Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Soft Footbed - Nubuck Leather

Very pretty, but unfortunately much more uncomfortable than previous Gizeh purchases.

I purchased these a few months ago because I loved the color. I wore them for the first time this week and they fit completely different from the black ones I purchased at the same time. The toe thong has a very hard metal rivet and it left a bruise on the top of my foot.

SECOND PAIR I'VE PURCHASED AND SECOND PAIR I AM SENDING BACK. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TOE PART - SO STIFF IT IS UNWEARABLE. I HAVE TEN PAIRS OF GIZEH AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM.

Absolutely amazing! A perfect gift for my daughter! (and myself!)

The rose color is beautiful. And the leather upper breaks in well. I have suffered from plantar fasciitis and can only wear Birkenstocks and tennis shoes with orthotics. After a few wears, these Birkenstocks have broken in well.

Super cute color and I love the soft footbed. I have a bad knee, but when I wear these I forget I have a bad knee. So I try to wear them as much as possible, and will be getting more. I don’t know why I waited so long to buy Birkenstocks.

I love the shoe except the thing between the toes is hard and will not softer. Plastic? There has to be some give for them to feel comfortable.

This is my first pair of soft footbed Gizeh Birkenstocks. I've worn the style and sandal for years but think I'll transition to the soft footbed going forward. Super comfy! fits true to size

Perfect pair of summer sandals. Love Gizeh style. They may feel uncomfortable at first, but they form to your feet after a little while and become very comfy. I’ve had many pairs.

They are beautiful! My first time with the soft footbed, and with my high arches I wish I had gone with the traditional foot bed - they are comfy but I wish they had a little more arch support. I can't walk in them all day like the regular footbed - but they look great with spring/summer dresses and classy enough to wear to a special event or catholic mass. I get loads of compliments. Like jewelry for your feet :)

I have always loved the Gizeh style, but because they were unavailable in the soft bed, I refused to purchase another pair. I have an original (non soft bed) pair that is about 10 years old and despite wearing them every summer, they still hurt and had no support. I retired them a few years ago when I purchased a pair of Arizonas in the soft bed. Needless to say, I have never turned back. I just purchased this pair and it is not hot enough to wear yet, so I will update once I do start wearing them consistently and compare them with my older pair. However, I can say that the color (Dove Grey) with silver hard wear is so cute, I really like that color combo. First time I ordered, it was too big. Called CS and the lady was so so nice and helpful. She exchanged and sent out another pair right away. The second pair came with glue stuck on the back of it and if I tried pulling it off, I was afraid that it would also rip out the glazing. Called CS again and the lady was so helpful, sending me another pair right away. Finally got the the right pair and I love the look and feel of them so much. This is why I always go to Zappos first when researching and looking for shoes. Their CS is top notch! Thanks, Zappos, for everything and for being patient,

I’ve gotten so many compliments on this pair of Birkenstocks. The rose color is really pretty - kind of skin tone but a flattering pink. It goes with everything. I wear a size 10-10.5 normally and size 40 in Birkenstocks always fits me.

I bought these for my 11 year old daughter. I got her a 37 - she is typically in a 6.5 women's shoe and has a very narrow foot. She absolutely loves these Birkenstocks. They were comfortable immediately out of the box. She wore them at Disney World without one blister. The rose gold color looks great with shorts or skirts and dresses. They are pricey, but I'm happy knowing she has a pair of good sandals with proper support instead of junk flip flops.

These are so cute and will be the perfect addition to my spring/summer wardrobe. They do take a little time to wear them in, just be patient!

These are by far my favorite out of all 6 pairs of my Birks. I have trouble with my feet and they get super sore when I walk too much. These Birks help so much! Plus I get so many compliments on how cute they are! I'll probably order the black ones next.

Very attractive copper color.

Love them but the toe area was too narrow for my wide hobbit like feet. Very beautiful otherwise. Also maybe not the best for short toes. If you have slender elegant feet these are for you!

They are a beautiful sandal how ever they are not comfortable in between the toes.

review for this shoe did not work for me, too large & wide, plastic between toes was very uncomfortable , if had been leather would have been comfortable, I had decided not to order Birkenstock ever again, well I tried & very disappointing w/shoe

I’m so disappointed these no longer come in narrow. No more Gizeh Birks for me.

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks. I was happy to see they came out with a more "sporty" style (the white sole) and stylish color (I bought the silver). I'm hoping these get as comfortable as people say, I'm taking the advice of just wearing them a few hours a day at first. The silver leather does feel a bit stiff, and my second toe is rubbing painfully on the thong. I wear a size 8.5/9 shoe and bought the 39. My feet are narrow. If you don't have "aerodynamic" -lol- feet, this style isn't going to be comfortable on you. Fingers crossed these soften up!

These sandals were so uncomfortable. I ordered the correct size, but the band between the toes cut into my skin. I wore them once and could never wear them again.

I wear flip-flops all the time and none have ever hurt between my toes, but these Birkenstocks are painful and it is so disappointing. The plastic used is uncomfortable and I can hardly walk in them, any longer, after wearing them to work today.
