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

I RECEIVED A USED PAIR - THE RIGHT BIRKENSTOCK WAS STRETCHED BEYOND BELIEF. I spoke with a rep and was told "sorry you received a worn item - don't know why that happened - sorry for the inconvenience - all that. I will be reordering hoping I won't receive another 'WORN ITEM' - very disappointed.

I knew to go with the 38 in this sandal(even though I am normally a 37 in euro sizing) as it is my second pair and I was fitted in a local shoe store for the first pair. I LOVE these sandals-super support, stylish and I get lots of compliments. Love the silver! I had ordered a pair in the black patent N because thats all that was available and it was a bit too narrow for my medium foot.

I usually wear a 7/37. Zappos recommended a 38, but I thought they were too large so exchanged for a 37, which fit perfectly. The hard plastic piece between my toes doesn't bother me, but I'm used to wearing flip flops almost daily in the summer. I did notice that when my foot was pushed all the way in on the piece, my toes hung over the top end of the shoe (and I have pretty short toes!). So I made it a point to nestle my feet a little back, which is also more comfortable against the toe piece, and I'm hoping the shoe molds to my feet this way.

Let’s be honest, I haven’t worn these exact shoes once. Not even to try them on. I have a pair of Gizehs from last year in that super pretty bronze color. I ruined them with bug spray (it etched the birkiflor) and I wanted another pair. I could bring myself to buy the SAME ones so I bought these super pretty antique lace ones. Yup, turns out, I just love these in bronze. I’m keeping the lace color ones because I used a coupon on them and they’re pretty and I love the gizehs and, hello, someone will invite me to a wedding someday and I’ll totally be the mom in Birks. Pretty Birks. I got my first Birks last year and now I have three pairs of Gizehs and a pair of Arizona’s. They multiply. I adore them and I wear them nearly every day. Done get them wet a bunch though. The cork will crack.

First of all, I LOVE the color that I chose in this product (Onyx) - would definitely love more Birk products in this color. I ordered size 35 (w) as that was the closest option for my usual size 6 foot that I believed would work. I have a fairly narrow foot and found the width to be on the wider side than what I am accustomed to, but it is still comfortable. The length was still a little long for me, but still comfortable. I think I know what other reviewers are referring to with the thong part being a little uncomfortable - compared to other flip-flops in general, and I think it is because the weight of the shoe is more substantial than most flip-flop shoes. So while I wouldn’t wear these for extended walking days (because of the thong/weight factor), I expect these to be perfect for my use - hanging out at camp and leisurely walks. I will certainly be looking for other Birk products in this great color though - love it!

I have worn birkenstocks before and loved them. I had advice that this particular style runs big. I'm usually a 51/2 or a 36 in Birks. Ordered the 35 and 36 and the 35 was perfect! My usual 36 was way too big. Unfortunately the odd 35 size only came in 2 colors but I'm happy with the black. Love this style and working on the break in period.

Like all Birkenstocks, I needed to size down one full size. I completely forgot this and ordered my "regular" size and they were way too big. Zappos was great and overnighted me the right size the day that I received the first pair. Shoes are super comfy and stylish, definitely a more dressed up version of Birkenstocks, less Jesus-sandal. I had maybe one day of slight discomfort and no problems since then. Some people complained about the plastic thong on the shoe and that was where my discomfort was on the first day, but then it was fine after that.

I have an older pair which I have almost worn out. This newer pair seemed like plastic and was cheap looking.

Love these white Birks!! So cute and comfy and perfect for summer!!!

Love my sandles

My favorites! This is my third pair of Gizeh Birko-Flors. Each pair has lasted about three years and I wear them a LOT, since I live in Florida. They are so supportive - they love my feet and my feet love them! Even with a new pair, I can put them on and wear them right out of the box. I can wear these sandals all day, every day and my feet are happier than with any other shoes. I even wear them for 20,000-plus step days at Disney World. I hope they never stop making this shoe!

The shoe is exactly what my daughter asked for her birthday. After searching a couple stores, a friend suggested Zappos. I ordered the shoes Thursday at 2:40, the shoes arrived on FRIDAY. Now THAT is amazing service. I will be shopping Zappos from now on. THANK YOU.

I love this sandal! I have plantar fasciitis and the arch support is heavenly! Not only is this a supportive sandal, but it looks super cute, too! I agree that the toe post can take a little getting used to, but the same can be said of any sandal with a toe post. Bottom line: My arches get the support they need without me looking like I'm wearing boring, unfashionable orthotic footwear.

Onyx is a silver gray bluish gray very pretty color. The shoes are a little narrow & smallbut very comfortable and stylish. Love.

Very cute, very stylish Birkenstock.

Love this shoe! My first foray into Birkenstocks, which were recommended to me because of high arches and plantar factious. Very comfortable.

I love these shoes. I am right in-between sizes in Birkenstock, and I probably could have gone up to the larger size. I love the shiny black patent.

This is my second pair of Birkenstocks this summer. Mayari in 39 antique lace and Gizeh in 38 Licorice. I’m an 8 1/2 and after reading reviews here I ordered GIzeh in both sizes. Instant toe pain in the 39. I feel I could have better fitted better in the Mayari- It took me weeks to break them in. No break in time with the 38’s! No toe pain! They are super cute n I was stopped while out shopping to compliment my sandals! Poor women had to resturn her GIzehs bc if toe pain. I shared everything I learned here: downsize n strap on tight. My feet have never felt better in sandals!

These sandals are so comfortable. I did notice a little bit of discomfort between my toes in the initial break in period (a few days) but after that they’re so comfortable it feels like I’m walking on a cloud.

I have worn Birkenstock's for years. Even my podiatrist recommends them as they have a very good arch support. The selection of styles and colors is great. My favorites are the Gizeh Birko-Flor. They are a bit pricey, but well worth the money!!!

I have 2 pairs of older Gizeh Birko-Flors sized 38. I bought a new pair to replace my older pair. However, the manufacturer must've changed their sizing. The 38 was a too small, my right foot fit but the big toe was resting on the sandal rim making it uncomfortable. I purchased a 39, but it was way too big. Sadly, I love Birkenstock but I had to return both pairs since the sizing is off.

I love how this style looks different from the other Birkenstocks that I own. This style looks young and fresh to me. The color is not a stark white, but rather a pearly cream. The fit is nearly perfect for my narrow feet. The only thing that has bothered me a tiny bit is the thong part between my toes. I am getting used to it though. I highly recommend this shoe as well as all other Birkenstocks!

Plastic piece between the toe was a deal breaker. Hurt way too much. Width felt slightly less than other Birkenstocks.

loved the look of shoe but in this particular style, the piece between the toes was not comfortable, not flexible and felt like it was cutting into my foot. love all my other Birkenstocks !!

This was a really cute shoe but this particular style just looked awkward on my foot. The leather over the thong portion covered part of my big toe. I think I’ll get a pair of Arizona’s by Birkenstock. They will have a more streamline fit.
