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

Never had Birks before! I think this is gonna be the sandal ever!

I absolutely LOVE these & have bought the Gizeh for the last 11 years because they are so stylish and extremely comfortable too!! The break-in period is very quick and the in between toe part doesn't bother me personally. I bought the licorice color (already have the silver) & it's such a pretty shimmery black that goes with everything easily - thank goodness they still make this perfect style :-)

The arch support was great but not in the right place of my foot, ended up hurting me all day and enable to walk with them.. I love the sandals and I hate the fact that i have to return them because of that :(

I haven’t worn this brand in years. Why I ever stopped I do not know. I am so grateful that I’ve started wearing them again! My feet are happy!

I am so sad because I loved these so much but I had to send them back. The plastic piece they use between the toes killed my feet. I considered sizing up but there's no way the rest of the shoe would work if I did... I'll be keeping an eye out to see if they release this style with a different thong piece material. I'll be the first to buy if they do!

Podiatrist recommended for heel spur pain and my feet feel great!

This shoe definitely runs large. I typically wear a 6.5W or a 7 so I ordered a 37 (6-6.5). I'm returning them for a 36. Also, I was not a fan of the upper -- I expected it to feel more like leather, but it felt more like felt on the inside and like a very thin patent leatherish texture on top. It felt very light weight and I'm not confident that it would hold up well over time. I'm getting the new pair in leather.

This is absolutely my all-time favorite shoe! I had foot issues and was prescribed custom orthodics, which I tried but was not crazy about. Then I got these because I was going on a trip where a lot of walking was involved. I ended up wearing these sandals the ENTIRE time - walking, leisure, nighttime. After that, you could hardly get these off of my feet. No more flip flops for me! Rarely any other shoe at all! These are my go-to for everything unless it is super cold outside. I ordered the black and was VERY happy. Going on 1-1/2 years now, I've just gotten another pair, thinking I would need a break in period but they were comfortable right off the bat. I wear a size 10 and get the size 41 in this shoe and they are PERFECT. I love love love these sandals!

Absolutely love Gizeh Birkenstocks! They are the most comfortable sandals. I purchased the toffee color and they're a little bit shiny, but I'm hoping the shine will fade. Anyone with bunions that wears these will be completely relieved, nothing rubs against them. This is the first birko-flor I've worn, and I find them just as comfortable as the birkibuc--only perhaps the birkibuc is a little bit softer.

very cute and mostly comfortable except for the piece between the toes. i'm hoping that gets better with time, as they get broken in.

I will comment mostly on fit and finding the right size. I am a very normal width 8M. I started out with the narrow 38. Too small. Then tried reg width 39. Too big. Then tried 2 pair of the 38 reg width. One pair fit like a glove the second pair felt just a hair short and my toes would rub the ridge at the very front of the shoe. So I would recommend sizing down. HOWEVER, if you end up with a soft foot bed then go with your regular size. I ended up ordering a soft footbed gizeh from Birkenstock because they were the only ones who carried that combo. I also have soft footbed Arizona and wear normal size because of the soft bed. Will also add that these sucked for the first couple of days then after day 3 they were amazing. Stick with it a couple of days. And the toe piece never bothered me, never felt it. Hope this helps someone.

I like them but it takes a few days to break them in.

I love Birks and this is one of my favorite kinds. I got the black even though I first ordered Licorice and the black oiled leather. I didn’t feel the leather was worth the extra $25 and and Licorice color seemed brown black, and I wanted true black. I can wear these with anything.

These were my first pair of Birkenstock sandals. I'm usually a 7.5 to an 8 in shoes and was recommended to go with the 38. I ended up going with the 38 and they fit perfectly. My heel fits perfectly in the heel cup and my arch lines up with the arch support in the sandal. I feel like if I went with the 39 they would have been big and my feet wouldn't fall in the right places. I'm still in the process of breaking these sandals in. When I first got them, they hurt my feet so much but now they are starting to feel more and more comfortable (it's been a few days since I received them). The process kind of reminds me of when I was breaking in my Chaco sandals. Haha. I really like the style and how diverse the sandal is. You can dress them up and wear them with dresses or wear them with shorts and jeans for a more casual look. I highly recommend getting these.

Generally comfortable and surprisingly stylish. As many said, the toe piece was a little uncomfortable to start - but thanks to the other reviews, I wore them around the house for an hour, and they were fine after a little breaking in/getting used to. My normal size is a 9.5, but given how everyone said to order up - I ordered a 40 and 41. The 40 was fine. In my experience European sizes are a match to US 38=8, 39=9, 40=10. If you are at a half size round up, otherwise - ordering your straight size should work. Also, for those with bunions, these worked great.

I wear an women's 11 and I ordered a 42 and they fit perfect. The footbed is soft and suede like to the touch. The leather does not appear to be real leather. The color has a greenish hue which I was not particularly fond of, as I wanted a brown. If the color was right then I would have kept them.

These fit perfectly and I absolutely love them and the price! Thank you! I have a pair I wear with socks during the winter and when I saw this style that my daughter just bought from Zappos, I HAD to order a pair for myself.

I wanted these for years, I was very disappointed, the plastic part where you slide your foot into it really hurts.

I ordered a size up due to some reviews saying they ran small. Had to return them and get my normal size.

hard plastic between toes hurts

Love this shoe! I have narrow feet and they were perfect!

I am a true believer in Birkenstocks! I have many pair, but the Gizeh patents have a special place in my heart. The last pair I got of these was 4 summers ago, in Rome... a bright red patent. I wore them for three weeks straight all over Italy, and fell in love. The great thing about the Gizeh style is your toes are able to grip the front and you never feel like your feet are slipping forward because the toe piece stops them. For long days on foot, I greatly prefer the Gizehs to the Arizona style, even though they are both super comfy and fun. The one thing with Gizehs I notice is they run big. I am often a 39, but in Gizeh Birks I am always a 38. Since these are not the soft footbed, it takes a few long walks of wear to feel like you are breaking in the cork footbed, but once you do, it's totally worth it. And this style you can wear with anything... jeans, capris, shorts, dresses, skirts, skorts, you name it. LOVE!

Loved the color, the arch ,but the plastic that is between the big toe and second toe is very uncomfortable!! I've worn these about 20 times to break them in and they're still as uncomfortable as the first time I put them on. Totally disappointed!

Perfect fit
