Love these sandals for summer events and walking around town. I can stand for long periods of time without any aching feet.

LOVE Birkenstocks for reducing my foot pain from plantar fascists, and the Gizeh style in particular. They're stylish and well-made. The only issue I have is that, depending on the individual shoe, the thong placement can be just a tad too far back for my short toes. Each shoe's placement is minisculely different, so I've sent more than one pair back for an exchange to get a pair that has the thong a few millimeters far enough forward to not painfully rub the webbing between my toes (thank you Zappos!).

Consistently great pair of shoes. The true consistency of the Birkenstock size makes it so easy to make the purchase. Just know your size as these are European sizes and to feel amazing they need to fit correctly.

Great support! Unlike my other Gizeh, they didn’t need a break in period! I found that interesting. But I was happy nonetheless. Highly recommend! Beautiful take on a classic.

Great Birks, a little dressier than my usual. The tab on the top comes up a bit higher on the foot than I am used to, so it gave me a little blister at first, but then it softened up or my foot grew accustomed to it, and it was fine the rest of the summer. I've been wearing Birks since I got my first pair when I was 6 years old living in Germany, and there is nothing my picky feet like better!

These sandals are fantastic but they are too short and they are killing me in between the toes and underneath the flap that goes over the big toe.

What can I say? From the moment I put them on they were the best supportive sandal I have ever worn. I have owned them for 3 months now and I don't know how I did it without them all these years. I will definitely purchase a second pair.

I love these sandals. Like all Birkenstock sandals, they take some time to break in, but once they were broken in, they became so comfortable. I chose the braided Gizeh style in black. The braiding is a cool touch. The black goes with everything too. At first, the toe post was a little uncomfortable but I got used to it quickly.

These shoes are adorable looking. The reason I am returning them is because on the top of my foot where the braided piece meets, it is very uncomfortable and felt like it would cause a blister.

I have been wearing this particular style of Birkenstocks for over 30yrs and they are the original "podiatric " sandals. All others are very heavy in the footbed, but birkis are not! Very comfortable out oc the box. Love the braided style, got the rasberry, beautiful!

I love Birk's and this pair was no exception. I really like the Gizeh style in general and the braided with the leather is super cute.

I usually wear a size 7.5 and initially purchased the Gizah in 38. My previous pair is a 38, however they were too big. Returned to Zappos and got the 37. Fit is perfect. Love the arch support. Braid detail is fantastic. No complaints about the toe thong. It's just like my other Gizeh that I purchased 5 years ago. These will get a lot of wear this summer.
