Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Oiled Leather

I bought these for my GF. So she wears a 7.5 which should be a 38... After reading many reviews the majority said to go a size down so I went with a 37. They were a perfect fit. So but a size down.

I love Birkenstocks, been wearing birkes lol since 2010 after having foot surgery. They are pricey but they are a true investment. I have them in just about every color

I love Birkenstocks, and this pair is exactly what I was missing in my Birkenstock collection. Super comfortable and cute.

I have wide feet and the regular wade perfect for me. They feel like heaven on my feet.

Birkenstocks take a while to get used to. Can be stiff at first. I bend the soles to loosen them up before wearing them. But once you’ve worn them several times they are super comfy and you’ll forget you have them on! I buy one size smaller in the Gizeh than I do in the Arizona. It seems to help keep them on without flopping around too much in them.

Purchased this style three years ago. I was apprehensive because I don’t like the piece in between my toes when I wear sandals. Pros: Extremely comfortable and I don’t feel the piece between the toes. Can walk in these without any foot pain, during or after walking This style is flattering to the feet (true!). I have had both men and women compliment me on these sandals. I just ordered the black color. Both leather. Con: Not really a con, but I order one full size down in the Birkenstocks sandals for a perfect fit. According to the size chart, I should wear a size 4O (women’s 9-9-1/2), but a size 39 (8-8-1/2) fits perfectly. The same is true for the Arizona style.

Cute, seem comfy so far! We’ll see after a few days of wear then will update! :)

This is my second pair of Gizehs and I love them! These were actually more comfortable out of the box compared to the brown oiled leather. Glad I spent a little more for the leather, I feel it looks better. These have helped deal with my plantar fasciitis and I highly recommend for anyone looking for pain relief. Love my Birkenstocks! ??

I’ve had these shoes for over a year now and their comfort is still unmatched. They are my go to sandal for walking around the city all day or taking out the trash. They’re stylish and made to last. I love them.

I ordered these in the Havana oiled leather in size 38. I normally wear 8 1/2 and per the advice of many reviewers I ordered a size down. I ended up exchanging them for a pair of the Tobacco oiled leather in size 39. The Havana color was very dark brown and I prefer the lighter more neutral Tobacco color. Also I found the 38’s were slightly too short. The size 39 fit perfectly but I do think it’s important that the strap is buckled tightly for a very snug fit otherwise your foot slides around too much and they aren’t as comfortable. I didn’t have a problem with the plastic strap between the toes maybe because I wear flip flops so frequently. I’m very happy with the style and comfort of these sandals. And as always Zappos customer service was excellent and the exchange was very easy and prompt.

Bought these for my daughter & after a brief break in period, she loves them! Much better alternative to rubber flip flops & stylish too! Thank you Zappos for your outstanding customer service!

After ordering a couple different styles, this one is the one I’m keeping. Good fit, lovely color and super comfortable right out of the box. No adjustment time to the thong between my toes, it’s comfortable and the shoe fits well. Hubby happy that I got a stylish pair of Birks, too!

Love, love , love these!

These are my first pair of Birkenstocks and they are amazing. I followed advice and ordered a size down. (Normally size 8 ordered a size 7-7.5). I have a wide foot and ordered the “normal” width and they fit so comfy. Dream sandals.

Very happy with this style. Good arch support and comfort. And looks more stylish than other Birkenstocks.

I am a 'repeat' purchaser of Birkenstock sandals, I have them in several colors. I live in them during the summer months. I chose this style this time because the top of the sandal is leather. I appreciate the support the bed of the Birkenstocks provide. I wear the clogs in the winter. The foot bed helps prevent foot and specifically heel pain.

I am between a 9.5 and 10. The 41 fit perfectly. Have not had a pair for 30 years and had forgotten they do take a bit to warm up to your foot. My feet have been bothering me so hoping this will be as comfortable as I remember. The softer leather is a plus.

I love these sandals. I wear an 8 in almost every shoe I have but had to go a size smaller than recommended for these. Other than that perfect.

Takes a little time to break in, but once you do, you won’t want to take these off!!

Love my Birkenstocks! This is my fourth pair I have the clogs which are maybe 5 years old and still look new!

Love these! My toes are long so I needed a size up. But these fit great. Very comfy and I will be retiring my flip flops finally!

These are great! I’ve been able to wear them all day right away and I’m starting to get them broken in. They haven’t caused any discomfort. To the reviewer that suggested tightening down the strap as much as you can, thank you! That was great advice!

Love these and great service from Zappos while needing to go a size up.

My first pair of birkenstocks. I originally ordered a 9 (40) in brown and didn’t love them. Plus they were a tad bit big. So I went with 8.5 (39) in black. They are stiff and hurt a little when u first get them. My friend loves them and I knew u had to break them in. I’ve had them now for a few weeks and they are really forming to my feet and starting to get really comfy. I love them.

After purchasing a pair of the Birki-Gizeh, and not being fond of the way they looked or flexed, I purchased the Gizeh oiled leather. MUCH better choice for me. Not a lot more expensive than the faux-leather (though there are way fewer colors), but the difference was remarkable to me in terms of comfort. Like another reviewer stated, I ordered my regular size (conversion). Heel back in the cup and strap buckled comfortably snug is the way to wear them. Sandal doesn't slip out of place, and the leather flexes nicely. I have high arches, and I still buckled them on the last hole. So far, so good.
