Love these sandals! This is my 6th pair of Birkenstock sandals in 10 years. They make my feet happy!

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and from just putting them on it probably won't be my last. Seem very comfy and wide enough for my feet.

These were comfortable right out of the box for me. The silver is really cute and goes with many things - shorts, jeans, skirts. Love them! I am a size 6 and wear a 36 in Birkenstocks.

I heard so much about the comfort of the Birkenstock sandal. Ouch! The plastic thong piece cut my foot up so bad that I woke up to my foot throbbing from the pain the next morning. I would not recommend these sandals to anyone who plans to use it as anything more than a glorified slipper.

My favorite shoe in my closet! If I don't have them on it's the first thing I change into when I walk in the door! Absolutely love this shoe!

I have wanted these shoes for over a year. They are extremely comfortable and I love the black onyx color - it goes with everything. I originally was searching for a nude patent leather but I couldn't find anything in that shade so opted for the black onyx and I'm very happy with the choice. I normally wear a US size 8 but I ordered the European size 38 and they fit perfectly.

I really love these so far! My only issue was choosing a size; I generally wear an 8.5 or a 9 and their sizing splits at those sizes. A 39 is an 8-8.5 and a 40 is 9-9.5. I went with the 40 to be safe based on other reviews and I almost wish I hadn't. I feel like my toes are in the right place, but there is too much space behind my heel. My husband assures me that they don't "look too big" so I am keeping them. I love everything else!

I have been ordering shoes on Zappos for a number of years. Their customer service is the best, extremely friendly and always making sure that you are 100% satisfied. I love the wide inventory of shoes they carry.

These are fabulous! I followed the advice of many commenters to order a size down, and they are perfect. I am normally an 8 / 39 but ordered the 38 regular and they fit very well. The adjustable strap makes them nice and snug to your feet with no flip-flipping sounds. I wore them for hours the first day and they were very comfortable, but I am very use to wearing thong style sandals. I ordered the Toffee-Birko, and expected it to be more of a deep brown, but it is more of a deep bronze with a slight metallic sheen, which I am actually quite happy with. I'll be getting more.

These are comfortable. I have really wide feet (usually 7-7.5) But my normal size was too big. Went down to next size and they're perfect. These are my first Birks and I love them. I gave 4 stars for comfort because if I walk 2 miles in them I need a break.

These sandals are fantastic! I was worried that the straps would be too wide since I have a low-volume foot, but I was able to tighten them perfectly and still have another notch to go. They were comfortable from the first time I put them on. I wear an 8 or 8 1/2 and the 38s fit perfectly. I also tried 39s and they were definitely too big.

Bought these to walk Europe. Did over 115 miles in 8 days and not one sore, blister, rub mark. Not one. Also they still look brand new. Best shoes ever.

Love the sandal itself, this is my first Birkenstock; however, I do not like this color. I thought it would be more a natural tan color, but it's more like a shiny pinkish pearl color.

I could not be happier with this purchase! I have been thinking about getting a pair of Birkenstocks for a while now since they have really come back into style, and this summer seemed like the perfect time since I am expecting my fourth child and my feet are so tired! These look so cute on and could not be more comfortable. I have worn them nearly every day since receiving them a couple of weeks ago, and have gotten so many compliments on them! The only issue was sizing - I wear a 6.5, so ordered the 37 based on the size chart. They were way too big, but the 36s were perfect, and, as always, an exchange through Zappos was very simple.

I am a huge fan of the Gizeh sandal. I have three pairs myself and bought another for my niece for her birthday, and she loved them! Seriously, these are my go to sandals every day of the summer and with the cool silver and other great colors, they are funky enough to wear out. They fit perfectly, have amazing Birkenstock support and fit, really comfortable thong feature. Just get a pair now, you will not be sorry!

Just...uncomfortable. I wanted so much to like them, and they were very close to comfy, but just didn't cut it with the poorly designed thong.

Love these! Originally bought in titanium because wanted a darker silver or metal color but they look green! I sent them back and got the silver. Love the sandal, had to get a different color.

This review is for the narrow version of this shoe. Love these shoes! They are the perfect marriage of comfort and style. Birkenstocks take a little bit of time to break in, but once they do they are so comfy! I live in NYC and walk a lot, and I needed shoes that were supportive but still cute - these were (and still are) perfect. Highly recommend!

I love this shoe. Stylish and comfortable. The shoe is perfect in every way except for the sizing chart. I am a woman's 7 or a 7.5 in all of my shoes. So I ordered the 38, which says is equal to a 7-7.5. They were huge. I went down a size and tried the 37, which says is equal to a 6-6.5. Still way too big. I am going to try the 36. It says they are equal to a 5-5.5. Maybe in men's sizes I am a 5, but not in a woman's. If the sizing chart is indeed men's U.S. sizes, then you need to specify those details. I assumed that because it is a women's shoe, the corresponding U.S. shoe size is also a woman's. Here's to trying a third time.

I really like these shoes a lot. They are probably the most stylish and cute style of Birks out there, and I love the color I finally chose. It took awhile to choose, but I went with the Onyx and it's a great, neutral steely gray color. Its not a flat color, but I wouldn't call it "sparkly" either, it just has a nice sheen to it that isn't dull at all. I have found it goes nicely with black, navy and gray. I wore Birks back in college, but stopped for a long time. I am so glad I have gone back to them! As others have mentioned, the toe piece has taken a little getting used to, but I expected that since I have not worn flip flops in a few years. I've had a ton of trouble with ankle instability and needed to wean off them, but I am so happy to be back in a cute pair of sandals that is also supportive and has the look of a flip flop without all the flipping and flopping. I am a true 10 with a high arch and the 41 was perfect.

I always love Birkenstocks and these sandals are not different. No braking time for me, great out of the box. Very cute with shorts, capris or skirts. I am coming back for another color pretty soon.

This sandal style is a classic from Birkenstock. I found the 42N fit my 11N foot quite well. It was not an extreme narrow. My previous pair of these lasted a good three summers of hard wear and tear. They can be shiny enough for casual dressy, or they can just be a shiny perk to your play day clothes.

I wanted to love these because of all the positive reviews, but I have to agree with fact that the toe piece just doesn't work. I'm a flip flop wearer, so it wasn't that I'm not used to it. They may just need to break in, but I'm not willing to risk spending this much to break in a shoe that never gets comfortable. They are way more stylish than the standard Birkenstock style though! I am usually between an 8.5 and a 9, so struggled with choosing a size but ended up with the 39 regular. I think the fit was fine, any bigger and they would have been too big.
