Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Braided - Oiled Leather

The first pair I bought in my typical size 38 were too big. So I had to return those and get a size 37. They fit perfectly. I have been wearing them for a couple of months now so they’re for sure “broken in”. I guess I just don’t understand the hype about these shoes. I don’t find myself reaching for them. I prefer my TOMS or Sketchers. Which is a huge bummer because I paid the big price tag for the supposed comfort. I have high arches and I feel like they are supported but not any more so than my other shoes. I would not do it again if I had the choice.

I love the shoe. Don’t love the price. It’s cute and comfortable. The blue is very stylish!

I loved how these looked but they were terribly uncomfortable. The toe separator is down right painful! Also, the braided leather rubbed my foot completely raw in one spot after only wearing the sandals for about an hour. It took almost a week to heal the spot that was rubbed! Due to this I ended up returning them.

Besides being too large, it also was too wide for my foot. If you have a wide foot I'm sure it would be comfortable. Too bad for me.

Got blisters from the braided strap unfortunately will have to return as much as I wanted them.

The hard rubber piece that runs between the toes from the leather upper strap in too hard and uncomfortable and I wear flip-flops all the time.

Even with the sandals being regular width my foot is not "cradled" entirely. With my other purchases of birkies the narrow width fits great. New sizing - width - is odd.

The fit is exactly like my other Birkenstocks but the leather piece between the toes is rough and I know would hurt after walking any distance. Pretty color and cute style, but I'll stick with the Arizona.

The soles are so hard they hurt my feet and toes.

I am really bummed I purchased these. They hurt my feet so bad due to lack of any cushion whatsoever. I have arthritis and was told they would be good for my feat, but the pain is more than I can handle. I spent so much on these stupid things and now I can’t wear them. 3 tries was all I could take. The floor is more comfortable in my feet. So sad I’m out $140:(

Unfortunately the toe part seems to be made of plastic and is very uncomfortable.

Worst shoes I have ever bought. Wore for about a minute and got the worst blister ever.

I’m always a size 6. Ordered these in a 36 per usual and they fit perfectly.!

Very comfortable and better with time.

This could work for a narrow foot, which I have. The only color available was green - it's ok, but I found what I wanted on another site. I actually almost kept these.

true to size and a fantastic color!

Good quality

I love this shoe - have several in different colors. So comfortable and easy, but, I think the braided elevates it a level to make it appropriate more often!

I wore them all summer. They are so stinking cute!

I can never go wrong with Birks! Great fit and comfort!!!

I love these sandals! The minute the temperature hits 70° they do not come off my feet until Pumpkin spice lattes are back on the menu! Just bought my second pair!

As soon as I put these on I didn't want to take them off! The foot bed felt great on my feet. The suede upper will need to break in a little but should soften up nicely. The olive color is so versatile.

Super cute! I love the color and I already like the Gizeh fit and style.

Love the turquoise color! So cute

I have been wearing birks for years and these fit just like all of my other pairs. They look great and I can wear them literally all day. Super happy with this purchase and I know they will last forever.
