Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Big Buckle High Shine

These shoes were not too big or too small, they were just ill fitting. The toes do not fit in the normal birkenstock spot and the toe piece was made of the most uncomfortable, stiff material. Choose another Birkenstock for your summer update.

I loved the shoe, but the fit was to short and to narrow. In a birkenstock I always wear a 42, but because of this style I thought I would go up a size for more toe room, however it didn't work. I really hated to return and the only reason I am giving it 2 stars is because my toes rubbed the end of the shoe.

I have these in the matte leather and for some reason the arches in the high shine hurt my feet! Too bad because they’re really cute!

fine, I didn't like the part between my toes-it was very uncomfortable

I have about 10 pairs of birkenstocks in my closet but most were purchased more than 5 years ago. I am so disappointed in the current styles as they are not wide enough for me. I am a 7.5 WW. The earlier versions (I always buy Gizeh or Mayori) had more give and the footbed quickly conformed to my wide feet. This smooth leather bottom is stiff and hurt my feet. Not comfortable. Also feels like it would get slippery when humid.

liked better off than on, the middle toe strap is very uncomfortable, first pair of birkenstocks i have found not to be comfortable

Beautiful however I am wide width and have several pair in different Colors, however this pair was tight

Although the fit and size were fine, I did not like the white sole in person as much as I did from the picture. Additionally, I did not like the look of the plastic toe piece; I didn't wear them so I can't speak to the comfort of the plastic toe thong.

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.

These are really cool, but very uncomfortable in between my toes. It’s true that I don’t always love a toe thong, but these are particularly uncomfortable. I will return them and get the other style.

I ordered my size based on the European sizing which I generally find more helpful when I’m not sure whether I am an 8.5 or a 9. These were comically large on me. Definitely run large, not true to size.

They have made changes in the footbed size. I can't find one that fits like my old Birks. I like the older sizing.

They hurt my feet

They weren’t too small as much as they were a little too short and my toes were hitting the sides. I unfortunately think I already wear the biggest size they come in. Also, the leather on both sandals was scratched - one of them quite a bit.

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.

This particular style for Birkenstock did not fit my narrow feet as well and the standard Birkenstock sandal. Returned and ordered the standard style.

This style fit my right foot okay, but was too big/loose on my left foot. I have a 1/2 size difference. The color was not as brilliant as it appeared online.

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.

The part that goes between your toes is a very hard and unforgiving piece of plastic. All of my other Burks are full leather. These were not just uncomfortable between the toes, they were painful.

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 really love this shoe, however, it was way too narrow for me. I have pretty wide feet and I ordered a 40. 41 was way too long. I was pretty disappointed. I am ordering a different Birkenstock sandal to try though.

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.

I loved the look of these sandals, but the arch at the toe line cut into my foot. I have worn birks for years and they never did this to me. I tried a smaller size and it still hurt my foot. I also did not like the plastic part between the toes. That hurt as well. Sorry they didn't work because I loved the color and the large buckle.
