Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh EVA Essentials

These shoes made the “farting” noise with every step. I have relatively flat feet and it was like a suction with these shoes. They were very light and seemed like they would be comfortable- but I couldn’t get over the sound.

The shoes were a little narrow. Fit was good. I just felt like my feet would sweat in them. They stick to the bottom of your feet and make noises every time you walk.

So super cute, but so super big! My regular size is a women’s 5.5, and based on other reviews, I ordered the 5/5.5, and they were still a whole size big. So disappointed. Definitely recommend ordering 1 size down.

I love Birkenstock’s, I have six pair but needed a pair for poolside. I was disappointed in the quality of the plastic and the minimal arch support. Not at all like the cork bed sandals. I am keeping them for backyard use only, don’t think they’re comfortable enough for running errands. There are better quality sandals available for $40.00

As others have mentioned, the sandal makes a very loud suction cup noise when you walk, which just isn’t acceptable . If not for that, it would work well for the pool or beach.

These were a big disappointment. They are very noisy when you walk, and bulky and unattractive. I love my birks and waa excited to get a pair to wear casually to the pool or beach, but they didn't cut it for me. I'd much rather buy Teva flip flops that don't fart when you walk.

These sandals are super wide, I felt like I was walking with box lids strapped to my feet. The plastic is sticky and sweaty. The completely solid color of plastic makes them look cheap and disposable to me. They run a size large; I wear size 40 in general and after reading other reviews I ordered size 39 which fit. I sent them back, however.

The way they have stamped the Birkenstock logo into the footbed makes this sole very uncomfortable. It feels like you have something in your shoe.

I'll start off by saying that I own several pairs of Birkenstocks and they are great shoes. These however, miss the mark by a mile. While they were a perfect fit they're the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever put on my feet. The toe post is terribly uncomfortable and I wear flip flops all of the time.

no arch support typical of birks in these plastic ones.

Larger and cheaper quality.

I wear a women's 9/9.5. This shoe was narrow, but I could have hung with that. But it was super long. There was literally an extra inch of space between my heel and the end of the shoe.

These were just not what I was looking for.

Ok

I wanted to like these sandals. A woman was wearing them poolside & she said they were very comfortable, good arch support & perfect material for water activities. After reading the reviews, I sized down from my normal size. They are gigantic!!! I would order 2 sizes down! If you have somewhat of a narrow foot, this would nit be a good shoe for you. I visioned myself getting them wet, sliding around in them & potentially breaking an ankle! Also, the price is ridiculous for this kind of plastic; it’s really the name Birkenstock your paying for. I sent these back & didn’t reorder a smaller size. I do not recommend

I wanted to love this shoe as I love all other Gizehs that I own, however, as other reviewers have mentioned, they make an embarrassing squeaking noise with every step. Was hoping they had resolved that problem but apparently not. It’s a shame because they look and feel great otherwise. Had to return.

These shoes are AMAZING! Light as a feather on the feet and a good amount of support. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and other metatarsal issues, so comfort and support are key to picking a shoe. Because of their lightness i now wear them as house shoes as well. Basically have instantly become the new favorites. I wear a 7 in US size, and a 37 in european sizes...ORDER YOUR EUROPEAN SHOE SIZE, US equivalents are off. If I went for a US 7, the shoe would have been too big!

Cute shoe. Fit was spot on...however, it was like walking on concrete. Absolutely no cushioning or support. Very uncomfortable. I am disappointed:( I will return to Crocs.

I had several pairs of Birkenstocks years ago. Too bad that after a while the insoles would serious start to smell so bad, that I had to throw them away! I wash my feet night and morning. When they start to sweat a bit, the foot bed gets damp. I've tried everything! Drying them in the sun, spraying with Lysol after they dried, then drying in the sun again. Scrubbing the insoles with soap and a brush, then drying in the sun. Nothing helped. I wish they would make insoles with plain old smooth leather! The problem would be solved!

These are nothing but cheap plastic shoes. I was so disappointed when I opened the box. The box was so light, I thought it was empty. There is absolutely no substance to these shoes. I bought these because the product I wanted was out of stock. It’s completely unfathomable that these cost $40 for something that should be less than $10.

I returned them. If you love Birkenstock discontinued Birkis you will be disappointed. I hope they bring back the Birkis in the funky colors. They were great in wet weather and fun to wear.

There is no way this is a regular width. It feels narrow, AND I compared it to my leather Gizeh in the same size, and they are a good 1/2 cm narrower. The thong is short so the top rubs my big toe. I prefer the Arizona Essentials, which says it's narrow and feels wide. Go figure?

The piece that's in the middle of your toes is hard plastic. It was very uncomfortable when I tried them on. I sent them right back.

Sometimes when walking, the shoes make a sucking sound. It's embarrassing. It's the plastic sticking to the arch of the foot. UGH!!

It ran really big.
