Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Oiled Leather

This is my second pair of gizeh and they've changed my life. I hesitated with my first because I didn't think they were beautiful but I have a bad back and knees and was desperate. I haven't put on a flip flop since. I've worn them all over the world and walked miles upon miles in them. I feel like they are an investment in my comfort and happiness. And in my body. They are worth the money. They've just arrived and this time I think they are beautiful! I'm so happy! I wear a 7.5 in most shoes and an 8 in my brooks running shoes. I wear a 37 in these.

Love the shoe. They do stretch a tad. Would buy again. Bought a 40 and am size 91/2-10 in women's

Best shoes ever!!! Took me two years of constant wear to wear out my last pair. They fit like a glove. That being said, I usually wear a 41 but always get a 40 in these and they are perfect in every way.

Run fairly large - I'm normally a 7 - 7.5 and ordered a 38. Re-ordering in a 37.

I LOVE these shoes. Typically wear a 9-9.5 and ordered a 39 in these. They mold to your feet and are super comfortable. The leather is worth the extra money for sure! It's such an attractive shoe. Holding up well overall but the cork is cracking a little under the ball of my foot after 1 year

Should have read the reviews that say size down! I'm a 9 in almost all shoes (and a 9.5 in some running shoes) so I bought the size 40UK - which was 9-9.5 equivalent. It was WAY too big. My heel did not even come close to sitting in the heel bucket. Sized down to a 39 (8-8.5) and they fit perfectly. I can tell it'll take a few days to break in but they're not terrible out of the box. Leather is great quality!

Totally love these Birks! After wearing them a few times, they started to break-in, and are already super comfortable. I typically wear a 7.5 in most sandals/shoes; and a 38 fits me perfectly.

I have very flat feet and I love Birks! These are great and only take a couple days to break in. They might feel a little hard at first, but it really only took me two days to feel right at home. I wear them all the time now :) amazing, long-lasting brand

After the normal Birkenstock break in period of a couple days, these are extremely comfortable! The leather upper looks great and I definitely recommend these to anyone. These are my go to sandals for the summer. I can walk all day in them!

Very stylish,,the perfect walking sandal. Although, u have to break them in.

I ordered these for a trip to Florida and got them the day before I left. They are super comfortable and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. My advice would be to size down a bit. I usually wear a 10 and I ordered a 40 and they were perfect!

Fantastic arch support. I want them in every color!

These sandals, once broken in, are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn! During the Birkenstock "break in period" you may regret your decision. STAY THE COURSE! I have wide feet and plantar fasciitis from spending too much time in flip flops with too little arch support, and these sandals are a dream! At first I was worried that the middle thong would be uncomfortable, as I was only used to fabric flip flops, but, once broken in, the plastic and leather were unnoticeable. I dislike wearing close-toed shoes and will only wear them when absolutely necessary, so I can say that for a good two years or so I wore these sandals every single day. My feet have never felt better, and I get frequent compliments on these sandals! I consider these my "gateway" Birkenstocks, because these sandals have made me a lifelong Birkenstock fan. I love the footbed, I love the toe bar, and I love the style.

Ordered size 39 based on size chart for US size 8-8.5. The shoes were a full size too big.

Beware. These are not regular width, they are narrow. Makes me Leary of believing what they say now

These Birks are so comfortable! They have replaced all of my other summer sandals and shoes. I have the light brown color, and it goes with everything. A fantastic shoe!!

I got these in black, and I think getting the leather (vs the fake leather) is worth the extra $$. I wore my last pair of Birks into the ground, and plan to do the same with these. I went down a half size (usually a 39, got a 38).

These are probably the most comfortable shoes I have and totally worth the price! The run at least 2 sizes larger. I usually wear a 7 wide or 6.5 in sandals and the 35/ U.S.size 4 fits perfectly.

These are my first Birkenstocks. It took a few days for my feet to get used to the feel of them, but now I think they are SO comfortable and I really love them. I got the black oiled leather, which is less true black than some others I have seen, more of a soft black or charcoal. I usually wear a ladies size 8 or 8 1/2 and the 38 fits great for me.

I love these! Comfortable from the beginning and I know they will last forever like my other Birkenstocks. Worth the money. I receive compliments every time I wear them. Great every day sandal and office appropriate too.

Takes time to break into but after its so comfortable! No pain when waking long distances.

I have another pair of these in a lighter color but after wearing HAD to get another pair to match other outfits they are so Cute! The usually clunky feeling you can get with the basic Birks is not like that in these. They are still feminine enough to wear with a sundress to a nice brunch or walking about around the boardwalk or just good shopping! I recommend giving these a try if you had the other Arizona Birkenstock sandals & felt clunky, these ones won't at all. Thinking of buying a 3rd pair!! Definitely a must have for your shoe collection or just that right pair of sandals for the season! Also I'm an 8-8.5 but size down to a 38 (which in US converts to a 7-7.5). I also have flat feet & these arches really help with walking.

My favorite sandals. This is my second pair and I love them!

I love these shoes. This is my second pair (I have the black Birko-Flor). I was looking for a neutral color, and the oiled tobacco is great! I wear a size 8 1/2 in other shoes, and the 39 fits me perfectly. I expect to wear these from now til October. The pair I ordered was damaged, and Zappos quickly shipped me another pair. Excellent customer service! I only buy shoes from Zappos. Highly recommend!
