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

Fantastic! I wear a 9, sometimes 9.5. The 39 fit perfect. Incredibly comfortable

This is my fourth day for these Gizehs - Regarding the plastic toe thong part - First day - several hours of wearing, in between toes at the base were pretty sore. No calluses or blisters, just achey right at the v between the toes. Day two, I wrapped the base of the the thong part with a strip of flimsy silacone from an old pair of toe spacers I had to buffer the thong and help the ache. Walked in them for about an hour on concrete. Day three, put them on and the ache was gone, thong part not noticeable anymore. I think it's just a new sensation that in between your toes need to get used to... I did stretch the base of the flexible/plastic thong from side to side slowly and carefully a few times, flexing it, gently not to compromise the quality of the foot bed. I'm happy I hung in there. ALSO GREAT NEWS - no plantar fasciitis pain from the weekend!!! I didn't even have to stretch my feet last night. That means, these are corrective as well as comfortable. It's nice to make sure the leather strap is snug, not tight of course. They feel really comfortable, snug and secure. Saving money to get some black ones (I chose Tobacco and they are nicely neutral, goes with much) I forgot to mention, another reason I chose this shoe/sandal is because all of my black and navy darker colored rubber flip flops not only gave me great pain at end of day, but my feet were always discolored. From rubber! Yuk. This won't happen with foot bed on these -

Had to return the first order with my usual size becauee the rim of the shoe was scrunching my toes. I sized up and it took about 2 weeks to break them in. Very uncomfortable at first, but I knew they would be. Now they're my go to sandals. No back pain and no foot pain. I've had plantar fasciitis and have to be very careful when choosing shoes. Also, wide feet with bunions. I wear these to work and even around the house instead of walking barefoot to prevent foot and back pain. Very happy with these shoes. I got the licorice black. Very nice.

First pair of Birkenstocks and I love them!

I Bought these for my 10 ye old daughter who is normally a youth 4. She sometimes can fit into a very small women’s size. First I tried the gizeh kids size 34 which only comes in narrow. She has a narrow foot. They were way to narrow although the length just fit. Living in New England I knew I wanted them a tad big so they fit her for a full year at least. So I returned the 34 kids and bought the adult regular width 35 which converts to a 4-4.5. She is a narrow and most shoes slip off unless they have ties but seeing how narrow the kids version was I am so glad I went with regular width because you can tighten the buckle just fine. They are perfect! And she finds them very comfortable. The women’s 35 is definetly equal to a youth 4/4.5 in American shoes for a 10 year old

I went to a pediatrist for an Achilles bone spur. He recommended Birkenstocks because of the arch supports. The price is good compared to SAS shoes.

Actually for my 12 yo daughter. At this age they want to wear cheap flip flops... we all did... but if you kid has high arches, no arches, is hyperflexible in the feet, or is perhaps overweight... they really do need more support for their feet in the long run. And also some barefoot time!! They are also stylish and even though they are sandles, feet stay reasonably warm down to the 60f.

I love these! I’m on my third pair— I just keep buying new ones every year or so!

Another wonderful pair of Birkenstock’s to add to my collection!

So supportive and comfortable! I can wear these all day without heel pain.

So comfy! Love them

This is my second pair of these shoes - I love them! I usually wear 7.5/8 and ordered the 38 (which says it is 7/7.5). They fit perfectly.

Omg, I love these-wear them almost all summer!

Super nice and comfortable

I read the reviews prior to purchasing the Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor, and I am very pleased that I did so. They were right - you do need to go down one size. I am a US 8 (European size 39); I ordered a European size 38 for these sandals and the fit was perfect. I have wide feet, and the Regular fit was fine as well. A lot of the reviews also stated that these sandals needed to be broken in. I complied as well, and initially wore them inside the house for several hours, and I did this for a couple of days. It took a bit more time for the thong part on the right sandal (the part hitting in between the big toe and the 2nd toe) to become more comfortable, so just be patient. The support of the sandal's footbed feels so good. I love this somewhat more modern Birkenstock style, and I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

I loved this sandal when I had it in white, and now I love the licorice color just as much. So versatile, can walk all day in it. I do wish wide-width Birkenstocks were available from Zappos though because in a for me the regular width is a bit narrow at the ball of my foot and the cork sole will crack a bit there in a few months (based on past Birks I've owned).

Very cute and comfortable. These made my feet ache for the first week or so, but after my feet got used to them they ended up being my most comfortable, supportive shoes.

The toe separater takes some getting used to, but overall, it’s a very comfortable shoe.

Love them. Took about 2 days of wearing them to get over between my toes being sore...after that...absolutely perfect. Wear them every day!!

This style of Birkenstocks are the first I have ever owned or tried on. They fit nicely. After reading the reviews, we ordered a size down. They were too small. I normally wear a size 8, and purchased a size 8 the second time. These fit great. I have the antique lace color. It's a nice color. At first, the arch was a little weird. I have a low arch.

Love these shoes! They are so adorable and comfortable.

I sized down like other reviews had suggested and they fit perfect. So far very comfortable, I haven't worn them for a long period of time yet just shopping here and there. I bought the silver and they are super cute.

Favorite shoes in my closet. I never wear flip-flops. My feet do not like anything in between my toes or at least until I found these. I tried them because I loved the look. The fit is even better!

This is my favorite style, so comfortable and look good on your feet!

LOVE the onyx, love the style, great support!
