Very cute sandals, but the thong actually cuts into my toes and hurts.

I'm shocked at how much I like these, but the color is not as pictured on the website. It's mustard, not popcorn. Going back.

The style and color are both great. I would have kept and enjoyed very much except the plastic piece that goes between your toes is unbelievably hurtful. Couldn’t even wear for a minute. To bad for me.

I have owned probably 15 pairs of Birkenstock's. This pair has a black lining on the footbed, unlike any other pair I have owned. Even though it makes them look nice, my feet stick to them and make a clicking sound. I have tried oder eaters and powder. They help for a little bit. Very very annoying and makes me not want to wear them. I bought them as my dressy Birks. Also for some reason they don't quite feel the same as some of my other Birks.

These seemed narrower than previous Gizeh pairs I've had. And they made farting sounds with each step I took. Returning them.

I really wanted to love these, but I just couldn't. The buckle is so thin and cheap looking. It definitely didn't feel like $150 sandals. The toe part of the thong was also extremely uncomfortable.

I’m a Birkenstock collector and out of all the other Birkenstock’s that I have this one is the hardest to break in. it is very stiff and the footbed lining is made of slippery smooth leather that makes farting noise sometimes unlike the original suede that is smooth and comfortable. But it looks really nice with dress and jeans and matches every outfit I have and the gizeh style is my favorite so i had to keep it.

I wear a 9M, and based on Birkenstock sizing , I should wear a 39 or 40. I ordered the size 39 regular width- the width was fine, but the shoe was too long. I will order a 38 . Also, the color is great, but the “fushia “ colored footbed is definitely not leather, and the buckle feels like plastic. Overall cute and more feminine style. For whole sizes, I recommend ordering down a size.

Love the look of these, but mine came and were poorly made. There were marks in the leather, the button between the toes was stretched on one, and appeared partially melted on the other. I intended to just exchange, because I love birks and have to assume this was an oversight. Unfortunately, my size is now out of stock.

The toe separator gave me a blister so I returned these. Sorry to say. They need a more comfortable, padded separator at this price. Disappointed!

The patent leather has no give and so does not accommodate a wider foot the way the soft leather does. I was surprised, but have to return them.

The length is too long and the thong arch is very shallow. At first I thought they mistakenly sent me the narrow size, but no. I have other pairs of birkenstoks (most fit like a dream), so I'm not sure why this footprint is different. If you have a wide foot with a high arch, these are not the sandals for you.

The strap across the instep is too long unless you have a very high arch or a very chubby foot. I would love to buy several pairs of Big Buckle Gizehs if not for the longer length of strap over instep compared to six years ago.
I'd also recommend:
Gizehs from 6 years ago

Added a new color to my Birkenstock Gizeh collection. Gizeh is my fav and I realized I didn't have a brown color. Fit as per normal and I've already worn them. Comfy!!

These are beautiful sandals, but I just did not like the way they looked on me, so I'm returning them.

I am very upset my sandals arrived without a shoebox. I question if their original I own seven pairs of Birkenstocks and I’ve never not gotten a shoebox I called did not get great results was told they would email the warehouse have not heard anything. I want a shoebox to store my Birkenstocks in

This sandal is BEAUTIFUL. Maybe odd to say about a Birkenstock, but smooth nubuck leather and brushed gold big buckle takeso this shoe up a notch. Leather toe-thing w/hardware is a classy accent . I wanted a neutral sandal and it's perfect. If you're on the fence, get them before they're gone!

They are super cute. I am worried about the nubuck getting dirty but that's what I get for ordering that color.

These Birks are perfect! Yes! They need to be broken in, however they are a quality shoe. Also, I wear a size down in open toed Birks. It only took three wearings so it was fast. These are great for warm weather.

I ordered my regular size. I have a narrow foot but could adjust them easily but when I did, it looked kind of lopsided. Also, one shoe fit great , one was 1/2 size too big. They are very lightweight and comfortable. If you have normal size feet they would be great!
