These are my second pair and love them. Fit as expected and once I wore them a couple of times they are very comfortable

These shoes seemed narrower than the Arizona Birkenstock’s. After checking the Birkenstock web site, theses particular shoes are shown as running narrower than other Birkenstock’s. I also made the same assessment after breaking out a tape measure. I love the style and my podiatrist recommends Birkenstock’s. I reluctantly had to return them

I think I am on my 6th or 7th pair. They are so comfortable and versatile. I buy a new pair each year and them wear them to death!

This is my second pair of Birks. I love these slip-on sandals. they're comfortable right out of the box and are a great addition to my summer sandal wardrobe. They actually replace a pair of thong type slip-on sandals that just lacked the arch support to be comfortable.

LOVE these shoes! As with any Birks, the first few wears aren't as comfortable because the foot bed has to adjust to your foot profile. But, the oiled leather look and feel is amazing, and I can't wait to break them in more.

These form to my foot. I have very high arches and they are super comfortable to walk in all day.

I recently returned to wearing Birkenstocks and have 2 pairs of the Arizona softbed sandals in size 40 N.
Since those fit perfectly, I ordered the Gizeh sandal in the same size. However, they are decidedly longer than the Arizonas, so they will be going back. They get 5 stars, because they look like great sandals. I just need to learn my correct size with the different styles. Thank you Zappos, for making returns very easy!

I really like these sandals! The break in was rough, though. I had to soften the toe ridges with a hammer before I could wear them for longer than 15 minutes. Once I did that, I could pretty much wear them for my outings. The leather still needs to soften up a bit, but that will come with time (I don’t wear sandals much at all). These are typical Birks. I love the look of them.

The Birkenstock Oiled Leather Gizeh is a well fitted shoe that forms to your foot. I’ll be using them on my upcoming holiday that I plan to walk about 8-10 miles a day.
To make the best fit of these shoes, tighten the shoe as tight as you can get it and wear for a few hours at a time. The heat from your foot will get the cork to slowly to mold to your foot. The feel will get better over time. Enjoy !

this is my 4 th pair of Birkenstock and my second pair of Gizeh style. love them. I wear an 8 and for me a perfect fit is the 38. which is a 7-7/12. my first pair of Gizeh lasted about 6-7 years and then the cork split at the heel and the instep. I wore them all the time so I felt it was fair wear and tear. really love the fit and how they mold to my foot.

I followed the recommendation from others and ordered a size down and they are perfect, comfortable, foot-hugging goodness. The bit between your toes will feel harsh if you put your foot tight into it. I remember having to endure to get used to the feel, years ago. They really stay on and are good for uphill and downhill walking, unlike other strap styles. I also love the slightly more feminine look of this particular style. (OK, maybe “feminine” and Birks aren’t words that naturally go together. Maybe it’s a semi-hippy, biologist thing)!

This is an excellent shoe for someone like me, who seems to trip all the time. The shoe seems to mold to my foot and moves with me. I wear a 9 1/2 in U.S. sizing and ordered a 39, it was perfect. Additionally, I ordered the shoe and received it in about a week!
