So comfortable! I have horrible plantar fasciitis and chronic foot pain. I struggle with finding the right shoes that aren't sneakers. I ordered these and love them. They are cute. Took a few days to break in, but now are like slippers.

These sandals are the best! Just to let you know when you first put them on they will hurt for several days until they adjust to your foot. After that they are so comfortable.

This is my first pair of Birkenstock shoes and now I am wondering why I waited so long. I took these on a trip to Sicily recently and wore them almost every day. Great walking shoes. Super cute, comfy, and great support. I'm now trying to decide what color my next pair will be!

I love these! I bought them because I am pregnant and walk to work. I wanted a comfortable yet stylish walking shoe to get me there and back. They are awesome, a little glam and a lot comfy! I highly recommend them and will be ordering more Birks in the future.

Best shoe ever! I have plantar fascitis and it's difficult to find summer shoes.
The Gizeh is very supportive and comfy, my feet have healed tremendously from giving up flip flops and strictly wearing these in the summer. They take a few weeks to break in and not feel so hard, but once they form to your foot, they are amazing.

Love my silver Birkenstock Gizehs! I've been wearing them just about every day, and get compliments on them all the time. Just plain comfortable and go with everything for the summer! I am a size 7 in all shoes and got the 37 after talking to someone who already has them. They fit great! Just FYI though, straight out of the box they feel uncomfortable at first. I almost sent mine back...but my sister told me I had to break them in, so I wore them around the house for an hour and they were perfect! Haven't taken them off since!

Well, you can't really go wrong with Birkenstocks. One of my other pairs is 20+ years old and still going. These are quite a bit more stylish and seem more streamline. A bit thinner than my Arizonas, they still fit my slightly wide foot perfectly. I did not have a problem/pain with the toe thong as others have mentioned, but I do notice it's there. These are very attractive and look great with anything: from shorts to a summer dress. They feel quite secure when they're on unlike some other shoes in this style.

I had to order three pairs of these shoes before I got the right fit, but it was worth it! Many reviews say that this shoe runs big, so I ordered a size smaller than I normally would. For me the length was true to size. However, I do think they run wide. I know I have narrow feet, but I do not generally buy narrow shoes - they simply don't make that many, so I ignore the issue and wear the regular shoes. The narrow Birks are perfect for me, though! I can tell that the break in period will be a little bit of a struggle - these shoes are stiff, and have a lot more support than anything I've worn before. Last summer I broke in a pair of Rainbow sandals, and it was well worth the work.

WHY WHY cant Birkenstock make the thing between the toes, in the Gizeh, a soft leather...not that darn hard plastic. I had to take mine back because of that. This is funny, when I complained direct to Birkenstock there suggestion was I use an emory board and file down the plastic OR use mole shin on my toes. REALLY? CAN you believe it? Why not just make them with a soft something...especially at the price they want for them.

I love how they feel, how they look. At the beginning I felt that they were a little hard to break but after few times of few minutes of use I just love them!

My new go-to sandal!
My ONLY issue with the fit was that my toes touched the edge of the sandals when I walked, but the cork is very forgiving so part of my "breaking in" phase was pushing down on the edge of the shoes by my toes and we are good to go. Birks always need a period of time to get broken in perfectly, so I was not bothered by this at all.

I sustained a 2nd degree burn to my left foot a few weeks ago and not one pair of shoes in my closet were comfortable. I saw someone wearing this style and realized I needed them in my life! Purchasing these shoes was the best decision I've made in a long time. I wore Birkenstocks while in college in the 80s and over the years "we lost touch." I'm so glad to be re-acquainted, I LOVE these shoes! I also own the Gizeh in black patent. The new styles are fierce, I'll be ordering another pair very soon! By the way, my burn is almost completely healed. Cheers to Birkenstock!!!

Love these Birks. I have two pairs now and love them both (Silver and Gold). They're a little stiff at first but mold right to your feet pretty quickly.

These are incredibly comfortable shoes. I was a little nervous ordering the European sizes but if you follow the sizing chart you can't go wrong. The color is very flattering and goes with most outfits. They are a little pricey, but worth it!

Finally -- Birks that fit my size 5 foot! This is a great looking shoe, and so comfortable. I've tried numerous Birk styles, but all ran large. I normally wear a medium, but the Gizeh Birko-Flor 35 Narrow does the trick. I will order these in other colors.

I debated about the patent or flat black in the Gizeh. I went with the patent and am so glad. You can dress it up or down. Birkenstock takes some getting use to but I can walk all day with these and other Birks and have no foot pain at the end of the day. Thong part on these take a few wears to soften.

A great new addition to my Birkenstock summer rotation. Awesome comfort and support with a little different style. I wish the toe strip wasn't plastic - a little uncomfortable at first, but already getting used to it after one wearing. Love the Toffee color - nice, rich brown with a tint of gold. Birkenstock & Zappos - an unbeatable pair!

I love these! Some people complained of the plastic toe piece, but if you like to wear flip flops you'll love these. If you are a flip flop hater, you'll probably hate these too. These have been comfortable since day 1. I like that I can wear these to brunch or for running errands, they are just a half step dressier than other options.

Great shoes! I have several pair and wear them all summer. They are comfortable, but not for walking miles and miles. I have wide feet and these are wide enough. Toe divider is padded for extra comfort.

These shoes really lived up to standards. Super comfy, true to size. They look a little bulky on my narrow feet, but that's to be expected with Birks. Don't hesitate, and BUY!

I am obsessed with these sandals! They were super comfortable right out of the box and I love the support they provide. I also think they are absolutely adorable. I bought them in black and I am already debating if I need them in another color. Sizing- Like most other reviews have mentioned, these do right BIG! I am usually a 6.5 and had to order these in a 36 which is for sizes 5-5.5.

I have very low arches and my feet hurt if I wear shoes with poor support or (heaven forbid) go barefoot. These have excellent support and are very comfortable! They did take about a week to break in.

I love the shoe, but feel the color is a little misleading. It should be called something closer to pearly or metallic olive. I'm happy because I actually like this color better than the gray I was expecting with "titanium," but it's definitely green.

I never ever write reviews, but I had to write something about these amazing Birkenstock Gizeh. These are by far the most comfortable sandals I have worn. They are supportive and they feel great on my feet. If you've never worn Birkenstocks, you might want to walk around at home for a day to get used to the support/footbed. I wear a size 7, I ordered the 37 and it's the perfect fit. Also, Zappos customer service is by far the best in their business. They are nice, friendly and always so cheerful. Plus they have the best return policy. I have already gotten 2 of my co-workers to order their Gizeh's from Zappos.
