Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor™ - Graceful

These are a great summer shoe. Nice enough to wear with a casual dress. I got a lot of compliments.

Fit Great!

I’ve bought these sandals, annually and in various colors, for almost a decade. Last summer I strayed and bought a different style Birkenstock. I loved them (because they’re Birkenstock’s) but I knew I’d made a mistake. This summer, back to the Gizeh!

I purchased my first pair of this style Birk in Germany in 1997, still perfect fit and high quality!

Trendy yet comfy sandals. After a full day I had some small blisters but think the sandals just needed to be broken in.

I have not worn them yet. I decide to save them as a Christmas gift from the big guy in Red. I live in Jersey and figured I wasn’t going to get a lot of wear in the next couple of weeks before it became Uggs weather vs Berks weather. My daughter has 3 pair; all in different colors and styles. I know that I will be very happy with my purchase.

I get comments about how great these shoes are...... Birks definitely get kids to Not think traditional Birks but I wore as what my Mom wore. Birk to me to me seems to have tuned into a New generation of kids wanting a More selection. xoxo

Fit is perfect. I’d say they are true to size.

I have the more traditional two-strap Birkenstocks but in an effort not to look like a hippy everywhere I go, I opted for these in the patent leather black in the same size (40), but with a narrow width. I usually wear a 9-9.5 in US sizes. I love these shoes. Yes, it takes a few days to adjust to the toe strap, but you can live through it. I exercise a lot, and have developed plantar faciitis as a result. I feel ZERO pain in these sandals, and could not recommend them highly enough.

Bought these in my usual size 7-7.5 (38) and they were too large, so I returned and bought in 37 - muuch better. I recommend buying a size down from my experience. Love these!!

Fantastic! I wear a 9, sometimes 9.5. The 39 fit perfect. Incredibly comfortable

This is my fourth day for these Gizehs - Regarding the plastic toe thong part - First day - several hours of wearing, in between toes at the base were pretty sore. No calluses or blisters, just achey right at the v between the toes. Day two, I wrapped the base of the the thong part with a strip of flimsy silacone from an old pair of toe spacers I had to buffer the thong and help the ache. Walked in them for about an hour on concrete. Day three, put them on and the ache was gone, thong part not noticeable anymore. I think it's just a new sensation that in between your toes need to get used to... I did stretch the base of the flexible/plastic thong from side to side slowly and carefully a few times, flexing it, gently not to compromise the quality of the foot bed. I'm happy I hung in there. ALSO GREAT NEWS - no plantar fasciitis pain from the weekend!!! I didn't even have to stretch my feet last night. That means, these are corrective as well as comfortable. It's nice to make sure the leather strap is snug, not tight of course. They feel really comfortable, snug and secure. Saving money to get some black ones (I chose Tobacco and they are nicely neutral, goes with much) I forgot to mention, another reason I chose this shoe/sandal is because all of my black and navy darker colored rubber flip flops not only gave me great pain at end of day, but my feet were always discolored. From rubber! Yuk. This won't happen with foot bed on these -

Had to return the first order with my usual size becauee the rim of the shoe was scrunching my toes. I sized up and it took about 2 weeks to break them in. Very uncomfortable at first, but I knew they would be. Now they're my go to sandals. No back pain and no foot pain. I've had plantar fasciitis and have to be very careful when choosing shoes. Also, wide feet with bunions. I wear these to work and even around the house instead of walking barefoot to prevent foot and back pain. Very happy with these shoes. I got the licorice black. Very nice.

First pair of Birkenstocks and I love them!

I went to a pediatrist for an Achilles bone spur. He recommended Birkenstocks because of the arch supports. The price is good compared to SAS shoes.

Actually for my 12 yo daughter. At this age they want to wear cheap flip flops... we all did... but if you kid has high arches, no arches, is hyperflexible in the feet, or is perhaps overweight... they really do need more support for their feet in the long run. And also some barefoot time!! They are also stylish and even though they are sandles, feet stay reasonably warm down to the 60f.

I love these! I’m on my third pair— I just keep buying new ones every year or so!

Another wonderful pair of Birkenstock’s to add to my collection!

So supportive and comfortable! I can wear these all day without heel pain.

So comfy! Love them

This is my second pair of these shoes - I love them! I usually wear 7.5/8 and ordered the 38 (which says it is 7/7.5). They fit perfectly.

Omg, I love these-wear them almost all summer!

Super nice and comfortable

I read the reviews prior to purchasing the Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor, and I am very pleased that I did so. They were right - you do need to go down one size. I am a US 8 (European size 39); I ordered a European size 38 for these sandals and the fit was perfect. I have wide feet, and the Regular fit was fine as well. A lot of the reviews also stated that these sandals needed to be broken in. I complied as well, and initially wore them inside the house for several hours, and I did this for a couple of days. It took a bit more time for the thong part on the right sandal (the part hitting in between the big toe and the 2nd toe) to become more comfortable, so just be patient. The support of the sandal's footbed feels so good. I love this somewhat more modern Birkenstock style, and I am extremely pleased with my purchase.
