Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor™ - Graceful

I could not be happier with this purchase! I have been thinking about getting a pair of Birkenstocks for a while now since they have really come back into style, and this summer seemed like the perfect time since I am expecting my fourth child and my feet are so tired! These look so cute on and could not be more comfortable. I have worn them nearly every day since receiving them a couple of weeks ago, and have gotten so many compliments on them! The only issue was sizing - I wear a 6.5, so ordered the 37 based on the size chart. They were way too big, but the 36s were perfect, and, as always, an exchange through Zappos was very simple.

I am a huge fan of the Gizeh sandal. I have three pairs myself and bought another for my niece for her birthday, and she loved them! Seriously, these are my go to sandals every day of the summer and with the cool silver and other great colors, they are funky enough to wear out. They fit perfectly, have amazing Birkenstock support and fit, really comfortable thong feature. Just get a pair now, you will not be sorry!

Love these! Originally bought in titanium because wanted a darker silver or metal color but they look green! I sent them back and got the silver. Love the sandal, had to get a different color.

This review is for the narrow version of this shoe. Love these shoes! They are the perfect marriage of comfort and style. Birkenstocks take a little bit of time to break in, but once they do they are so comfy! I live in NYC and walk a lot, and I needed shoes that were supportive but still cute - these were (and still are) perfect. Highly recommend!

I love this shoe. Stylish and comfortable. The shoe is perfect in every way except for the sizing chart. I am a woman's 7 or a 7.5 in all of my shoes. So I ordered the 38, which says is equal to a 7-7.5. They were huge. I went down a size and tried the 37, which says is equal to a 6-6.5. Still way too big. I am going to try the 36. It says they are equal to a 5-5.5. Maybe in men's sizes I am a 5, but not in a woman's. If the sizing chart is indeed men's U.S. sizes, then you need to specify those details. I assumed that because it is a women's shoe, the corresponding U.S. shoe size is also a woman's. Here's to trying a third time.

I always love Birkenstocks and these sandals are not different. No braking time for me, great out of the box. Very cute with shorts, capris or skirts. I am coming back for another color pretty soon.

Comfortable and cute! These are exactly what I was looking for. I might have to get a few more pairs in other colors. Love them!

This sandal style is a classic from Birkenstock. I found the 42N fit my 11N foot quite well. It was not an extreme narrow. My previous pair of these lasted a good three summers of hard wear and tear. They can be shiny enough for casual dressy, or they can just be a shiny perk to your play day clothes.

I am in love with these shoes! After foot surgery, my doctor told my flats and flip flops were out of the picture. Devastated, I began looking for the next best thing. These are outrageously comfortable and supportive. There was relatively no "break in" period. I will say that the color I have (the antique lace) was not what i thought. I thought it was a soft cream, but its actually has an off white, shiny look.

I ordered the Gizeh sandals in white and I love them! There are a couple of issues that other reviewers mentioned which I would like to address. First, the plastic thong piece did not bother me at all as other reviewers claimed. I am used to wearing flip flops and other sandals with toe pieces so I agree that this could contribute to me not noticing the plastic piece on these Gizeh sandals. I have a pair of Birkenstock Florida sandals with the soft footbed and I was worried that these Gizeh sandals would be too hard compared to the soft footbeds but they were not. They required slightly more break in time but I wore the sandals for a couple hours at a time almost every day for a week and never experienced blisters. I do agree with other reviews that these sandals have more arch support than the soft footbed sandals do. I wear a size 7.5-8 consistently and ordered a 38 in these sandals, the same as my Florida pair, and did not have a problem with them being too big. These sandals are easy to wear and match with so many outfits because I ordered the white. I highly recommend them and will be ordering another pair again soon!

This is my second pair of the Gizehs, and I absolutely love them. I wear these now instead of flip-flops due to a hip injury. They fit well in all the right places and are very supportive. I want them in every color!

I purchased these after having plantar fascia surgery on my right foot, as I needed something with firm arch support for my still-healing foot. These were perfect! They are *very* firm when you first wear them and it takes a bit of getting used to. Once you wear them a few days though they become very comfortable. I would recommend not fitting the adjustable straps too tight to begin with because the leather does stretch with wear and you will end up adjusting them tighter the more you wear them.

Love the color and very comfortable. I have problem with other flip flops because my feet slide and cause friction sores on my toes. My feet don't move in these because of the arch support.

Love my silver Birkenstocks! Wear them all the time. Order a size down though, they run very big! I wear a 7.5/8, so I ordered up to the 8/8.5 just to be sure. They wear huge! Returned them for the smaller size and even those have some room in the heal.

I love these shoes! They are very comfortable, supportive, and stylish. I wear them every day! It took me a couple of days to get used to the toe strap.

Just purchased these. Very cute sandal. Still need time to mold it to my feet. It takes a few times of wearing before that happens. Then they are super comfy. I am normally a size 6 1/2 - 7. I've had a pair of Birks that were a 37 and they were huge. Definitely size down! I got a 36 which is a 5 1/2 and they fit perfect!

I normally wear an 8 or 8.5 but I wear the size 38 in Birkenstocks. I LOVE these shoes. I've had my eye on them for quite a while and finally bought a pair. These are comfortable enough to wear all day and the Licorice color is perfect. Not to shiny and not too matte. I will be living in those for several summers to come. I suffer with bunion pain and these actually offer some relief.

I heart these shoes. My feet are very narrow and sandals with a strap over the top of the foot rarely if ever fit. These are fantastic. Comfortable from the very beginning. No issues with the band between the toes.

I bought these sandals because I have Plantar Fasciitis, and needed comfortable shoes for summer. I knew Birks would work well for that problem, and I'm very happy with them. They're more stylish than other Birks, and go with everything I wear. There was a painful breaking in period of about two weeks. The toe piece needed time to soften and was very painful at first. It didn't hurt the insides of my toes, but the tops, which was weird. I stuck with it, and I'm so glad I did - they are now very comfortable, and I wear them all the time. Be prepared for a rough two weeks! I used moleskin on my toes to alleviate the pain, which helped.

Beautiful, feather-light sandals; go with any outfit. I'm between sizes (8.5-9 or 39-40), therefore I did some research, read some reviews, tried different styles at Bloomingdales' and decided to order regular, size 40. When the sandals arrived, they fit perfectly. I am contemplating getting Arizonas now. Love!

I love these sandals! I used to wear Birks like crazy, back in the day, but I have not had a pair in the last five years or so. Recently, I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, and am in need of more supportive shoes and sandals. So, I decided to try a new pair of Birkenstocks. These sandals are not only comfortable, but so much cuter than my many old pairs of Birks. I got the grey color, which is almost a metallic gunmetal color. I love it and it goes with so much! You will not regret buying these. As all Birks go, they run a little large (wide) and are in European sizing. I am a size 7-7½ and got the size 38. They are a good and comfortable fit.

Super happy with all Black, cleans and shines nicely. Haven't owned Birkies since high school, so super excited new mature styles that are more modern to fit this 40 year mom of 5 who wears leggings and athletic tops 95% of the time and these shoes dress up this ensemble just enough as needed.

I wear a size ten and ordered the EU size 40 and got a perfect fiit. If this is your first pair of Birkenstocks remember it takes a few outings to have the cork bedding settle to your foot shape. I love the black patent leather. They are so versitil with shorts, jeans, capris and long skirts.
