online it looks like the color is just a less bright white. But in person, it has a pearly finish that I did not like. And in dark light, it looks apricot colored

Pretty underwhelming. I really wanted to love these but they seem narrower than other styles and I much prefer the softer footbed (worth the extra money if you ask me). A bit uncomfortable between the toes and seems like a place you could get a blister in warmer weather with extended use.

I absolutely love the look of these, but they were just not comfortable at all on my feet. The plastic thong was hard and uncomfortable. I'm sure if it was made out of leather or the same material as the rest of the sandal, they would have been great. I returned these and tried the Birkenstock Mayari instead. The Mayari look nice and are super comfortable. I broke them in within a day of wearing them.

I had high hopes for this sandal but unfortunately the toe post was extremely uncomfortable. It is plastic of some sort, but the problem is that is isn't round it is more blade shaped and believe me it felt like a blade between my toes. However, it did have a terrific footbed as do all Birkenstocks.

I really like the style and got the chance to purchase my first pair of Birkenstocks. However, not sure why but they're not exactly comfortable for me and I notice that I develop blisters easily in the top half of my feet. Although, if I don't wear them for too too long then it's not so bad.

Loved the color. I will be returning sandal was too large width was good. I won't be reordering because of the plastic that is used on the toe piece, very uncomfortable and cheapens the shoe

OK, so after wearing these for a week or so, I have the feeling I'm going to regret the purchase. They aren't as comfortable as I expected, but the color is cute and the style on trend. Just not convinced they were worth the sticker price, but now that I've worn them, I'm stuck.

Let me start by saying, I do love the Birkenstock brand. I'm a little confused on what to say about my black pair sizing. I returned my 1st pair due to size to big. Now I have 2nd pair and still feel they are to big. I do not want to go through another return. So I will try to hope I get use to them. I purchase a brown pair that fit like a glove.

Great style and footbed. The plastic thong between the toes is brutal. I almost sent them back after wearing them.

These sandals are very cute, but the plastic thong gave me blisters between my toes. I have not been able to wear them for several days because of this, so I don't know if my feet will adjust. I do like the footbed and the wide width. I'm wishing I would have purchased the Mayari style instead.

These are adorable and the silver color is perfect, not garish and shiny. But I found this style to be a bit too stiff for me. I could have broken them in but choose another similar style in Mephisto.

I love my Birkenstock Gizeh, I have had my pair for over eight years and finally bought a new pair. They do run a size bigger. I wear them all summer long and get a lot of complements on them. Can not go wrong with these sandles.

Should have headed the reviews. The plastic toe piece is just too hard and hurts.

I usually love anything Birkenstock makes but this one is going back. The piece between toes on this style is very uncomfortable. I'm returning these and getting a pair of white Birkenstock Mayari.

I was so excited to receive my first pair of Birkenstocks since everyone raves about them BUT unfortunately for me they were horribly uncomfortable,even after wearing 3 or 4 times. That said I will be promptly returning them. My instep was sore for two whole days after wearing them.

They are not comfortable out of the box but I know if you make the right adjustments and break them in that will change according to the other reviews but I didn't have enough time to do that before I needed to wear them.

I have to say, I am somewhat disappointed in Birkenstocks on this one. I bought the sandals in the spring since I've been told regular flip flops aren't that great for your feet. Sadly, by the end of the season, the cork was cracking on the sides! One season is ridiculous for $100 pair of shoes. I contacted Birkenstock and they told me I had to contact Zappos. Of course Zappos is amazing and exchanged them but I was a little annoyed with Birkenstock, they should be standing by their product a little more than that. After this happened, I began to notice that the cracking is on a lot of peoples shoes in this style... bummer

I ordered these sandals to wear on weekends and at work with sundresses. When they came I wore them all day at work and got a blister under my toe from the strap. Was surprised since I am used to wearing flip flops. I guess I should have taken advice on breaking them in. I also wanted brown and ordered toffee from the picture which are actually a golden brown rather than chocolate brown. I will try thrm again after my blister heals.

Love the shoe. However, the tong between the big toe and second toe is not leather, it's plastic and hurts mu big toe. At first I thought I could wear it in but realized it was plastic not leather.

Comfortable shoe, excellent price; not as comfortable as a mephisto but it is a fraction of the price.

I followed the suggested size and it was enormous. I'm a true size 6, rarely a 6.5 and I ordered the 37 and it was huge. Like two sizes too big.

As far as arch support and a firm sole go these shoes were just what I was looking for. I agree with the other reviews that the piece that goes in between the toes is very uncomfortable. I would not wear these for a full day of walking.

I was unsure at first due to the price and the amount of time it takes to break in. However I love them. After wearing them my toes feel more comfortable. At first I thought I needed to go up a size which I'm already an 11 so would have been annoyed. I would avoid wearing them on long walks before breaking them in as it can hurt during the first week of so. Once your foot is molded from the wear they are so comfortable. I recommend tighten the buckle while breaking them in so you have better footing. I gave overall 3 cause of the break in period. Love the style
