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

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!

Love this shoe. I do however have some issues with my right foot, mid toe region. I have mobility issues and major back, knee and hip issues from a MVA a couple of years ago. These toes are not working correctly and I’m not sure if it’s from the shoes or if I have new nerve issues. In the end. I like these shoes and will feel better when they’re broken in.

This is my second paid of the Gizeh shoes. I absolutely love them! Have them in Mocha and now in black. So comfortable and I get so many compliments wearing them!

I live in these sandals! They are hands down the most comfortable and supportive summer shoe I've owned. I've suffered from plantar facitis from flip flops in summers past but I can run around the city all day in these and my feet feel great. There is a little bit of a break in window as the cork molds to your feet and the leather softens. Also I followed the sizing guide but they felt too large so I ended up sending them back for a smaller size and the fit is much better. If you're on the fence- buy them!

I love these! I love them so much I'm seriously contemplating whether I could get away with wearing them to a wedding. Seriously. They're super comfortable for my wide, flat feet and so much better for you than flip flops. I have a collection of them that I keep by the door so I can throw them on to walk the dog, take out the trash, walk down to the store, etc. Love, love, love Birkenstock!

I'm on my sixth year with my Gizehs, and they are my favorite everyday summer sandal. I get so many compliments on them, they hold up nicely, and the Birko-flor upper shows practically no signs of wear at all. With any Birkenstocks, they take some decent breaking in for your feet to get used to them, and for them to mold slightly to your feet. They'll likely hurt at first, so just wearing them for a few hours at a time will help. Beyond that, and maybe this is just me, but I can't walk in them long distances. I wore them to walk around DC one day, and that was a big mistake - huge blisters on the bottoms of both of my feet, on the pad just below my toes. I just know about myself that I can't walk all day in sandals of any kind, because of the movement of the shoe. The only other caveat is to not get them soaking wet - the footbed doesn't like to be wet, and will dry kind of funky if they get soaked (I've learned this from previous pairs of Birks). I typically have to size down from the standard Euro-US conversion with Birkenstocks. I'm a 7 or 7.5 in most other shoes, but I get a 37 in Birks. That sounds like a lot of downsides, but honestly, these are the best sandals. They last forever if you take care of them, and once they're broken in, they're insanely comfortable.

I wanted a summer slide on sandal that looked nice and I could casually wear with almost anything and these are perfect! My feet are slightly wider than the regular shoes sizes and these work for me. They feel great in my feet.
