Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor™ - Graceful

Disappointed! I was very disappointed that this sandal didn't fit. It felt a half size smaller and my toes particularly on my left foot were hanging over the shoe, I normally wear a 8 1/2 so that’s why I ordered the 39, going to send them back for a 40 I just hope they are not too big, over all I like the look of the shoe, comfort was a key priority for me because I have a bunion and flat feet, hope the larger size is a better fit.

Cute, and give support. I love this shoe. I've had many Birkenstocks through the years, and I know they need an adjustment period; they don't feel comfortable right away. Once you've "molded" them to your own feet, however, I believe they're great. I wore this particular pair to work for 8 hours right off the bat, with no problems, and I've received many compliments on my "cute" shoes. I think they provide good support, and are a healthy alternative to the popular inexpensive flip flops, so I plan to buy a second pair in a different color.

The best sandal of all - I purchased a Birkenstock Gizeh in 2003 and I have worn them ever since. I wore them all summer and then in winter wore them in the house at all times. They fit my feet the same as a glove would fit my hands. I have arthritis and have to wear orthotics in my shoes; but with my Birkenstock Gizeh, orthotics are not necessary. Mine are in the color mango, which I love.

A bit bigger then expected, but great. I usually wear either an 8 or an 8.5 and I purchased the recommended size... definitely a bit too big. With the correct size though, the sandals are fantastic. The arch support is just right for me - I don't have high arches, but I do like good support. Ratings are all a 5, but for the smaller size.

Great sandal - I love them, but wish they carried a wide size. My wide feet spill over the edge. Nonetheless, I wear them every day.

Very happy with the red - Love the color and feel of this shoe. So comfortable great arch support, get so many compliments on them people can't get over they are really Birkenstock's because they are so cute. Got narrow because that is all they had in the red and they fit fine.

I "heart" Gizeh - This sandal is great! Looks cool and it's so comfy. I have been wearing them non-stop since they arrived! After reading all the reviews, I ordered a size down and a narrow. They fit like a glove. Thank you Zappos!

Very comfortable, nice color. I'm quite pleased with the shoe as I was looking for an attractive sandal with good support.

I could walk miles and miles in these shoes. This is my second pair of Gizahs. Fantastic. I normally wear a size 9 (40), but always purchase 39 in Birks.

Addicted to Birks - Ordered yesterday afternoon and got them today. Amazing service! I got the red patent. They are soo pretty. I painted my toe nails in a matching red. Oh yeah, pretty feet. Happy feet. Happy customer. Love you, Zappos!

Comfy - I love these! I usually hate things between my toes but these are awesome. I wore them around the house before I decided to keep them but after my trial run (before I went to bed) I had to keep them. My feet kill me after a long day at work and I look forward to changing into them as I am home almost as much as I look forward to going home!

Love them! I usually wear a 7 or 7 1/2, but found I needed a 37 not a 38 in these shoes (I can't remember if that's typical of Birks). Fit perfectly, very comfy, and cute. More substantial than a strappy sandal, but not as caveman-ish as other Birks. One of the few slides that don't hurt my back. I'm very happy.

Love! Got these today, less than 24 hours after ordering, as is wonderfully usual with Zappos! Got golden brown, regular width, 39. I agree with an earlier reviewer that the color is really pretty! Makes them slightly dressier and will probably match with more since they are definitely more metallic than brown. Super comfortable right out of the box – will not need as much break in as my other Birks. The underside of the strap is very soft. I have bad feet but these feel so great! Good arch support and the strap makes them feel very secure. Yay! (I'm usually a 9 in American shoes, but always a 39 in Birks, so I labeled these as larger than marked.)

Great - I love these shoes. They fit my narrow feet well, give support to the foot and are great for walking.

Birko-Flor #153 Birkenstock Gizeh - Loved them out of the box. Very, very comfortable.

Love this sandal! Love Birkenstocks. Love this sandal, it is cute and oooh so comfortable, very sturdy, and well made. Break in was a little rough as I don’t normally wear a thong sandal, but it was not unbearable. Love this sandal and I LOVE ZAPPOS. Fantastic service. Will definitely shop more with Zappos.

Great shoes! I love these Birks more than my previous pair. I ordered regular width, even though I have a narrow foot. The width is perfect and they look great with skirts, shorts, jeans, etc. And of course Zappos got them to me straight away!

Great Product But Break In Can Be Tough - This is a wonderful sandal. If you get the right color / finish, the sandal is actually very sheik. It surprises many to hear that these are Birks. I have foot problems and ended up picking this style over the Relax 100 and the Piazza. I've had no problems with the toe spacer. I did develop blisters on the soles of my feet during the break in period, which I suppose is par for the course. Otherwise, this is a great, great buy. Blisters and all, I'm loving them and still recommending them.

Love them - These are great sandals, my second pair in this style. I wear narrow and they are a true narrow fit. Many compliments!

Great sandals. I always thought of Birkenstocks as hippy shoes, but not anymore. These are stylish and comfortable. They're not too trendy so I can see me having them for a long time. They took awhile to break in, mainly because the little toe thong piece is a bit hard. After wearing them a few times for shorter stints I'm now able to wear them all day. Definitely worth the break-in period! I typically wear an 8.5 or 9 and ordered the 39 which fit perfectly. I have a normal width foot and ordered the regular Birkenstock width, which was also perfect.

Great Shoe, Great Service! I'm about to head off to Spain to study abroad and needed a great walking shoe, but also one that I could dress up or down, and that looked somewhat girly. This was a great choice! I've never owned a pair of Birkenstocks before, but I love them already. The break-in period is not as bad as the other reviews make it seem...I wore them around the house for 3 days and I'm good to go (it could be because I'm 20 years old, though...). And the thong sandal hasn't bothered my feet at all, and it probably won't bother yours if you're used to wearing flip flops. The golden brown color is really cool. The online picture doesn't do it justice...it's metallic and shimmery looking, a great feminine-looking shoe. I was turned off to the Arizona style, etc. because they seem manly, and this shoe is not at ALL manly...just comfy and sturdy. I can tell it will last forever, and take me through Europe!

Great shoe - I really like these shoes. I've been wearing them almost every day.

Perfect Sandal - I'm on my second pair of Gizeh’s and I wear them constantly (at work & home). My first pair was leather and took a good walk and a blister to break in. My second is made from BirkoFlor (in Mocha) and took no time to break in--so comfy out of the box! I'm so happy with this sandal and get many compliments. :)

I love Zappos - These sandals are very comfy and cute. Not too granola for me. I was very happily surprised when Zappos emailed my order confirmation and said I would receive my shoes by overnight delivery! Very good customer service, Zappos!
