Customer Reviews Birkenstock Papillio by Birkenstock Gizeh Platform Vegan Sandal

I’m a 8.5 in womens so I ordered a 39 but they where too big.. ordered a 38 and they are perfect now

Best brand for comfort and support.

I have been wearing Birks for over 25 yrs and Giza is my favorite but the new thicker sole is fun.

love this Birkenstock

I typically wear a size 7 shoe and a 7.5 running shoe but ordered size 37 and they fit perfectly. Very happy with my purchase.

Love these platforms. The fit a little bit large but so comfortable.

Really like the fit of these shoes at first I thought to stiff but if you just give them a few wears to break in they are great!! Very happy with my purchase

This shoe is very cute except that it does not fit like my other Birks of same size and regular width marking. this shoe is longer from arch to heel and shorter from arch to toe. it is also narrower in width, the edge of my foot is resting on the outside edge of the sole. if I rest my heel in the heel cup, the arch is too far forward. if I rest my arch on the arch in the insole, my toes are stepping off the front of the shoe. so disappointing.

The look is good, but the toe piece is uncomfortable, at least on the first few wearings. I'm trying to break them in, and I hope the toe piece will soften up over time. The sandals are also a bit stiff. Again, I hope they become more comfortable, like the other 700 pairs of Birkenstocks I own! :)

I love the look of these platform birkenstocks and wanted to have them fit! They are really cute!! I have another pair of birks that I wear all the time and I am trying to replace. I thought the platform would be perfect for me to add a little height. However, these are a little longer than my other birks, but also extremely tight around the toes--so much so that I felt I couldn't get my foot completely into the shoe, leaving a good inch of shoe ahead of my toes. The width of these shoes are generous, as are most birkenstocks, but the space between the shoe bed and the straps is very shallow. Also the shoes are stiff and hard, so not nearly as comfortable to walk in as my old (non platform) birks.

Like the platform style. Ordered the 6-6.5. Footbed was too long. Deciding if I should order smaller size. Tightened the buckle, but too uncomfortable between the toes.

I think they are too hard!

I have ordered Birkenstock?s by Papillio before and they fit perfectly. This Gizeh Platform Vegan was a little big and it was the same size as my previous order. This particular style runs a little big.

It takes time to get adjusted to fit. A bit hard ..but i guess with wearing them they will soften up. I wish they were colourful !!!

I ordered2prs in the same exact style. The black ones are perfect as this is the size I wear in this shoe. These white ones are too tight on the the top of my foot and pull on the area between my toes. These may be mismarked?

The flap on top of the toe is bothersome. Returning the shoe

These are not Berkenstock's; they are made by another company and being sold as a Berkenstock shoe. The quality is poor and made with cheap materials. They are extremely uncomfortable and stiff causing pain in my feet. At a $100.00 price tag they are just plain ripping people off. I am very disappointed in the quality and Berkenstock for their obvious misrepresentation.

Stiff, narrow, man material does not give.

I really wanted to like these, and they’re cute in the online picture, but I just can’t get over the fact that the thong part covers most of my big toe/toenail. I think it looks weird.

didn't like the look

I have a horrible blister from these between my toes, which does not happen to me often. The spot where the thong toe trip meets the leather is rubbing against my skin. They are very cute, but I cannot wear them.

Birkenstock’s Gizeh in Birko-Flor, but from 6 years ago when strap over instep wasn’t so loooong!

The platform means these sandals have no flexibility. The strap is still too long if you have a low arch. Also, I prefer Birko-Flor’s sheen to this Gizeh in Vegan by Papillio. Shall be returning this pair.

These shoes look awesome but the strap on the top of the sandal was very stiff and uncomfortable. I'm probably more sensitive to this because I have arthritis in my feet and the nerve that runs on top of my foot is easy to irritate. Because the strap pulled and rubbed the top of my foot, it was uncomfortable walking in them and, alas, I had to return them.

I returned these shoes. Was not happy with the raised sole & shoes just did not feel comfortable. I exchanged for a different UGGS style.
