Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Big Buckle High Shine

I have small, narrow feet, and these look huge on me. I was bummed because I can wear the original style, and pull those off. These just don’t work for a thin, narrow foot, in my opinion. :(

I loved these sandals in the cognac color, on my daughter, and wanted the same shoes. I tried them on for size and the fit was good, so I ordered the same size she had. The cognac is sold out everywhere so I went with the white. The white looked very cheap and the shoe was not comfortable, a little too narrow even for my narrow foot. The leather was very hard. I had to return these.

Beautiful sandals with a perfect fit from day one. True to size. These are getting a 3-star rating because within 30 days of purchase (occasional wear) the thong came off the shoe (right shoe) and rendered them useless. In the few minutes leading to the shoes falling apart, the metal cut into my foot. The thong is plastic and the hardware that secures it is metal. It didn't hold up. I've owned several pair of Birkenstocks and these are the first that have fallen apart. I returned the for a full refund and I keep admiring the style, but I'm hesitant with this style (and possibly this brand) in the future.

This shoe didn't fit like my other Birkenstocks, these seem to run much bigger I had to return them

Leather was very stiff and I needed time to break it in but now softening and more comfortable.

I was very disappointed in these shoes. They appeared cheap to me.

Love the look of this shoe but beware the toe divider is a hard plastic and very uncomfortable. I put some moleskin around it. Wish I would of known this, would have not ordered.

I was looking forward to getting these, but was disappointed w/ the feel when I slid my feet into them. They had support, but felt hard on my arches.

Loved the look of these but they were much smaller than any other Birkenstock’s I have. I’ve worn a 37 in birks for as long as I can remember. These showed up and were much shorter and narrower than my other pairs. Not sure if the next size or two up would work since they don’t have them available in those sizes.

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.

OMG. The new plastic thingy between the toes is BRUTAL!!! It isn't flexible nor comfortable. I am so disappointed becausse the sandal is otherwise cute.

Size was correct, but felt very uncomfortable. I sent them back.

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!

Prettier than others in the brand, but still clunky and earthy looking, which wasn’t what I was going for. Didn’t keep.

The fit was much different than my other pair of Gizeh. May be me or may be the shoes, either way I am sadly returning them.

Button between the toes was too tight; made it impossible to wear.

I have these in three colors but, this new style with the white sole and big buckle is NOT comfortable. Boo.

Loved these but they showed up with the leather already scuffed looking so they are going back.

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.

These run very narrow. I gave other Gizeh’s, but the big buckle style runs narrow.

This is my 1st pair of Burkenstocks. The shoe is hard and just not comfortable fit. I was disappointed in the comfort of the sandal for what I paid. I do notice the ones I have are leather inside and the original are cloth. Not sure if that matters. Also maybe the thong as oppose to the over two straps across the foot. I know I don't want to spend another $100 dollars to find out.

These run narrow! I have other Gizeh’s in the same size and the big buckle run smaller / much narrower. Such a disappointment that Birkenstock cannot make their sizing consistent. Will be returning.

I love the idea of these, but they just aren’t fulfilling my expectations in the way they look on my feet Birks are a wonderful sandal - these just aren’t the right style for my feet

so hard!!!! UGH NOt comfortable at all no flexability
