ended up wearing them every second I'm not at work. They look great, are incredibly comfortable, have excellent arch support and are reasonably stylish. They run a bit big though, so I'd order one size down.

The Gizeh is my favorite Birkenstock style. I really needed a basic black and this one is perfect. Birki’s are my favorite shoes. I'm so spoiled by wearing them I honestly can't stand to wear anything else. When I have to wear a dressy shoe with a heel they about kill my feet. I often take a pair of Birki’s with me and end up changing into them. I ordered these shoes yesterday afternoon and received them today! How is that possible?! Zappos is amazing - love you!

These shoes look fantastic. The color (red patent leather) is really rich and sophisticated. Unfortunately, I ordered them in narrow width and had to return, because it didn't fit well. Even though I always thought I have narrow feet. So I recommend to buy Birkenstocks in regular width, unless you have really really narrow feet. One more thing, is size. I recommend to get them half size smaller (their advice is opposite), but 25 for my 5.5 seemed perfect, and 36 (recommended by them) was huge!

First, placed order on the Mar 31 and received my pkg on Apr 1. I liked the free upgrade I received from Zappos! I like the fit, but the shoe is a little stiff. Good time to break them in before the summer starts.

These sandals are great! They fit well and are extremely comfortable! I will definitely be buying more Birkenstock's!

I love the comfortable sole, the look of the shoe (a more feminine style) and the metallic sheen. Finally, I thought I could follow my rheumatologist's advice and get Birks! Sadly, the toe thing is positioned too close to the top of the shoe, such that my longish toes hang over the top, whereas my heel slides too far up the shoe (making it look too small at the toes and too big at the heel). Maybe I just have weird feet? Didn't work for me. I'm bummed.

I found the sandals true to size and comfortable. They were not stiff and no breaking in was needed. Even the thong between the toe was not uncomfortable.

I love, love, love Birkenstocks. They're all I wear in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. These sandals are super sytlish and unique, and of course extremely comfortable. The first few times you wear them the straps might dig into the tops/sides of your feet a bit and be uncomfortable, but after that they're the most comfortable shoes to wear. Great arch support for a sandal. (infinitely better than flip flops or cheap mall sandals) My only complaint is that after 5-6 months of wearing them the cork is already cracking at the point where the sandal flexes and bends when you walk. (Near the mid-point of the sandal, by the ball of your foot) Overall, I love them and would recommend them.

These are the first pair of Birkenstocks for me. I have to say they are FABULOUS! The moment I slipped them on they felt so comfortable. I read most of the reviews from others before purchasing. Some had noted the toe spacer being hard to get used to. I never did have that issue. My aunt has worn this particular style for years. Her loyalty and the good reviews pushed me over the edge. I ordered true to size. I will NEVER wear anything else again!

I love these shoes! I have heel spurs and it is very painful to walk. At lest with these shoes, I can walk and maintain at work. Thank you!

Wow, ordered these the other night and literally got them the next afternoon! I am a size 11. I ordered the 42 narrows. Perfect fit, but alas, I don't like the color I picked. So bummed. Super comfy, even the thong doesn't bother, but I can't get over the brown patent. I'm returning for the black patent ASAP.
