This is the second pair of Birkenstocks I have bought in a month which shows how much I love these shoes! This time I bought the Gizeh in antique white and love how versatile it is. They are so comfortable and supportive. I normally wear flip flops in the summer but have recently had increasing mild soreness in my feet and back and switched to mostly gym shoes which were hot and confining. Birkenstocks were the solution I needed. I normally wear a size 7 or 7.5, but in these the 6 fit perfectly.

I love these shoes on other people and have been wanting a pair for a long time, but they just seem incompatible with my feet. I'm a 8/8.5, and the 39 ran huge. I exchanged for a 38 but the toe box was ever-so-slightly too short (my "ring toe" was rubbing). They look adorable on others, and it's a well-made shoe, but they're not meant for me.

The best, as usual! This is my third pair of gizehs, I already had metallic gold and antique lace. Same fit as all my other Birkenstocks. I wanted a color that matched just about everything, and the toffee is perfect! A nice medium brown with a hint of shimmer, easy to dress up or down! Comfortable, stylish, and good for my feet-- no buyer's remorse here! Arrived on my doorstep less than 24 hours after I purchased them; thanks Zappos for consistently offering the BEST customer service!

My first pair and I'm in love! The delicate shiny pale pink color makes it perfect for all outfits! I can dress them up or down and wear them all day without any problems.

I hesitated buying these, but my arch was really beginning to hurt more and the Naot sandals that I've loved for years was just not doing it for anymore! I hate flip flops, so I was afraid the thong sandal would irritate my toes, but it really doesn't! The little piece in between your toes is very narrow so you barely feel it at all! They also look nice too--much more fashionable than I thought!

I REALLY wanted to like these. I tried 2 different sizes but they just are super uncomfortable. So cute but just couldn't.

The look of these shoes is great. The antique lace color is perfect if you're looking for a cuter, comfortable everyday sandal. Very neutral and slightly dressier than a brown color. The fit of these shoes apparently has to be acquired because they were not comfortable right out of the box. I'm working on "breaking. them in" as others have suggested, but I honestly wouldn't have bought them had I known it would take so much time for them to be comfortable...especially considering the price. This may change once they're broken in, but for now only 3 stars for comfort.

My first pair of Birkenstocks and I'm bummed I waited so long to try them! Such a comfortable sandal. My feet were hurting from wearing flip flops too often, and these are a great solution. My feet feel great and well supported.

Love Birkenstock! I am typically a 9.5 and bought the 40 and they fit perfectly! Once they form to your foot too they are SO comfortable. Wear them all the time, practically the only sandal I wear.

So cute and comfortable! I wear these all the time from running around with my son to having a casual dinner with friends. They are not only comfortable but nice looking as well. They always feel a little hard until I break them in but otherwise a plus!!!

The white patent is not actually leather it is plastic with a cheap,synthetic felt underneath. The part that goes between your toe is too tight and very uncomfortable. I have very skinny feet as well so I'm not sure who these shoes are made for. Would have been cute if they were real leather and fit properly.

This was the second pair of size 41 that I bought, as every one fits just a little bit differently. Fantastically comfortable if you like the arch support. However, 10 months later, the cork cole has completely cracked on the each side of my foot where the shoe bends as I walk. I would expect this from an inexpensive piece of footwear, but not Birkenstock, which is traditionally known for it's durability as a sandal. The rise in trend for this shoe makes me wonder if there is a weakness in manufacturing to keep up with demand. Overall disappointed because the shoe is so comfortable. I wonder if others have had similar issues...

These shoes were exactly as I expected. If you are new to Birkenstock, you will need to size down a full size. They are very stiff and a bit uncomfortable when you first get them, so you will need to wear them in. After that, they are very supportive and comfortable. I realized I like my pair without the piece between the toes better, but that is just a preference. I ordered the Onyx Birko-flor. The color is very pretty and more versatile than I imagined.

This is the second pair of Birkenstocks that I purchased within about a month of each other. I also have the mayari style. I have plantar fasciitis and heel pain that is excruciating at times. These sandals are absolutely amazing. So comfortable and supportive right out of the box. I have tried Spenco and Vionic and neither provided the relief that the Birkenstocks have. I am so happy with my purchases. So are my feet.

I got these shoes to go on vacation since I was going to be doing a lot of walking. I wore them a few times before my trip to break them in, and am glad I did. They are initially a bit uncomfortable and especially on the arch of my foot. After wearing them about 4 times for long period of time they were good to go. I wore them for my vacation and never once did they hurt my feet. They were very comfortable, and Im so glad I purchased them.

These are wonderful sandals. They are extremely comfortable and can be dressed up or down. I was nervous about the toe part being uncomfortable, but it is not at all and the shoes fit great. They are my favorite Birkenstocks.

I love these shoes! I'm a Keen and Birkenstock junkie ever since I broke my foot 4 years ago. Comfort and arch support are essential for me - without them my former break starts to hurt again. I have purchased no other brands (despite trying). So finding Birks that are really cute is a huge win. I was worried that the Gizeh would feel too floppy, but they've been a staple since they arrived, wearable with skirts, shorts, and the lightweight linen/hemp pants that I love in the Florida heat.

These are really cute! They go with everything! But there is a break in period. I had 5 times I wore them that they were uncomfortable. But the more I wear them the better they get.

I've had his shoe for a year and it's been amazing - except that the sole is cracking by the ball of the foot on both shoes! Usually Birkenstocks are long lasting, but these are kind of disappointing!
The fit has otherwise been really good, just the quality seems to be lacking
