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

Love this product and love Zappos. Only advice I would give us maybe go half size down with this shoe. I wear a size 6 pretty consistently and ordered the size 6 (37). However, it felt and looked large. I then ordered a size down (36) which actually corresponds to 5-5.5 in US sizes and I was much happier. With Zappos wonderful return policy, you can always order two sizes and send one back.

Comfortable from the moment you put them on: these sandals need no breaking in. Some people mentioned the size of the thong as being uncomfortable, but I don't find it to be. It seems about the same as Chacos or Tevas.

I love this style. It works well with casual outfits - maxi skirts as well as dresses. Comfort is amazing.

I absolutely love these shoes! It took a couple of days to get used to them but they are by far the most comfortable that I have ever owned. The color was a little more metallic than I was hoping but it is not a big deal to me.

Have always loved Birkenstock shoes and these look really nice for a simple summer sandal that actually offer support! I get a lot of heel spurs and up until I purchased these shoes have been unable to wear sandals in the summer - I now can! That is a huge deal for me as I hate wearing socks and shoes in the summer! I have a little wider foot than a normal and these fit very good. These are definitely worth the money.

Very comfortable and I stand in my job all day! The shiny black color dresses the sandals up since I have to dress pretty in fashion or on trend for the season. Even though they felt a little big I kept them because of how comfortable they are!

I love these shoes. Read the previous reviews where everyone suggested ordering down. Wasn't sure what to do, but thanks to Zappos free returns, I ordered both sizes and after trying each made the decision to go with the larger one. I wear a 7-7.5 and went with the 38.

Loved these shoes! Bought these for a trip out west and they are amazingly comfortable. Feels funny at first to wear them but I won't wear normal, flat flip flops or sandals now. Still look like new even after a few weeks of rough wear and traveling. I usually wear a 9, sometimes 8.5 but the 40's were too big and the 39 is perfect. I do have a wider foot and it feels great. I can walk all day in them.

Love these shoes. They look and feel great. Also love that Zappos had the available when many other stores had sold out of them. Great arch support and so cute!

These are fantastic - dressier than most flip flops and provides far more support and comfort. It took me a few days for these to get comfortable walking longer distances, now they're my go-to shoes. They're great with shorts, jeans, or sundresses.

Beautiful sandals. Have received many compliments on them. Very comfortable. The plastic on the toe is a little uncomfortable at first if you're used to the nubuck/leather toe strap on other Birkenstock styles but you get over it. Love Birkenstocks!

I did a lot of contemplating before purchasing this pair of Birks. To get Leather or an alternative? Arizona or Gizeh? I tried them on in stores, walked around in them, and went home to debate the purchase some more because this price is a big purchase in my book. In the end, I'm super excited with my new Birks! The Toffee color has a nice subtle gold shininess to it that I love! I'm a 6.5 and my foot tends to be on the narrower side, these fit like a glove. And, I like the soft underside of the birko-flor vs. leather, I don't have to go through the break-in-blister process, I can slip them on and go! I preferred the fit to the Gizeh over the Arizona, they're snugger and the toe loop is really comfortable.

I absolutely love the Gizeh Birks. This is my second pair and I love them as much as my first. As a mom of three, I used to throw on a cute pair of flip flips with my outfits never realizing the damage unsupportive flip flops can do. My friend who is very fashion forward, highly recommended these sandals for support and looks after I complained of foot and ankle pains...and I really loved the sandals on her. I bought my first pair and within a week of "breaking them in," I could see and feel what all the rave was about. Supportive, comfortable and great looking. I'm hooked and plan to buy more!

Just wanted to chime in on color options. The titanium is quite green - I was hoping for more of a silver/metallic grey. It's the onyx color that is actually a dark slightly metallic grey, so I got that instead.

Love these sandals! They are a little hard to break in but so comfortable once you do! Glad I ordered the leather ones apparently the plastic ones are much more painful to break in!

Very comfortable! Took these through 3 airports and lots of walking - love them! I also bought some for my mother. The size was too big and the return/customer service at Zappos is the best. She had her new pair the next day.

I love these sandals and have been wearing them everyday since they arrived a week ago! They are so comfortable and the color is great. I would highly recommend them for anyone who needs foot support.

These are my go to sandals. I wear my Gizehs everyday year round. I thought I would try the 38N as the regulars eventually stretch out until even the last buckle whole is not snug enough. The narrows were fine for my heel, but my toes were coming over the lip and there seemed to be less room for the length of my big toe. I am returning the narrows and having a pair of regular widths sent. I wear them everyday and seem to need a new pair once a year. I do not know what I would do without them.

These are so comfortable and I love the color (I got them in Antique Lace). This is my second pair of Birkenstocks. I have had my others for 11 years and they are still in great condition! I'm an 8 but I bought a 38 and they are perfect!

I have a hard time finding cute shoes with arch support. These are super versatile and comfortable. I wear a 9, but the 40 was too big. I went down a size to the 39 and they fit perfectly.

Summer flats and sandals without support were taking their toll on my feet. I purchased this style as they look a little dressier than other Birkenstocks. The toe posts are a bit uncomfortable, but I think that I will get used to them and other than that my feet definitely felt relief after just a day! I usually wear a size 8, but the 39 were much too large, the 38 fit perfectly!

Love these sandals. This is my second black pair. The first pair lasted about 10 years of constant usage. Embarrassingly so! Very comfortable and my favorite look of all the Birkenstock styles.

Absolutely love these shoes! In typically Birkenstock fashion, it took a few wears to make them comfortable. I was deciding between this color and the black "licorice" but I thought this was slightly younger and trendier for my 20-something self. I gave the licorice colored ones to my mother and she loves them!
