Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh EVA Essentials

Fit is good, bought them for easy to slip on shoes and accommodate my swollen feet in pregnancy. They work great, and I can make them tighter for when I don’t have swollen feet. Comfort is good, shoes only squeak when wet.

I have the regular Gizeh sandals and ordered the same size in these. They were noticeably more narrow and seemed a half size larger. They're cute otherwise, but I returned them because the width bothered me and sizing down wouldn't have helped.

As much as I love these shoes, I have to say that they don't fit as well as my first pair. Both pairs are marked 39 (size 8) but when I compare the two, this new pair is 1/2 inch shorter and a little more than a 1/4 inch narrower. I'm keeping them because they're essentially flip flops and that gives fit some wiggle room. Other than that, they're great looking, reasonably priced, well made, and can get wet without a problem.

This shoe was great, except for the fact that the piece that hangs over the toes rubbed my toe wrong. I loved the look and the feel of the rest of the sandal, but ended up returning for a different style.

comfortable. will get another one when more colors are available

I think these are beautiful shoes but the strap in between shoes is something I can not do. I would recommend them to anyone who can do the toe thing

These are great summer sandals for kickin' around. Yes, they're the cheaper version of Birkenstocks... that's clear not only in the price point, but also in the materials, but not necessarily in a bad way. These are comfy, very easy to clean and super-cute. Yes, they do make a little bit of a farting noise when they're new, but I've got a couple pairs of regular Birks (cork footbed) which do the same thing. Overall, I'm very happy with these and Zappos customer service - IMO, Birks overall run large. I first ordered a larger size, which was very easily exchanged for the correct size. Once you know your size for Birkenstocks the sizing is very consistent.

This is the second pair of synthetic Birks I have purchased. I also have the coral Arizona style. You can’t beat the price for the comfort and support! They are great for slipping on and running outside and I love that they can get wet and clean off easily. I have noticed the “foot farting” sounds, which is especially more obvious in a quiet office setting, but I wear them more around the house and out and about so it’s not as much of an issue.

I purchased the coral color, and it’s a great mix of pink and coral. I think they will be great for the beach. That being said, the top part between the toes seems to be larger than the non-eva version. I may have to perform some “surgery” if they end up hurting my big toes. I ordered my regular Birkenstock size, too.

These shoes are very comfortable, will be great for going to the pool or any other casual activities involving water. I took off a star because there is a squishing sound when I walk. I think it is because the foot bed is deep and formed to the foot, so it creates a suction noise. The noise would be a deal killer if i were going to wear these every day, but for casual wear especially outside the comfort overcame the noise for me.

I' ve been wearing birkenstocks for about 15 yrs now; the only sandals I'll wear. The fit and size of these evas is comparable to regular birkenstocks. There is less arch support and a squishy footbed that springs back, almost memory-foam like. The material is like a plastic/rubber hybrid. (Not saying that's what it is, just that's what it seems like.) They are very comfortable, but I would not trust them for any extensive walking like I do in my traditional birkenstocks.

These are great alternative to the classic Birkenstocks for the summer. Only problem is that there aren't any half sizes. End up with too snug or too big. Color is really fun.

I love these sandals! My only issue with them is the sizing. If I went down to a 39, the sandals would be too small, but the 40s feel a little large. I wouldn’t even say a half size too large, but still... Overall, I love these, and I would still buy them again.

I can't wear regular Birks because the arch support is way too high for my flat feet and breaking them in causes me major, long-term foot pain. So I'd been considering these foam ones for a while and glad I made the jump to purchase. They're extremely lightweight, almost weigh nothing at all, so I think they'll be great to travel with. They're a little oddly shaped (almost 1/4 size too big) which is only irritating because Birkenstock soles are so intentionally molded, so it 's obvious when your feet don't fit perfectly, and the joint where the toe strap goes has caused some blistering between my toes on my first day wearing them. But much less pain than attempting to break in the regular ones.

Great shoes, didn't work for me. Returning because the strap that extends to the toes gaps when I take a step. It's not a flaw, I just don't like how it feels. I wanted the Arizaona EVA but those were sold out so tried these. I'll wait for the Arizona since I like the material and arch support, but want the two straps across the foot.

Fit fine but they do suction to your foot and make an unappealing noise when you walk.

I wanted to really like them, but the toe flaps seem to rub on my big toes and rubbed the skin off on both feet. Maybe they'll break in? Either way, I'll keep them. Might just be a kick around the backyard shoe.

I usually wear a 41 in Birkenstock and all other Euro-sized shoes (size 10 US women's). I had to return them for size 40, which fit perfect. These are very lightweight and cushy, great for the sidewalks along the beach.

I'm usually a 9, so I ordered the 9 but it was too big. Ordered a size down and hopefully those work because these are comfortable and cute.

I have high arches and this sandal doesn't offer enough support. I'm a bit surprised that Birkenstock would let this slide, so on to the next!

Sandals are true to size and very comfortable to wear.

Great shoe for the pool or beach. Nice vibrant color (coral) and they are super comfy. They required no break in time whatsoever. My only complaint is they make that odd shoe fart when you walk. I'm hoping it goes away the longer I wear them.

Love the shoe, perfect for the pool. One shoe squeaks when I walk which is annoying but tolerable due to being a great pool shoe. Exchanged the 39 for a 38. I usually wear a 39 in a leather Birkenstock but the 39 was too big.

These are very lightweight, but seem a bit more substantial than traditional flip flops. The material feels a little spongy. I haven't worn them for an extended period but i'm worried they might rub a bit around the thong-piece. I'll give them a try though; seem like a good shoe for the beach or pool area.

Very cute and comfortable sandals.
