Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Oiled Leather

So Comfortable!!

These might be my fave shoes. They are easy and comfy!

Love these neutral color Birkenstocks. They are super comfortable right out of the box, great for standing/walking all day. The neutral leather color goes with most everything. Stylish, comfortable and great for your feet! Do find your correct size as I think these run a little big ??

I love these! I had ordered a 39 but they were too big so I returned them for a 38 and they're perfect! It took about a day for me to break them in. Zappos customer service was amazing as always

I adore these shoes! They take a while to break in, but one you do, the cork molds to your foot, giving the ultimate arch support. I have worn through two pairs of black and own the nubuck brown as well. Anyone with foot problems should own these.

Comfortable from the moment I put them on. No issues with between the toe discomfort at all. Oiled leather finish is matte, very nice looking. I have slightly narrow feet, and the last buckle hole on the strap was perfect for a great fit. I'm impressed!

I LOVE my Birkenstocks always, but this is the 1st time I've invested in the Gizeh and in the Tobacco Oiled Leather. It's been worth every penny--so beautifully sexy on the feet; the Tobacco color has already begun to develop its own patina that I love; + the fit and comfort from the support for my toes down to my heels, and the awesome arch support make them my favorite goto summer sandals. I was anticipating that the plastic thong between my toes would be uncomfortable, but not so! It only took me @ 5 minutes to get used to it and since then, I don't even notice it. I simply love the look: bohemian and sexy!

Awesome shoes! I found these to be comfy straight out of the box and true to size. I'm between an 8 - 8 1/2 in most shoes, a 39 in danskos and Birkenstocks. These were spot on!

Great fit. My first pair of Gizeh, but it won't be my last. Very little breaking in needed. Comfortable from day 1.

They are perfection! Sizing is true if you know you're a regular width 10-10.5 US. I estimate they require 12 hours of wearing before they are fully broken in. Do this in stages to avoid rubbing blisters on top of your feet. After that--heaven. These are about as chic as Birks come and are easy to slip on and off vs my other pair that has a heel strap so I end up wearing this pair nearly all of the time.

I love these birks! The arch support feels better than any other sandal and I'm happy to have a pair in black that work with every outfit. The only thing is the black leather has been staining my feet, though it washes off, just don't be startled by thinking you're black and blue. I'm sure this will fade as I wear them over time.

My sandals arrived 2 days after I ordered them. Breaking them in took one wear (about 3 hours) but putting some saddle soap inside strap solved issue. I have not worn the Gizeh before or I would have treated the strap around the large toe before putting them on. I usually wear a 10 but in European sizing it's a 40. There is a review about rubbing alcohol to soften the leather, but this actually destroys it by cracking it.

Cute and comfortable. True to size and great fit.

I was unsure of these at first - it took a few weeks for the plastic toe thong to soften and break int - but now these are the most comfortable shoes I own. I wear these with business casual to work. Usually I'm a shoes off kinda girl when I get home but these are so comfortable and molded to my feet now after a month that I find myself preferring to keep my Gizeh's on instead of going barefoot. If you're afraid of committing to the shoe because the thong strap is hurting your toes - they WILL soften up and become very comfortable :) Now I want to get a black pair so I can wear these every day to work with whatever color outfit :)

Love this style this is my 3rd pair and they are so comfortable. You can wear them all day and your feet never get tired. I also love the convenience of Zappos!!!!

I love these sandals and the style. They were super comfortable, but the outside of my foot was hanging over the edge. I looked at the box to make sure that I had ordered the Regular size as I usually have wonderful luck with Birkenstocks. I am very disappointed to have found out that this style in particular typically runs narrow. I wish I would have known that before ordering them.

Wife loves the Gizeh sandal. She followed the reviews stating to break them in a few hours at a time until they mold to your feet. Her shoe size is 5-5.5 so it was true to fit getting the regular sandal.

I LOVE these sandals! I finally decided to order these after my back and feet hurt wearing regular flip flops and I couldn't be happier. They are so comfortable and supportive, and find the more I wear them, the more comfortable they are. Would highly recommend this product and style. Only comment is they run about 1/2 size big, so order down, not up.

Let me start by saying I wear between a 10,10.5,11 depending on the show. I'm 5'91/2" and 300+. That said my feet are mostly flat but I have a very high instep. I ordered a 41 in the same style and different color.. Which I hated the color. The size was too short as I like my heel protected and I have to use the last hole because of my instep. The 42(11-11.5) ended up being a better choice. I'm sure that as I break them in the leather will stretch and I'll have to tighten the strap. I'll be perfectly comfortable wearing with everything. Skirts,dresses, shorts, jeans. Etc etc etc. pleased with my purchase. Returning the other color asap.

Never have any complaints about birks. This is my second pair,my first lasted me about 7 years. Its worth it and this color goes with everything

These sandals are pretty amazing. I usually wear an 8.5 (or a 9, if whole sizes only). I bought size 39, and thought they might be too small- my toes touched the top ridge when walking. When standing, and my heel was in the proper place- my toes had plenty of room. I went ahead and purchased a size 40- and they were too large. Arch and toe bar were off. Returned the 40, kept the 39, and I love them. Because of other reviews, I thought there would be a long "break in time". I wore them for a few minutes in the house, and they felt great- so I wore them out and they felt wonderful. I never thought I'd be a Birkenstock person, but these sandals are so comfy- I've been converted.

I absolutely love these shoes, they are perfect for going shopping, going to yoga or any place!! I have an ankle replacement and they are quite comfy!

I love Birkenstocks! I grew up wearing the Arizona and Boston styles. I wore the Boston clog all winter long in cold New Hampshire! Just add some wool socks and you're good to go. I've been dying to get a fresh pair as my Arizonas are worn from good use and I've been wanting a nicer look for casual, yet nice clothing. This is it!! If you've never tried Birks, you MUST. They are the most comfortable shoes by far, they mold to your foot, and last forever! I find that they run a full size large. I wear an 8.5 in most shoes, which would be a 39 in Birks, however I'm a solid 38 in all styles, and have been since I was 16 years old. Love!!

These have the comfort of Birkenstock with a more slender base that makes them look more toward dressy than older styles. The toe strap takes some getting used to, but after a couple of wears it was fine. I did try these on before I purchased them and found that I needed to order one size smaller and they fit great! I would buy these in more colors, but I am not sure if I would try the faux leather. They look great with jeans and casual summer skirts and dresses.

I love these! I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes have made a huge difference in my heel pain! I actually have them in black too and I'm considering other colors (can't have too many shoes!) Well worth the investment. Bonus: they're also very cute! :)
