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

I usually don’t have a problem with thong sandals, but these were really uncomfortable between my toes.

overall footbed was too rigid, rides high on inside arch

This style does not fit my foot correctly. I normally wear a women's 10, regular width. In this style, the 40 is too long. When my heel is fitted properly in the heel cup the part that goes between the toes is too far forward. The 39 fits well length-wise, but my foot spills over the side, so the outside of my foot goes over the edge. I have a very slightly wide foot but I have never bought a wide width shoe. I also tried this sandal in the oiled leather version, and the oiled leather was more comfortable between the toes and the straps. It is worth the extra money to get the real leather.

I was really excited to try out these sandals. But when I received them I was sorely disappointed. The thong is so hard and uncomfortable I could barely walk across the room. And they fit otherwise, perfect length and width. I tried them again a day later, and I was convinced that these may just be the most uncomfortable shoes that I have ever put on my feet. I really do want to know who can stand the pain and wear these long enough to break them in?!?!?!?

Love these! Took a couple of times wearing them to break them in....but once I did I wear them everywhere!! Very feminine, and the black patent really dresses a Birkenstock up! Very true to size!!! Love!

I really loved the shoes but the bitko-flor just seemed so cheap i chose to return them and spend the extra money on a pair in leather. It just seemed like if your paying $100 for sandals the material should have been nicer

I ordered this item 2 days ago and of course Zappos Customer Service is the best got it right the next day. And about the size, i usually wear 7-7.5 on sandals but I went one size down based on reviews so I got 6-6.5 Narrow which is perfect for my tiny feet. Im so happy, color is Antique Lace so pretty for my spring-summer out and about outfits. I would recommend this pair of sandals, quite pricey however its durable and worth the price!

Get one size smaller than u would normally wear. My wife is a 7, but wears 37 in birks. The 38 was too big

I like how these sandals feel, nice and supportive. I had to send them back because I could not tolerate the toe thong. I tried to break them in but I could not get them to feel good.

Love these shoes! I was worried it’d take a few days to break in but they were very comfortable from day one! Great shoe for anyone with lower back pain.

I am absolutely in love with these sandals. While I do not particularly love the style, they are so comfortable once you find the right size. I am a size 7, and I am wearing a 38 (not a 37 like I usually do). There is minimal break-in time required, although I did develop a small blister on the side of my foot. The arch support is excellent, which is very important to me given that I have plantar faciitis. I would highly recommend getting yourself a pair, but you may want to order multiple sizes to ensure that you get the right fit.

This shoe is really cute and I see a ton of people wearing them, but it was very uncomfortable for me. It felt very hard. I know there's probably a break in period, but it was painful to wear, so I returned them.

The silver are so cute! Love them

Perfect as always!!

I usually wear a 9 and ordered the 40 and when they arrived they were way too long. I returned with the great return policy and re ordered a size 39.

I have purchased these shoes for my wife on several occasions. She absolutely loves them!!!

Regular Birkenstocks are too wide for me, but the narrow size of these fits great!

The molded “bar” under the toe area of the footbed is very uncomfortable for me in several sizes of several styles, so I have concluded that I can’t wear Birkenstock sandals.

I love Birkenstock's and these did not fail me either for style, fit and comfort. Absolutely love them!

I ended up buying 2 pairs of these. Last year, I bought the black and this year, the golden brown. I don't think Birkenstocks are as comfortable as people make them out to be. I think they are too hard especially at the pressure points. For whatever reason, the black pair I got last year is slightly longer than the brown, and the little hump doesn't fit under my toes. It hits across the middle of my toes. I kept them because everyone kept telling me that it was just a matter of breaking them in and then I would love them. They have never been all that comfortable, but at 100 bucks a pop, I can't afford not to wear them. I do like Birkenstocks because they have good arch support and don't make a lot of noise when I walk like most sandals or flip flops. My boss hates listening to sandals that flop so I need to buy quite shoes. Also, I have weird feet so it's hard to find any shoes that fit properly. Fast forward to this year, I couldn't find any suitable brown sandals, so I ended up ordering the Birkenstocks again. The golden brown fits better than the black so this is a plus. I wish I had ordered the darker brown, though. The golden brown reminds me of, if you'll excuse the crude word, poop. Unfortunately, I didn't make this connection until after I had worn them a few days so it's too late to return them for another color. Last summer's black pair has held up extremely well. Except for the places where my feet have rubbed/discolored the soles, they look almost new.

I am size 8-8.5 and yet I order 38 berks which you say are 7-7.5. This particular pair has a slight irregularity on the right Sandal, the strap is a little warped. Hoping it straightens out with wear.

I usually wear a size 8-8.5. So, per recommendation, I ordered 1 full size down (7-7.5) and they fit perfect!!!!Very cute and very comfy.

I purchased these for my daughter to wear on vacation. She requested this sandal.

I have a pair of Gizeh (black leather, size 38) from a couple of years ago, and I wanted to get a silver pair too. I bought these in a 38 and they felt a bit too small. Either my feet have gotten larger, or Birks are making them a little smaller, but I had to return them because my toes were going a bit over the edge of the front of the shoe. Also, for whatever reason I didn't find the style in the silver color as flattering - they kind of cut my legs off at the ankle and make them look more stumpy. However, don't let that stop you! They are still a lovely shoe and very comfortable, as always.

This is my 3rd (maybe 4th) pair of this style in black. I currently own 3 colors of this style and they are all comfortable. Supportive enough to walk in a good distance and stable enough for walking surfaces that are uneven (rocks, sand, etc.) I will put many miles on these when summer finally arrives.
