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

I usually wear a size 7 but I went a size down and they fit perfect. Heavier and bulkier sandal than I thought. I'm happy with them overall.

The shoes looked great...but the size was way too large. I wear size 9 and the site recommended to order 40. I really needed 39.

So comfortable! I don't even need to break them in, but they still get better with time people should know to order them 1-2 sizes smaller than normal though! (I had to make two returns because I was 2 sizes smaller.)

I love my shoes!! They're a rich chocolate brown, with a delicate shimmer. Not too boring, not too flashy - just right.

I want to like these - they are cute and the footbed is amazingly comfortable. But as others have commented, the toe piece is painful! I keep hoping that I can find a way to make it tolerable, but so far, no go. I may have to return theses, I am sad to say. The toe piece should be lather, not plastic!

I wear a size 5-5½ and have found in Birks that I need to order a 35 rather than the recommended 36. The 35 is a perfect fit. The only problem is that end of the thong piece is large and covers much of my big toe (which looks odd). Like other reviewers said, the plastic piece between the toes is hard and it is created an abrasion on my toe. I am hoping that this will get more comfortable over time as the shoes overall are comfortable.

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.

These are great Birkenstocks! I especially love the leather used for the black portion on the shoe. As is typical with Birkenstocks, the arch is pretty high, a bit more than other pairs I have, but my feet got used to it after a few wears. As far as my experience with Zappos: excellent as always!

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!
