Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Eva Essentials

LOVE these shoes. I call them my birkencrocs or crocenstocks. I can wear them all day and they're so comfy. I also love them because they're waterproof, so I'f im at a pool or something, I can wear them and not worry about ruining them. Really love these shoes...the only thing I would say that I would change, is I think these come in a narrow fit, so I wish they came a little wider, I feel like sometimes my smaller toes want to creep over the side

In Birkenstocks sandals I wear a size smaller than my regular shoe size. (I have 3 pairs of Gizehs in a 37 (us 6/6.5) while I wear a 7.5 in every other shoe). However, I do have a wider foot. So maybe because they are more narrow than traditional Birkenstock sandals, I found that I should’ve ordered a 38 (us 7/7.5). In terms of style - of course they’re cute. I got the all black, so I wear them with just about everything. Comfort? Very! They do need to be broken in just like other Birks. But after 2 days of achy soles, they are truly wonderful!! I love that I have the comfort and support of Birkenstocks, but I can get them wet. I even garden in them bc I can just hose them down. They are my new go to’s bc even a Die hard flip flop wearer needs a change.

LOVE these so much! I would have every color of these if I could! For now, two pairs, black pair, which I wear almost everyday and a white pair. PERFECT for the beach, pool, gym and shower! I normally wear a 36 in the regular Birkenstocks...but ordered 37 by mistake. They fit perfectly. Am a 6.5. so, I think they run slightly larger than the regular Birkenstocks. Plastic or EVA is super durable and easy to clean. Just don’t leave them in the sun or anywhere very HOT for too long, mine actually got contorted and twisted. I did fix them myself by standing in a hot bath then cool bath a few times till they molded back to normal.

I wanted these to work, because they are so chic and minimalist for a sandal, but alas this was a rare miss for me with Birkenstock. I have wide feet, so normal-width Birks are perfect for me. These are narrow-width (for Birks - probably regular-width for the rest of the world), and even though I sized up, they were still a bit too narrow. Most importantly, other reviews that mention how low the strap is on the foot are absolutely correct: these are the only Birks I've ever tried on that do NOT feel secure on your foot. They feel like you're going to kick them off by walking, because the strap is just too far forward. I could see these being a cute option for walking from your hotel room to the pool and back - but not for much more than that.

I wanted these to work but they felt too big. Had trouble walking around in them. Felt too wide definitely.

I LOVE these!!! I am so happy I got these. Honestly, the first time I saw these EVA material birks I was thinking who would buy those cheapie looking birkenstocks? I saw someone wearing the Madrid style and it was super cute on her and that change my mind. This style is so much more feminine looking. I was weary about the narrow width since I'm usually and reg-wide width. I have regular Gizeh size 39 and I got these in size 39 and they fit totally fine. They are a tad narrower but they did stretch out. I had them set on the last hole on the buckle but after 3 weeks practically wearing them everyday they stretched and I have them on the 2nd hole now. They are super comfy and I get compliments all the time. The olive color is super versatile. I love them so much I got the Arizona ones in silver. The look of the Arizona is totally different but I couldn't resist. I want to mention I have really sweaty feet and I have no problems. They don't slip when I wear them and I have no problems walking with them either. Although, I basically live in flip flops during the summer so I'm used to it. Definitely do not hesitate getting these!

My second pair- great shoes.

Cushy, comfy, cute..I got the bright pink 38. I am an 8-8.5 wide. Although these are Narrow Birks the combo of foam material and the adjustable strap accommodate my wide right foot nicely. I wear them a lot on my hard tile floors and watering the yard.

These affordable and stylish sandals are perfect for vacationing at the beach. I have a slightly wide foot with a high instep and I was able to adjust them so they felt comfortable. I took my usual size. Love.

I love these Madrid shoes! Even though I wear a size 8 in most shoes, I almost always wear a 7-7.5 or 38 in Birkenstocks. These only come in narrow and they fit fine even though I don’t consider myself having a narrow foot. I plan to buy more colors. They will be my summer throw on shoes.

I was a little skeptical when ordering these because I have a very narrow foot & always need to adjust straps very tightly. I was pleasantly surprised that these fit perfectly! I love the look of these slides & they have better support than most waterproof slides.

I purchased these sandals for my daughter in black and she loves them. I’m buying other colors because she really loves the comfort of the shoe.

Love them perfect for wearing around the house. Very comfortable!!!

I looked at these for weeks, then finally made the purchase! I love how they look, & feel like despite other reviews, they are easy to keep on your feet. I like them Bc they have decent arch support, and can get wet. They are easy to throw on with anything. Like another reviewer said, I call them my “birken-crock”.

Very cute and excellent for the beach.

True to size as compared to my regular birks. Felt slightly narrow - may not work for people with wide feet. I bought them for outside/yard shoes and they fit the bill for that!

Not comfy at all - almost too lightweight and the support under the toes hit me in the wrong place and triggered nerve pain. Too bad because they look super cute!

super light weight, but the one strap is so close to the toe area, it won't stay on my foot.

you get what you pay for. I have worn Birks for years , these do not deserve to be called Birkenstocks. Horribly uncomfortable and kinda bizarre design. strap fits low across front of toes so doesnt feel secure. small bite points all over contacts points. Return. TY Zapppos

There is only one thing I can say about this shoe after 4 yrs - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM. Love the comfort, the style, the look, the non-slip tread, the washability and durability. Would love the option of deep burgundy or navy in colors ... but if black is all that's available - that's still awesome.

I’m writing this review 2 years after purchasing these & wearing the heck out of them! I’m buying another pair! Lightweight, supportive & way more comfortable than I even thought they’d be! I’ve been wearing Birks for so long, usually with cork soles & thought these would really only be good for the pool or beach. But I ended up wearing them more than my leather Birks. Sometimes a bit sweaty because they’re plastic but that was never a deterrent & I live in LA where it’s hot & sunny all the time. Great shoes

These are such a fun Birkenstock. I used them for around the house and yard work because they were so easy to clean.

I normally wear between a 6.5 and 7 in sandals and I bought these in a 37 and they fit perfectly. I like that they aren't leather, don't get wet, and have arch support. I have these in black and white, and continue to purchase when they wear out because they are super comfortable and great for summer.

Cute and well made, will be a good pool/beach shoe. My usual 39 fit fine

LOVE these Birkenstock’s! I am on the Varsity Swim team and need some support for my flat feet when I’m on deck. They are comfy and I love how my feet and calves feel after practice. YAY PLUS I love the bright pink color! Comfy and fun!!!
