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

Ridiculously comfortable. I am a longtime Birkenstock hater, and I never in a million years thought I would buy a pair of "those gross hippie shoes". I saw someone wearing a pair of pink Gizeh-Flor's which I thought were so cute compared to the Arizona, and I was compelled to check them out at a local store. I put them on my feet and thought "I never want to take these off". To echo a few other reviewers, the plastic thong piece is stiff at first but it softened up after a little while and these are literally the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn in my 40 years. I did a quick Google search on fit before I bought them, and I'm glad I read a couple of blogs on the subject first; my very solid normal size 40 would have been too big and a 39 fit perfectly. The adjustment of the buckle is also really important. I don't wear outside shoes inside my house, so I'm on here today buying another pair just for inside because I hate taking them off when I get home.

These are the second pair of Birkenstocks I've ever owned, with the first pair purchased just a couple of months ago. These are definitely the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I avoided them over the years but now I know why they are loved so much. They provide excellent arch support and are superbly crafted. I'm very happy with these shoes.

I never thought I'd buy Birkenstocks, but i love these. I have a wide foot, and the wide option fits perfectly. They are so comfortable and cute. I have the antique lace color and I think it's a great neutral that looks slightly less casual then the more classic colors.

I wear a 9, sometimes 9.5. So I was surprised that the 9/9.5 was so long! I exchanged for a 8/8.5 and these fit just right. They were very uncomfortable at first, especially the ridge under my toes. Based on the reviews stating the insoles mold to your feet, I wore them around the house for a good week. It's true, and after about a week I was confident to wear them outside. I actually think they look pretty (I bought Titsnium) and stylish -- not my typical impression of Birkenstocks.

Loving my Gizeh Birkz! I will definitely order other colors in the future. Love the arch support. Super comfy! My order came on time. Zappos is the best!

Most comfortable shoes ever! I have a high arch, and these sandals provide the perfect support. Have several pairs, and I wear them almost exclusively.

These are the most comfortable sandals that I have ever owned. They are so comfortable and fit right to your feet! I am sad to put these away for winter! Not only are they so comfortable, they are always so cute. I bought the silver ones and they went perfect with everything!

I love the Gizeh sandal. I'm on my 4th pair in 8 years and I can't live without them. They are a summer staple and look great into the cooler days of fall with jeans. The metallic silver color is nice and bright without being overly shiny. I hope Birkenstock carries these for years and years to come.

I have these sandals in multiple colors. They hold up well and have great arch support. If you have plantar fasciitis you need these.

These quickly became my favorite shoes. At first I was worried because it seemed like they hit my feet in all the wrong places, but I had some Birkenstocks many years ago and I knew that they would mold to my feet. And they did after wearing them only a few times. I don't feel the plastic toe piece at all, maybe because I'm used to wearing flip flops. These shoes seem true to size for me. I usually wear an 8 or 8.5, so I got the size 39 and it worked fine. I also have a very high arch, so I can only wear sandals with adjustable straps. I had to use the outermost hole, but at least that fit. They stay on my feet well and don't flop like flip flops. In my opinion they are more stylish than regular Birkenstocks and could be dressed up or down. I am a very low-maintenance fashion girl, and I think these will be suitable for anything that I do. I live in a part of California where it's usually pretty warm and dry, so I'm planning on wearing these almost year-round. The only possible negative thing I can say is that at first I had a hard time driving with them because the thickness of the sole made it hard to feel the pedals. But I got used to it and it's not a problem anymore.

This is a hard review. I bought these as a birthday gift for my daughter. She loves them and they are comfortable. The only problem is the cork heal started cracking. We contacted Zappos and they sent us a new pair and gave us sweet and funny five star service. So Overall I gave Birkenstock three stars but I will give Zappos five plus!

I have fallen arches, and planters fasciitis. I needed a better summer show than flimsy flip-flops! If you have any issues with your feet, these will give you great support. And they look awesome, too. I normally wear a size 40 in all other birks, however, I went to a 39. They fit perfect. There will be some getting used to the toe thong. Mainly because they don't move like a traditional flip flop or sandal. Just hang in there and break them in. Totally worth it! I want a pair in every color!

I wear thong sandals all the time and I can't even wear these for 15 minutes without pain from the hard plastic rod they use for the thong. I want to like them and I love the way they look. I keep trying them but I seriously don't know how this style gets the good reviews. I am not saying anything bad about Birkenstock in general, just this style with the hard plastic between the toes. These are going back!

I love these. I've been wanting a pair for a long time, finally bought them. They were comfortable right from the beginning (but I am an avid flip-flip wearer). The titanium color is a metallic olive green and goes with everything. I ordered a 41 based on the recommended size, but returned them for a 40, which fit perfectly. I'm a 9.5 usually.

Love my Gizeh Birkenstocks. This is my second pair. They are very comfy!

I never thought I'd be buying Birkenstocks, but after a hip injury left me with daily pain, I had to start replacing all my shoes with supportive versions. I have seen the Gizeh on lots of people and they look pretty cute, especially compared to the Birks I remember people wearing in high school. Everyone I asked has told me how comfortable and versatile they are. Unfortunately, they did not work out for me. Something about the way they position my foot is extremely painful. I felt like I was being stabbed in the hip with every step. Cute as they are, they are going back.

Love my new Birks! Lucky to have found these. Most retailers are out and will not be getting more until February! I had a quick question before I placed my order, customer service rep was great!

I'm a size US 6.5 and had ordered the Arizona sandals in 37(6-6.5) but it was too big and did not come 36 so I changed it for this model and the 36 fit perfect! I have the black Birko-flor and they look and feel really nice on my feet! :)

Been looking all summer for a pair of navy blue sandals. Why there aren't more choices, I don't know. Thanks to Zappos great return policy, I was able to try several pair before finally deciding on these. Not the most fashionable (what Birkenstocks are?) but by far the most comfy. And, a great shade of blue with a little shimmer to it. Like that the strap is adjustable.

This will be my third pair of the Gizeh Birkenstocks. They are the best shoes ever. It is starting to get colder here in California but I refuse to wear any other shoes. I get so many compliments on them also. I am buying the white ones today because I will be getting married in them in January. Yep, that is right, I am getting married in Birkenstocks! Buy the shoes, you will not regret it. People are commenting about them hurting the first couple days, and that is true. Give it a couple of days. You will not want to take them off after that.

I loved these! I normally wear a size 7 or 7.5. I ordered size 37 in Birko-Flo Titanium. Fit really well. And I think that has to do with the fact that I didn't try to shove the plastic piece of the shoe between my big toe and second toe. The shoe stayed in place due to the "leather" strap. My foot felt really supported. However, I am exchanging them for another pair because the cork was already split on the inside edge of the shoe by the strap. Hopefully the second pair will be better. The titanium color is a great bronze color.

Whereas other Birkenstocks that I have worn have had very wide forefoot areas, these were too narrow for my feet. I do have bunions and had hoped that they would be comfortable.

I love this shoes. They are very comfortable and good looking! I have also in brown and white antique, all of then are amazing!
