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

I have other pairs of Birkenstocks and wanted something a little dressier. I also need the narrow fit. These came exactly as advertised and I was able to get them on sale. They look good, feel good and fit great.

Wife loves them!

So I normally wear a 6. The 37 was far too big. The 36 is a tad big, but fit 90% well in length when I tighten the straps. I've had Birks before, and I love them and have wanted this style for some time. I like the black patent upper and love the plain leather footbed . (I really prefer sandals that don't have a black foot unless they are non-staining EVA or the like.) They normally last a good long time so they are worth the expense. I haven't yet 100% decided if I am keeping these 36 Regular or maybe also trying the 36 Narrow and the 35. My one concern is that if the straps loosen, the shoes might feel too big. If your feet are on the wider side, choose the Regular width; if they are on the narrow side, try out the Narrow option. I will update if I end up trying out the others and especially if I change.

The candles fit perfect. However I have to break them in. The thong is very irritating.

I wear an 8/8.5 usually, but always order down a size in these Birks. The first pair I received were defective and customer service was exellent.

Love the style of these!

The size was perfect - the fit was not great

The shoes fit great and are not uncomfortable except for the huge strap that covers my big and next toe almost completely. They push my toe ring off and the overall "look" of the shoe is not great. I've always loved Birkenstocks but these are not my favorite. You can't just slip them on because the strap is so wide. I bought them for this past weekend and wore them, just because my others had been chewed up by a dog. But if I had the time I would've definitely sent them back.

No problems with anything. Felt perfect the minute I put them on.

I have had several pairs of the Gizeh. Birkenstocks are definitely a "health shoe" and therefor has the clunky look. Any time the toe box is wide, you're going to get a funny looking shoe. But the Gizeh pulls it off. I am a 6.5 in most dress shoes (usually a 7 in tennis shoes.) I wear a 36 narrow in Birkenstocks. If you have them on, and you squat down, it will bend at the narrowest part of the sole. You will see photos of the cork beds cracking. This happens over time. I had a pair I loved and they were worn out terribly. You can take them to a Birkenstock store and have a new footbed put on and viola....a brand new shoe. Some colors (say black) are always in stock, so if worn out, I might toss them, but I have a pair of linen ones (that go with everything) and I will continue to put new soles on them when they wear out. I bought them in 1992, and they have been resoled twice, and look brand new.

nice shoe but runs short I am a 11 and it is a little short.

Great sandal with great support!

One of my favorite style of Birkenstock. Love the Silver, goes with anything.

Sadly, I had to return the first pair. There was a flaw in the toe box that was quite noticeable….happy to say, the replacement pair was perfect! These sandals are so comfortable and look a bit more feminine then the two strap style. Shoe size is a 10/11 and the 41 fit great!

Love these sandals! This is my 7th pair of Birks but my first pair of Gizehs. I didn’t think they would look good on my foot but I love them. Also my first pair of non-leather but I think they are going to work out great. Highly recommend!

Fantastic shoe. Comfort the minute I stepped into them and the style is lovely too!

The perfect sandal. Lasts a lifetime.

Go with everything- shorts skirts and pants. Love the silver color

Love them! I wear a 10.5 and the 41 was perfect for me

Perfect

I really wanted to love these Gizeh’s, my first Birkenstocks. But I guess I don’t have the patience needed to adjust to the toe grip. My granddaughters and daughter in law swear by them. I guess grandma will need to look elsewhere. The shoe is very cute on the foot and if you don’t mind the toe grip go for them..

Favorite summer go to shoe for the pool & beach. Like that the strap is adjustable for my narrow feet. Of all the Birkenstock styles, this one is very flattering, not too wide & chunky looking.

This is a nice sandal for summer. SO comfortable and I love the slight sheen to the leather

Love this shoe - I have this style in many colors. This color is unusual. It's not green and it's not gold. It's a greenish gold. Love it!

I've been wearing these for years. I have them in different colors and they are more comfortable than sneakers. I can walk for miles in them.
