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

The color goes with just about everything. Very comfy! Great to have these back in my closet again...we are bringing back the Birks lol

The most comfortable shoes ever! When I need to be on my feet a long time, these are the shoes I choose. And the fun silver color is great too. I will wear these all summer long.

These are very comfortable shoes. I am happy with my purchase. However, it did take wearing them about 5+ times before they broke in. I have very high arches and they don't offer much in arch support.

I love these shoes. I actually love Birkenstocks and this style, but the new metallic ones are so fun. Extremely comfortable...particularly if you tend to have flat feet. I could walk forever in them!

These are my second pair and I love them. I decided to try the narrow this time. I don't see much of a difference between the narrow and the regular but I'm happy.

These are really fantastic shoes. Unfortunately, I have to return them. I usually am able to wear a 4 in women's (occasionally a 3), but the size 4 in these are huge. I could go down at least one size, if not two. I'll be purchasing the kid's version.

So very comfortable! These are amazing sandals. I love them so much I purchased another pair in a different color. I'm trying to get away from wearing flip flops all the time and getting something better for my feet and these fit the bill.

I really love these! These are my first pair of Birks ever and they are actually stylish and very comfortable. I get a lot of compliments on them. I ordered the size that's true to my normal size and they fit great. I'd buy these again and again.

I'm in love! I have ruined the arches of my feet running, so I have to have supportive shoes all the time. However, I am in my 30's and don't want to look like a senior citizen with supportive shoes. I have always been a fan of Chacos, but I needed something a little dressier to wear to work. These are awesome! Super cute and very comfortable and supportive. Now I am looking at the website to order in more colors. There were many comments on ordering a size smaller, but I ordered my regular size and they are perfect. And you can't go wrong with free tax/shipping/next day delivery!

I love how comfortable these shoes are! I'm on my third pair. It takes about a day to break them in and then they are a joy to wear. They look cute too.

I have a multitude of foot problems that make finding a comfortable pair of sandals difficult. Until I found the Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor! I love the way they sandals look and feel. They are sturdy and comfortable while still looking stylish.

This shoe is so comfortable and I get lots of compliments on the style! I had to size up from what I normally wear. My arches tend to hurt when I wear sandals, but these were comfortable all day. I need to get them in more colors.

Initially ordered these in a size 40 and normal width as that's my usual size in European size shoes. Zappos shipped these super fast! They are very cute and perfect except they were HUGE. Just to make sure it wasn't me, I asked a coworker who agreed they made my feet seem really wide but the Burks were cute. I returned them and reordered in a size 39 narrow which fit perfectly. Zappos had my new size to me the very next day! Love these abs love Zappos customer service! I'm now looking at picking up another pair of Birks.

Love these shoes! If your use to wearing flip flops the plastic piece is immediately comfortable. They are the best sandals I've ever owned. So comfy.

Quick and easy to order from Zappos! Love my Birks and the finish is a little dresser then flat black. I can walk anywhere in these!

I am a first time Birk wearer - used to think they were hideously ugly. However, now I am a true convert! I loved them from the moment I put them on. I thought the shoes were true to size and fit perfectly. Unlike others with difficulty related to the thong rubbing too much - I had no trouble at all. The first time I wore them out of the house I received a compliment. I'll be buying more!

Great sandal, really comfortable. Great arch support. They only come in whole sizes, so order the size down. I wear a size 8.5, and I ordered the 8 and it fit perfectly. (I actually ordered the 9 too just to make sure, and the 8 fit better.) These shoes are very in right now too; I get compliments on them all the time!

I am size 6-1/2 in everything, but 37 in this shoe is a boat on me. I normally wear a 36 in Euro sizes, but even this seemed hopelessly long and large until I cinched that strap! I think I could probably have a nice, snug fit with a 35, but I am satisfied with the 36. Color is gorgeous, comfort is beyond compare. And this sandal is so much cooler than the Birkenstock I wore for 10+ years starting in 1979... Cooler is great, but I feel the quality is the same - hoping I can wear these beauties for 10 years to come!

I wear a size 8 in boots and a size 8 in Sanuk sandals. I went with the reviews that suggested to size down on these sandals...so I bought a 38 (US 7/7.5). Unfortunately they were too small. Based on the Birkenstock sizing instructions, your heel and toes should not touch the cork...there should be a few millimeters of space in between both. I actually re-ordered and got these in a 39 (US 8/8.5) my regular size and they fit wonderfully...a little bit of space in front of my toes and behind my heel. As far as how I like the actual shoes, I love them! The Insignia Blue is beautiful and I like that they add a fun "pop" color to my wardrobe. They are slightly uncomfortable at first, but I've been wearing them around the house to break them in for our upcoming move overseas. I've never owned a pair of real leather Birkenstocks, but I have to say that the Birko-Flor upper is very well made. I highly recommend these shoes!

I got these sandals because after working on my feet for 15 years, my feet hurt in regular flip flops. It is difficult to find supportive sandals that are also attractive and versatile. These are perfect. I had to wear them around the house for a few hours everyday to wear them in, and now they fit my feet like a glove. The one downside is the plastic toe piece but I remedied that: I cut one of those stick on heel pads that you put in the back of uncomfy shoes in half (I used one that was foam, not slick plastic) and I used a hot glue gun to to glue each half around the plastic toe thingy. These shoes are super comfy now! I agree that you shouldn't have to modify such an expensive shoe, but I knew Birkenstocks would give me lasting support and it was worth the 5 minute fix. Also, I wear a 8.5-9 shoe size and got these in a 39.

If you, like me, read a ton of reviews and agonize over which which size to order, I hope this will help. I wear a size 8 medium (I am consistently a 38 in European shoes), so I bought this style in both Narrow and Normal widths in order to try both, and the 38 Narrow was a better fit. Although my feet are not especially thin, I have high arches and short toes, so comfort shoes can sometimes be a little clunky on me. The size chart says that the 38 corresponds to a 7-7.5, but 7.5-8 seems more accurate. I wore these right out of the box, and although they were stiff at first, they are breaking in well, and I know these will be go-to shoes. Unlike other reviewers, I had no trouble with the thong between the toes. These look great and can be worn with just about anything. The silver color is ideal if you want something a little more dressy than the usual Birkenstocks, but still comfortable for walking. Bonus: These are also perfect for showing off your pedicure -- I wore these with a metallic lavender shade and got lots of compliments.

Being familiar with the Birkenstock reputation for comfort and quality, I purchased this particular sandal because I like the style. My biggest issue was deciding on fit. Since I figured I'd be wearing these for many years, I wanted to get it right. Tried two different sizes - 37 and 36. I typically wear a women's 6.5-7 so the European 37 is usually my choice. That seemed to be the recommendation on the Birkenstock site after reading their fit guide; however, I went with the 36 (US size 5) because it fit the contours of my foot like a glove and I have more room for buckle adjustment if the shoes stretch. I have only worn them for about 3 weeks but am very happy with my purchase. The shoe itself is breaking in nicely and fits comfortably. As always, Zappos makes it easy to purchase and exchange if necessary.

I love Birks, own several pair of these sandals. Very comfortable & work well for me with my bunions. Thanks to Zappos for the excellent service, you rock!

I love these shoes! I could (and probably will!) wear these sandals every day! I have tried really hard to wear Birks for years but haven't been able to put comfort over style -- these are both! I have silver & will probably be ordering bronze soon. I have a pretty narrow foot and these fit perfectly: narrow fit plus adjustable straps work for me!

I love these shoes. I bought a silver pair two years ago and they made it through two summers of constant wear. Zappos were great with delivery, they arrived a day earlier than I expected.
