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

Clearly had been worn a lot before

Very poor quality. I loved the look and style of the shoe and even ordered it in black as well! However, I have not even had these for a year and the shoe sole has a crack!! For $100 shoes, I expect them to last a little longer!!

I ordered the Gizeh Soft Footbed for $135 directly from Birkenstock online after trying them on in The Walking Company (which didn’t have my color/size). This was my first pair of Birkenstock’s, and I understand that Birkenstock’s need to be worn a certain minimum amount of time to be broken in. I wore mine around the house in small doses, to walk the dog short distances up the street and to get from car to store on a handful of occasions. My feet ached. Not the foot bed, but the top of my foot. It felt like I was straining the muscles in my foot, and after very little wear, my feet started to hurt even when I wasn’t wearing the shoes. I have friends that have serious and long term foot problems and I was petrified to ruin my feet permanently. So I called customer service and told them that the shoes were not working for me, and in fact were doing real damage to my feet, and I would like to return. They refused to take them back!! I spoke to a customer service agent and a supervisor, and they rudely and regularly recited their policy that once worn the shoes cannot be returned. How can I break them in if I don’t wear them? From prior experience, I know that if I bought them at Nordstrom or Zappos or another retail store, I would have been able to return them. Their customer service was rude, unsympathetic and unbending. I can’t believe that Birkenstock will not stand behind their product, especially after I told them that I feared that they were causing permanent damage to my feet. I will never buy another pair of their shoes for myself or any member of my family. Buyer Beware – if you are devoted to this brand, I suggest you buy them retail and not directly. Zappos customer service is amazing of course! Sadly Birkenstock shoes are not.

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.

All my daily shoes are Birkenstock. I am 85 and they are perfect for my lifestyle in Florida!

Birkenstock is always supportive and comfortable.

Love them...my go to casual footwear for summer.

These are one of my favorite pairs of shoes. I live in them all summer long. Comfortable for walking or standing.

My favorite Birkenstock is the Gizeh, but what made this even better was the gold color! I wear the shoes with casual outfits or cute daytime dresses.

The sandals fit perfectly and once they're broken in, very very comfortable. I wear a 6 or 6.5 US usually, but for Birkenstock, I buy 5-5.5 and they fit great

Love these Birkenstocks Gizeh! My third pair!!!

Can’t go wrong with this style. My third or fourth pair.

Purchased in gold. I love the color, which is hard to find. I receive compliments every time I wear them out. Perfect for relaxing at home and for going out. Easily dressed up with a maxi dress or cute shorts. A great multipurpose shoe with Birkenstock comfort.

always good in Birkenstocks

These fit as expected. I was looking to replace my blue Birks, but they are not avail. These are a nice color that go well with my South Asian feet.

Need soft footbed

Love these. Comfortable with a good arch support. I normally wear a 10 1/2 and decided to order the EU 41 - it was the right choice as they fit perfectly. They work well with everything and can easily go from the beach to dinner and look fabulous in both places. It's been a while since I owned actual Birkenstocks (I usually buy knockoffs) but getting these reminded me that the brand is worth the cost. I hope to add a couple more color options to my wardrobe!

VERY CUTE AND COMFORTABLE SANDALS

I have been wanting a pair of these sandals for a couple years. I finally purchased them for vacation! So comfortable and great fit. Only 2 days to break them in for all day wear.

These shoes fit perfectly and are so comfortable. The shimmer on the leather strap gives them a bit of flare, which I love.

I always love the Birkenstock Gizeh. The size 40 fit well for my size 9 foot. Love the silver color!
