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

These were my first pair of Birkenstocks. I chose them over the Arizona as I liked the look better, however the Arizona blow these out of the water as far as comfort is concerned. I now own two Arizonas and hardly wear these.

I love these sandals. I wore Birkenstocks in high school but hadn't gotten any since they became cool again a few years ago. Then I developed persistent plantar fasciitis and was nearly relegated to a flip-flop-free summer. My sister recommended I try the Gizeh style, and I adore them. They're stylish and comfortable. In fact, they're so comfy that sometimes I forget that I'm wearing a shoe that actually looks nice. I wear a women's 11, wide. Usually I'd order size 42. Following previous reviewers' advice to size down, I initially ordered the 41. When I put them on, the footbed fit perfectly. Dreamy. But then I noticed that my toes were hitting the front "curb" of the shoe. I decided to order the 42. The initial fit wasn't quite as dreamy, but my toes didn't hit the curb in the 42. I figured that Birks take a few days to wear in, and that my footbed was more likely to shape the shoe than my toes hitting the curb, so I opted to keep the 42s. A week and a half in, and I can say I made the right call. The footbed is super comfortable, my toes don't hit the front curb, and my feet feel great.

As a wedding planner I've waited for Birks to come back into style for quite some time. Just as I remembered them, super comfy and worth every penny. So glad to own these bad boys!

Cute and classy. Well-made of course and great leather. Very comfortable.

This shoe seems a little narrower than the usual Birkenstock fit that I am use to, when ordering a medium width. The toe leather slide seemed rather low and too tight so I am returning them.

Looks really cute on. Feels a little bulky/tight at the toe at first but adjusts quickly.

For those with sizing questions: I am anywhere from an 8.5 (Merrell) to a 10 (Brooks). I wear a 40 in Danskos. The 39 in Birkenstocks fit me perfectly. I think it's pretty common to wear one size smaller in Birkenstocks than you do in Danskos.

These are my first pair of Birks and I LOVE THEM. They took maybe about 3 wears to break in and now they are heaven on my feet. Stylish, comfortable, perfect. I went with the regular width in the 38 and they fit my 7.5 size feet perfectly. I do have bunions so the regular width was ideal.

These are super cute in silver. They are perfect for my summer vacation!

this is my third pair of gizeh's and once again, totally worth the price. the onyx color is a great mix of grey/black and goes with anything. it does take a couple of days to wear them in but nothing painful. love birkenstocks!

Love my birkis! My I always need good support and these sandals are the best! I love the matte black. Put them on a few days ago and I haven't taken them off! I did size down for the best fit!

As tends to be the case w Birkenstocks, a little rough to break in, but once they are, super comfortable. My new go-to casual sandals for the summer.

I love these shoes! And that you carry them in narrow in some colors. Sized exactly as stated. Gorgeous versatile color! I have loved Birks for years, but this is the first time I've tried this style. Loved it so much I got several colors.

Great fit! Sized exactly as stated. Gorgeous versatile color! I have loved Birks for years, but this is the first time I've tried this style. Loved it so much I got several colors.

I'm so happy with this purchase. This is my first pair of Birkenstocks. I broke them while we were on vacation where we did lots of walking. There was one day where we did tons of walking and it resulted in the slightest bit of discomfort the next day, but ever since then they've felt like they were molded for my feet!

These are my first pair of Birkenstocks and I love them. I have a very narrow foot and ordered both the narrow and the regular width shoes. For this particular style, the regular width was actually better, since I like my foot comfortably in the foot bed. If you prefer a more snug fit, and your foot is narrow, go for the narrow style. I wore these around Europe and my feet never hurt. Win!

Great support. Perfect for long walks while traveling.

Out-of-the box perfect! Classy silver goes with more formal summer wear as well as casual. Great for my plantar fasc. and bunionettes.

Comfortable sandals. This is my second pair. The first lasted several years.

Love the fit of these sandals! The only reason I put 3 stars for comfort is because they take awhile to break in, but once they do they are extremely comfortable and they form to your foot! Best sandal out there!

Great sandals. The footbed feels little stiff at first but walks out nicely. Surprisingly, they can be dressed up a bit.

I love my birks! I wear these whenever I can. I take walks in them, wear them to work, to the store. I am always sad when winter comes and I have to put them away. I am flatfooted and these sandals offer such great support. I will always own a pair for the rest of my life.

One day to break in the thong. Birkenstocks as always are perfect!

It takes a while to break in new Birks but this is a great summer shoe in the perfect color, Antique Lace, that has a bit of sheen without being too light or metallic.

Great, love them!
