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

I normally wear an 8 or 8.5 but I wear the size 38 in Birkenstocks. I LOVE these shoes. I've had my eye on them for quite a while and finally bought a pair. These are comfortable enough to wear all day and the Licorice color is perfect. Not to shiny and not too matte. I will be living in those for several summers to come. I suffer with bunion pain and these actually offer some relief.

I heart these shoes. My feet are very narrow and sandals with a strap over the top of the foot rarely if ever fit. These are fantastic. Comfortable from the very beginning. No issues with the band between the toes.

I bought these sandals because I have Plantar Fasciitis, and needed comfortable shoes for summer. I knew Birks would work well for that problem, and I'm very happy with them. They're more stylish than other Birks, and go with everything I wear. There was a painful breaking in period of about two weeks. The toe piece needed time to soften and was very painful at first. It didn't hurt the insides of my toes, but the tops, which was weird. I stuck with it, and I'm so glad I did - they are now very comfortable, and I wear them all the time. Be prepared for a rough two weeks! I used moleskin on my toes to alleviate the pain, which helped.

Beautiful, feather-light sandals; go with any outfit. I'm between sizes (8.5-9 or 39-40), therefore I did some research, read some reviews, tried different styles at Bloomingdales' and decided to order regular, size 40. When the sandals arrived, they fit perfectly. I am contemplating getting Arizonas now. Love!

I love these sandals! I used to wear Birks like crazy, back in the day, but I have not had a pair in the last five years or so. Recently, I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, and am in need of more supportive shoes and sandals. So, I decided to try a new pair of Birkenstocks. These sandals are not only comfortable, but so much cuter than my many old pairs of Birks. I got the grey color, which is almost a metallic gunmetal color. I love it and it goes with so much! You will not regret buying these. As all Birks go, they run a little large (wide) and are in European sizing. I am a size 7-7½ and got the size 38. They are a good and comfortable fit.

Super happy with all Black, cleans and shines nicely. Haven't owned Birkies since high school, so super excited new mature styles that are more modern to fit this 40 year mom of 5 who wears leggings and athletic tops 95% of the time and these shoes dress up this ensemble just enough as needed.

I wear a size ten and ordered the EU size 40 and got a perfect fiit. If this is your first pair of Birkenstocks remember it takes a few outings to have the cork bedding settle to your foot shape. I love the black patent leather. They are so versitil with shorts, jeans, capris and long skirts.

True love--I am a flip flop girl at heart but pushing 40 and chasing after two kids and just need more support for outings to parks, museums, etc. I have med-high arches and these fit like a dream. Suspect I'll be wearing them daily all summer. Based on orther reviews that they run a bit big, I ordered both a 38 and a 39 to try. Found them to be very true to size. I'm an 8 and the 39 was perfect. The 38 was too short and narrow in the heel cup. The titanium is a greenish pewter color with a subtle sheen. It'll go with everything.

I love these shoes...life changing, but the blues ones were a weird iridescent blue. I was hoping for navy...going back for black!

My first Birkies! Love!! Comfy and stylish although had to break in. I agree with reviewers that had issues with hard plastic toe separater, did rub, got a blister. I chose to break them in at JazzFest in New Orleans so lots of walking. I slapped some mole skin on and was fine. I will be using them a lot this summer including at other music festivals. Will be my go to summer sandal.

I wear a narrow size and have very flat feet, so when I find something that's really comfortable I stick with it. I've worn Birkenstocks for years. I don't usually wear thong-style sandals, and should have taken time to get used to them before wearing on vacation. I ended up with a blister (the only reason I don't give them 5 stars for comfort, although I'm to blame).

I am so in love with these shoes!! The size was right on. I did have to break them in so I wore them around the house for a few days and now they are by far the most comfortable shoes I own. I live in Southern California for I am a flip flop girl all the way but these are my new everyday shoe. They have the support that I need so I can wear them everywhere all day. And this style is so cute, they are certainly not your old Birkenstock.

As good as people said. Great walking shoe I walked all over New Orleans with these. True to size do not size up. Make sure to tighten the straps for the best result.

These were my first pair of Birkenstocks, but not my last! I wear an 8-1/2 medium. I ordered these shoes in a 39 and 40 narrow and regular width to determine the best fit. The 39 regular was perfect. I returned the others using Zappos' easy and free return process. I have serious back and foot issues and was looking for a comfortable shoe that would provide good support and stability. This shoe fits the bill. The shoe is also very flattering and feminine, not clunky. I didn't find the toe piece an issue as some other reviewers have mentioned. I love the way the shoe conforms to your foot the more you wear it. I liked the shoe so much I purchased two more pairs and now own it in silver, licorice black and golden brown. My favorite color is the silver. It's a great neutral that goes with just about everything. I highly recommend this shoe!

I LOVE these sandals so much. I saw them on a friend and I had to have them. They look more elegant than regular Birks. Sadly they didn't have my size, so I tried to squeeze my foot into a 1/2 size smaller. They are true to size so they are going back. If they have your size, you should get these.

Great shoe for walking, you have to wear them for a couple of hours so the feet between the big toe and the one next to it get used to the feel. After a couple of hours they are very comfortable. Great leather. Great quality. Lightweight. great feel.

Love, love, love these shoes, straight out of the box. Make sure you tighten the strap enough to hold your foot in the shoe so it doesn't push too much into the thing between your toes. I love them and want to wear them all the time. The best support in a sandal ever. They are super cute with straight jeans and shorts!

This is the first pair of birkenstock's I've every purchased. From the moment the box arrived, and I saw the attention to detail in the packaging I knew they were going to be special. These shoes provides a cool retro vibe to my everyday summer outfit, and I get tons of compliements on them. They are incredibly comfortable also. As always, Zappos delivered my order super quick. You guys rock!!!

This is the first pair of Birks I purchased that weren't 100% leather. While I like the patent upper the piece that goes between the toes is also plastic and very uncomfortable.

I purchased these sandals because I'm pregnant and my regular flat sandals did not offer enough support. I love them! They were a little uncomfortable at first under the big toes, but once I wore them in, they're perfect. I definitely recommend!

Very cute, super comfortable. Can wear all day to work without sore arches. I wear a size 8, and went with the 38. They fit perfectly.

These are super comfortable out of the box and as they conform to your feet! The T-strap design takes some of the boxiness out of the traditional Birk design. I love them!

I don't know why it took me a year of thinking about it before I bought these sandals. I love them, and they look great. Took about a week to break in but now we're cookin' with gas! I usually wear an 8, and the 39 fits perfectly.

Great shoes - I love them! Very comfortable and look much nicer than most Birkenstock styles. Only uncomfortable aspect of these shoes is that they rub the top of my toe a bit where the strap extends out on the front. Isn't too bad though (might be better with the leather upper) and other than that great!
