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

I wear a true 7.5 shoe size and I ordered the ONYX in size 38 Narrow and they fit perfect, just like my Birkenstock clogs. These took a few weeks to soften up unlike my Bern Soft Footbed clogs I own (which have a foam layer inserted between the cork layer), which were comfy after 5 minutes. But these didn't hurt to wear or break in. They'll be stiff and therefore the toe divider will be slightly uncomfortable but once the footbed softens up -- your heels will sink in, the toe box softens and everything comfortably flexes with your walk. They'll be the most comfortable shoes your feet have ever experienced! They just take time to soften up, all Birkenstock's do. Google Birkenstocks heel and toe placement to get an idea of how your foot should fit inside Birkenstocks, and to learn which width is right for you. For example: Narrow feet are often the same width up and down the length of the foot. Narrow feet are also narrow across the toes and across the instep (the top of your foot, where shoe laces tie together). Find the right size for you and Birkenstocks will not disappoint!

I bought an orange pair of these about 6 years ago in the UK. I love them. They have been to the beach, around town, to parties and around the house. Very versatile and comfortable.

These are my first pair of Birks, but know they won't be my last! I wear them practically every day now. I took the advice of others and ordered a size down. I wear a 7, ordered the size 37 and they fit perfectly. Although a little stiff at the beginning, they are extremely comfortable and supportive. Not to mention, Zappos has the best customer service and shipping! I received mine the very next day!

These sandals are very comfortable so far, although I haven't had a chance to do a lot of walking in them. I'm very glad I ordered them in Narrow width because they fit perfectly on my slim foot.

I love these sandals! They're very comfortable and form to your feet very quickly. I definitely recommend them.

Excellent choice for narrow feet. Also, the most comfortable straps inside. Inside is soft. Sizing is one size larger than stated. Order 1 size smaller than usual.

Oh my stars! What can I say?.... Lovely on the feet (both in feeling and in looks!) and classic Birkenstock durability. My favorite pair of sandals!

These sandals are fantastic, my feet feel completely supported. The color's exactly as it looks on the site, too, so very happy with this purchase. Have to also mention the amazing customer service rep that helped me with this order (was an exchange). I've never had service like that, where I felt I was talking to a friend. This is why I rarely buy shoes online from anywhere other than Zappos!

I love these in silver. Always thought Birkenstock sandals would be too wide for my very narrow feet, but these were perfect! If you have narrow feet, buy these, but save me a pair in copper! As usual great service from Zappos!

I have five pairs of these in different colors, have worn them for years. I wear them in winter sometimes with socks and summer. People compliment me on them and can't believe that they are Birkenstocks.

I read a bunch of reviews and finally picked size 37. I am 7½-8. Everything fit perfectly... except for my long toe. The sandals are sunken in and my toe constantly hits the ridge by the toeline. I returned these and since they did not have a 38 in black had to upgrade to the leather Gizeh Sandals. Even though I returned these I am still giving them five stars. They are very comfortable!

Ahh the comfort of a Birkenstock footbed, but the look of a pretty modern sandal. Even my teenage daughter wears these. Cuter than they look in the picture. So comfortable.

These sandals are wonderful. Very comfy with great support for a thong type sandal. Stylish too. As always, Zappos customer service people are phenomenal... many thanks!

I get these exact same shoes (in different colors) every couple of years. I love them. There's never any pain and I can walk and walk for hours in them.

Love them! I usually wear a 7 or 7 1/2, but found I needed a 37 not a 38 in these shoes (I can't remember if that's typical of Birks). Fit perfectly, very comfy, and cute. More substantial than a strappy sandal, but not as caveman-ish as other Birks. One of the few slides that don't hurt my back. I'm very happy.

Love! Got these today, less than 24 hours after ordering, as is wonderfully usual with Zappos! Got golden brown, regular width, 39. I agree with an earlier reviewer that the color is really pretty! Makes them slightly dressier and will probably match with more since they are definitely more metallic than brown. Super comfortable right out of the box – will not need as much break in as my other Birks. The underside of the strap is very soft. I have bad feet but these feel so great! Good arch support and the strap makes them feel very secure. Yay! (I'm usually a 9 in American shoes, but always a 39 in Birks, so I labeled these as larger than marked.)

Love this sandal! Love Birkenstocks. Love this sandal, it is cute and oooh so comfortable, very sturdy, and well made. Break in was a little rough as I don’t normally wear a thong sandal, but it was not unbearable. Love this sandal and I LOVE ZAPPOS. Fantastic service. Will definitely shop more with Zappos.

Great shoes! I love these Birks more than my previous pair. I ordered regular width, even though I have a narrow foot. The width is perfect and they look great with skirts, shorts, jeans, etc. And of course Zappos got them to me straight away!

Great Product But Break In Can Be Tough - This is a wonderful sandal. If you get the right color / finish, the sandal is actually very sheik. It surprises many to hear that these are Birks. I have foot problems and ended up picking this style over the Relax 100 and the Piazza. I've had no problems with the toe spacer. I did develop blisters on the soles of my feet during the break in period, which I suppose is par for the course. Otherwise, this is a great, great buy. Blisters and all, I'm loving them and still recommending them.

Love them - These are great sandals, my second pair in this style. I wear narrow and they are a true narrow fit. Many compliments!

Great sandals. I always thought of Birkenstocks as hippy shoes, but not anymore. These are stylish and comfortable. They're not too trendy so I can see me having them for a long time. They took awhile to break in, mainly because the little toe thong piece is a bit hard. After wearing them a few times for shorter stints I'm now able to wear them all day. Definitely worth the break-in period! I typically wear an 8.5 or 9 and ordered the 39 which fit perfectly. I have a normal width foot and ordered the regular Birkenstock width, which was also perfect.

Great Shoe, Great Service! I'm about to head off to Spain to study abroad and needed a great walking shoe, but also one that I could dress up or down, and that looked somewhat girly. This was a great choice! I've never owned a pair of Birkenstocks before, but I love them already. The break-in period is not as bad as the other reviews make it seem...I wore them around the house for 3 days and I'm good to go (it could be because I'm 20 years old, though...). And the thong sandal hasn't bothered my feet at all, and it probably won't bother yours if you're used to wearing flip flops. The golden brown color is really cool. The online picture doesn't do it justice...it's metallic and shimmery looking, a great feminine-looking shoe. I was turned off to the Arizona style, etc. because they seem manly, and this shoe is not at ALL manly...just comfy and sturdy. I can tell it will last forever, and take me through Europe!
