Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor™ - Graceful

The absolute most uncomfortable shoes I’ve ever had the displeasure of having on my feet. I’m giving “comfort” one star because they wouldn’t let me give zero stars.

I’m so disappointed - these sandals really hurt. The spot where my toe touches the middle thong (between toes) is so rough my toe was bloody and burning after walking in them for just a few blocks. Size is fine - I’m not wearing a size too small. The materials used are just not good. Not at all what I expected from birks.

This is the 4th pair of Birkenstock sandals I have owned. Normally I love them and buy the exact style and color every time. However, this time, within a few weeks of wearing the strap cracked. It's like the leather was brittle. Something was certainly made differently with this pair of Birkenstocks than previous purchases. Returning and disappointed the quality seems to have changed.

The plastic toe thong hurt my feet unfortunately

fit was bigger than usual

They are very hard to break in and not comfortable.

Got these today and I immediately knew the hard plastic between toes will never give, very uncomfortable

Could not get the sizing on these right. I normally wear a US 10 and am almost always an EU 41. Order these in 42,41, and 40, based on reviews. 41 was loose even on tightest setting. Size 40 felt nice and snug but was like a millimeter too short. That won’t work with Birks. Unfortunately, I’ll have to return all 3

Fit seemed ok but the plastic piece between my toes was terribly uncomfortable and I knew I'd never get used to it. My daughter has these and loves them, and they look really cute. I love Birckenstocks but these didn't work.

Along with these shoes being a used/return pair the toe post was very uncomfortable. I was disappointed & sent them back!

The toe post was very uncomfortable & these shoes had been worn….. I was disappointed because Birkenstock is expensive & this sale doesn’t represent them so Zappos you better shape up or get kicked to the curb!

The back fit but my toes kept hitting the front and going over the front part. Any bigger and they would have been huge.

The shoes had two black spots on upper left and because of the buckles being open&uncovered probably a returned product. I have other Birkenstock so I’m aware of how they come packaged. Very unhappy& disappointed!!! Not what I expect from Zappos!!!

While I loved the look and style of these sandals, the post between the toes was made of plastic and very, very uncomfortable. They had to be returned.

The Birkenstock I received were counterfeit products. They weren’t in the Birkenstock box when delivered. They didn’t have the debossed logos, and the leather was thin. Overall, the sandals weighed less than the genuine items I own. VERY DISAPPOINTING! DO NOT BUY Birkenstock from Zappos!!!

I wish I could exchange or return, but I’ve worn them twice. I was hoping my feet would get used to the toe bar between my toes, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. It’s just painful. These are so pretty but soooo uncomfortable. I’m bummed I wasted $100.

these were a terrible fit. I always wear Birkenstock Gizeh-Flor but have never purchased them from Zappo before and I won't again. I'll buy them at a Birkenstock stock were I will get fitted. I have trouble with buying shoes from Zappo the shoes never seem to fit properly.

I loved these shoes. I ordered them a while ago but haven't worn them much since I live in upstate NY. This summer, the sole came apart from the cork footbed. I'm so disappointed in the quality. I've many, many pairs of Birks and LOVE them. But, for the amount of money they cost, they should not fall apart like this.

My first pair 3 years ago were super comfortable. Very minimal break in. The 2nd pair I bought a year ago are incredibly uncomfortable. Still not broken in. It feels like I am standing on a hard golf ball where a comfortable arch should be. Horrible. Wish I had returned instead of thinking they would break in.

way too rigid, gave me a giant sore on bottom of foot. Returned.

I have two pairs of Gizeh in Graceful Toffee & Insignia Blue; both fit perfectly when straps are buckled in the next-to-tightest hole. I want the same sandal in Licorice, but the straps across instep are longer toward the arch and toward the buckle. The Birko-Flor material is now cut using a different pattern. Why?!? How can I get a pair cut the same as the two pairs I have? Please help!? Will you notify Birkenstock for me and for all of us with low arches? Our insteps sit lower in a shoe and the longer straps don’t work! Thank you!

The thong broke within 3 hours of me putting these sandals on for the first time. I had walked from my car to a restaurant (couple of yards) and we then went for a quick stroll after dinner. Within minutes of leaving the restaurant, my foot hurt. I looked down to see my toes scratched and the thong broken - the cap that ties the leather thong together had fallen off. I’m hoping this was a one off and not an indication of poor quality. My previous version of these sandals lasted for years. I only replaced them because the soles were so worn out. Zappos customer service are sending me a new pair. I hope they last, or else I’ll have to completely switch to Taos and Troentorp

Unfortunately this pair were both defected and I sent them back.

Disappointed in the hard sole.

Hurt my feet
