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

Cute, but hard to break in - I haven't worn these shoes enough to know if they're going to break in well, but after a couple of days of wear, my (admittedly very, very sensitive feet) are extremely sore on the soles -- so sore that it hurts to stand barefoot. They're really cute, so I hope they work out.

Gizeh's great! I recently purchased the Gizeh in a bright blue color. They will look great with my summer outfits. I've only worn them a few times, but they are really comfortable. I have no arch so the extra support really helps. I have small feet and wear a 5 - 5 1/2. The 35 narrow size fits perfectly. I have 3 pairs of Birkenstocks and will continue to buy more because of the comfort.

Why the plastic thong? I like the birkenstock footbed, but found the hard plastic "thong" uncomfortable. Mephisto uses leather, not hard plastic, I can't understand why the birks folks don't do the same.
