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

I haven't owned a pair of Birkenstock shoes in many years, and I loved this style. Fortunately, I was able to try on my friend's size 39 before I ordered and it fit really well. And now I have my own pair and had them for only a few days with no issues in breaking them in. My feet are on the narrower side I'd say, but the regular width works perfectly. Stylish and great for my feet as I am on them constantly as a massage therapist. Highly recommend! Dress up or down:)

I love Birkenstocks. I do feel they run large. My normal shoe size is 7.5 (which would be 38 in Birkenstocks), but I have to go down a size and get a 37 in this brand. They fit perfect. Like any new Birks, you do have to wear them a few times to break them in. After that, they are awesome. I can dress them up or down. This is my second pair and I wear them all the time. Highly recommend!

I read many reviews before ordering. I’m a 8.5 and ordered size 38, which fits excellent, even though the size chart recommended a 39. There’s no way I could wear a 39. From the time these arrived, I haven’t taken them off! No toe adjustment issues at all! Several weeks later, I’m already planning to buy another color prior to returning to work in the fall. I spend a lot of time on my feet teaching, and these will be perfect. They’re SO comfortable, and you can dress them up or down. Highly recommend!

I originally ordered this in a size 40N, as I typically wear a 9 1/2 but they were too short. My toes were pushing against the end of the shoe and the thong was uncomfortable between my toes. I then arranged a return and ordered the 41N. At first I thought it was a bit uncomfortable and was so disappointed. I had wanted a Gizeh style shoe for such a long time but had had trouble finding one in a narrow and knew from trying them on in shops that a medium was too wide. I searched the net on fitting Birkenstocks and found someone showing how she wore her very own Gizehs. She had hers on tighter than I had mine. For some reason, I thought Birkenstocks were to be worn just a bit loose so that you gripped more with your toes. I had mine on the next to last notch. After seeing hers, I tightened mine to the last notch (yes, my feet are that narrow) and surprise, they suddenly felt so much better! They hugged my feet, my arches felt nice and snug and the thong was no problem at all. I walked around the house for a couple days to make certain these really were the shoes for me and decided they were indeed. I’ve made several trips out and about in them and you would think I’ve owned them forever, they’re so comfy. I finally have my Gizehs and I’m so happy I do. I can’t swear they’re for everyone but I think they’re well worth a try.

I love, love, love these!! This is my 3rd pair - my first pair was black patent leather, 2nd & 3rd pairs silver. They are comfortable, the thong between the toes doesn't bother me at all like regular flip flops. Highly recommend!!

Super comfortable and feminine shoe. I am a true size 8 and went with a 38, although technically I would be a 39 (according to the size chart) I found the 38 to be much more comfortable than my recommended size. I love that I can wear this shoe with everything from a day dress to work out clothes. Highly recommend!!!

Replacing the first pair of these shoes that my puppy chewed up! I usually wear a 38 in European sizes (7 1/2 US) but these fit perfectly in a 37. Broken in and comfy after wearing them for one day. Love these sandals!!

I love these shoes. I can teach in them all day and my feet don’t hate me when I get home.

I usually wear a size 8M and the 38 is perfect length in this style. Comfy and cute with Birk support.

Very comfortable! I can wear them all day and have no foot or lower back pain. They are a shoe that goes with everything!

I own a lot of Gizeh styles in different colors but the black patent is one of my favorites! It looks a little more dressy, which I like.

Love these shoes. Only sandals I continue to wear each year. Can walk in these all day with no leg or back pain. I also get many compliments on how cute they are! Ive been wearing this style for many years.

Love these sandals! I had my first pair for 7+ years. They broke about 2 weeks ago. I ordered another exact pair. I wear them all through the Spring, Summer and part of Fall. They're the best sandals I've owned. Thanks, Zappos, for getting these to me quickly! Didn't want to be without my Birks for long. :)

The color of the onyx is a bluish gray, it’s not black/gray. It’s a very pretty color. I have 4 pairs of the regular Gizeh and 2 pairs of the Eva Gizeh, these are my favorite style of Birkenstock! I want a Mocha pair next!

I almost always wear a size 7 in shoes, but when I order birkenstocks I have to get a 37 (which is listed as a 6/6.5) and they fit perfectly. As always with birkenstocks the quality is great and they are so cute and also very comfortable.

I love these shoes. I wear them all the time. I have a bunion and plantar fasciitis and they feel wonderful on my feet.

Love these sandals! Have two pairs already. They are my go to in the summer.

The fit was perfect. I typically wear a size 7-7.5 shoe and size 37 in Birkenstock’s is a perfect fit. I ordered a couple of different styles and this one wasn’t my favorite. They did fit well though.

I love these shoes! The fit is perfect and they look beautiful. As always, the service was wonderful. Thanks Zappos!

I had to order a few pair of these to find the right fit - and it's complicated because I have one foot larger than the other by 1/2 size - but once I figured out I needed to go a 1/2 size down (and break them in around the house for several days) they are a DREAM!

As with most Birkenstocks there is a break-in period and the shoes just get better with wear. The first pair of black Gizeh I received had a pretty noticeable scratch on the buckle and part of the cork around the toe box was ripped off. Zappos was wonder to exchange and send me a new pair. I love their next business day delivery! I have 4 pairs of the Gizeh's along with an EVA pair I love them all.

I had bought the 39’s (8.5-9) previously and my pinky toe rubbed on the hard edge so this time I bought the 40 (9-9.5). The length is at least a 1/2 size more than I need but it ended the rubbing of my pinky toe so the fit is ok. They are going to take awhile to become comfortable as the thong part is a very hard material but once I build up callouses I’m sure they will be fine. I’m keeping them because I love the look of them and I know that after a lot of wear they will be my favorite sandals.

These sandals run a bit large. I usually wear a 10 Ladies and had to order the 40 (9-9.5). The toe thong & bottom does take awhile to break in, but once they've broken in, they fit & feel amazing. Excellent support! I love Birkenstocks- they last forever! I still have a pair from high school.

I’m trying to get use to the strap between my toes. It can rub a little on my great toe.

Second pair of Gizeh for me. Love them
