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

Love my Birks! Had a hard time finding sandals that didn't leave my feet feeling achy but bought these gems and have been very pleased! I was worried about sizing but followed a size chart of adding your size to 31 (I am an 8 so I purchased a 39, 31+8=39). For reference, I wear an 8 in sandals and dress shoes but a 9 in athletic shoes. They were pretty comfortable from the beginning (not much of a breaking in period for me as others have posted) and my foot has started to mold nicely in the bed of the sandal. I purchased the antique lace which is really more of an opal with a gold undertone. This color is easy to pair with many things. You won't regret your purchase!

These are great! I usually wear a size 7 1/2. So I ordered an 8 for these. They fit fine. It does take some time getting used to the strap between the toe. It's very stiff. But the more you wear them, the more it loosens.

The comfort and quality of a Birkenstock without the, I think, tacky two strap look. A little stiff initially, but they break in quick without and pain or rubbing.

I can't truly weigh in on these yet as our weather has been too cold to wear them anywhere but around the house. However, I can tell you that they are true to size. I wear a 6 1/2 N in American sizes, which is very hard to find. I ordered a 37 Narrow in these, and they are a perfect fit.

So I initially ordered this sandal in narrow width. I don't normally wear narrow width but thought most Birkenstocks run wide at the toe box. Well, it turns out that the normal width was perfect! The narrow width fit too, but it didn't leave enough room right at the top which I wasn't comfortable with that.

Love these sandals! Needs a few days of breaking in but they're great! I wear an 8 1/2, the 8-8 1/2 fits perfectly.

Love these shoes. Great fit and pretty. They look dressy and go with everything. Not too shiny, just enough. I had plantar fasciitis and made a change to only supportive healthy shoes for everyday. These are comfortable and supportive and I believe anatomically correct for our feet.

I love this shoe! The key is getting the right size - it should fit like a glove and it will only get better.

Comfy right out of the box. I wear a 7.5 shoe and the 38 was perfect. If you are a Birkenstock kinda gal, these are great!

I love them! I researched different styles because I wanted something a little more feminine than the classic Birkenstock, but was worried about breaking these in because others had said the strap was bothersome. I had no break in period. It could be because I've spent years in Rainbows and my feet are used to the strap, but these are so comfortable. Like little beds for my feet.

If you are looking at these sandals, you're already sold on comfort over style. They are very comfortable once you break them in and will last forever. I just bought my second pair, having worn out the pair I bought 5 years ago. Love these!

This will be my third pair of this style of the Birkenstock Gizeh. I love these shoes. You can walk for miles in them and they are stylish too!

Love these. Great color. Very comfortable.

Sadly I had to return these due to the extremely uncomfortable plastic thong. I was really hoping that this would not be an issue but for the price, it should be leather.

I love Birkenstock sandals. This makes pair number 8. They are so comfortable and last for years. I have very narrow feet and they always fit great. I would recommend trying on in a store for the first time though. I wear a size 9 shoe but in these, I have to get a 38 (equivalent to a 7-7.5).

Great sandals, very comfortable and stylish. I walk around NYC all day and these have the arch support I need in order to do that.

Love these sandals, they are comfortable and stylish. Glad I ordered the narrow width as the regular width would have been too wide. Narrow width works perfectly for somewhat narrow feet. They seem to take a while to break in but I like the support and the feel of them already.

These fit true to size. I wear an 8.5 in sandals (9 in tennis shoes). I got these in a size 39. I also have somewhat narrow shoes with a high arch so I ordered a 39 narrow. The color is a metallic cream/white color. It has rose gold buckles. I love these! Only took a few days to break them in. These are my favorite shoes to wear. They're very cute with shorts, skinny jeans, and bootcut jeans.

Excellent sandal that provides great support! The sizing was a tad off in my case. I normally wear a size 8, so I ordered the 39. Unfortunately, it was too big, but the 38 worked like a charm. There can be a period of discomfort, but the shoe molds to your foot's natural shape. Take your time breaking them in so that your feet aren't in pain. Your feet will eventually rest naturally in the shoe, so you can wear them all day with no issues.

I have a daughter who now wears the dreaded "size 4," the smallest size in women's shoes, but still also a size that exists in some children's shoes. She is eleven. A fifth grader. And there are no more children's Birkenstocks in her size. Birkenstock makes them - I looked at their website. But no one carries them. Why? Methinks that sellers would rather get the bigger margin on a more expensive pair of sandals than the children's cheaper version. So, this is irksome to me. Also, my daughter is eleven so has an eleven year old's taste. The more expensive women's pairs come in ordinary colors. My daughter likes the neon yellow in the children's sandals. But, these colors are not there for women. Zappos, would you please carry larger children's styles in Birkenstocks? They make them. Please sell them. Birkenstock, unfortunately, only works through dealers. Pretty please? Yes, if you carry them some small women will buy them too, and you will lose those sales of the more expensive item. But, in the process, you will make them happy, too, along with making the parents of eleven year olds very happy. We want Birks for our kids. But why why why should we pay so much for a pair of shoes that they will outgrow so quickly? Please have mercy on parents and families and carry the shoes that we need!

These are my new favorite shoes. I wear them everyday, very comfortable, and certainly worth the price.

I absolutely love Birkenstock and I love Zappos...that said, I was very disappointed to learn that the Birkenstock Gizeh "Birko-Flor" are not genuine leather. They are made of a thin synthetic leather with a thicker felt-like fabric glued to the underside of the synthetic leather. I guess I had no idea that Birkenstock would ever lessen their standards. While the "Birko-Flor" styles look adorable, I question the long-term durability. If you're someone who is totally fine with the less expensive, synthetic leather version of the Gizeh, then this sandal is for you, as it is super cute. If you're not only looking for style, but also concerned about quality then I suggest ordering the Birkenstock Gizeh "Oiled Leather" sandal. As a side-note, I have to applaud Zappos for offering a 365 day, no questions asked return policy; I had no problem returning my Gizeh "Birko-Flor" sandals for the "Oiled Leather" sandals. Thank You Zappos!

I wore Birkenstocks for years a long time ago. This are nice looking and fit well. The soles are very comfortable. But the post between the toes is very sharp and uncomfortable. I am returning them.

I've loved Birkenstocks for many years. Received this today and it's beautiful. I now have 3 pair of Birkenstocks. I will continue to shop through Zappos. Their customer service is five star!!!
