Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor™ - Graceful

At first I did have some discomfort with the leather between the toes, but that was just a matter of not wearing any type of sandal for the winter months. I loved the way they look and after a couple of days of wearing them for 8 hours or longer they are very comfortable.

My feet have never been happier! I get bouts of plantar fasciitis and after my really cute sandals triggered it this last time I broke down and bought some Birkenstocks. These sandals are soooo comfortable. My feet felt amazing right when I stepped into them. And I was symptom free and able to do yoga without taping my foot which I had to do all last year! I wish I had bought these a long time ago. These definitely run large as I normally wear an American size 6 but had to order a size 35. The wide straps are super comfortable. The toe part feels like any flip flop but I grew up in Florida so my feet are very much used to something between my toes. I can see how the hard plastic would be uncomfortable for a person not used to that.

Just purchased my third pair of Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-flor because I like them so much. I wear them all summer and although they are very sturdy, after a couple of years they get a little weary. They are super comfy for my poor, sad feet which have seen many miles.

I am a 6.5 and purchased 37 regular. My toes aren't long so sizing up wasn't an issue. Footbed fit perfectly. 38 was too long for me.

Too large - I always get a size 39 in euro sizes; but these are way too long. I ordered 2 styles and they both are too large.

Birkenstock has the most durable, comfortable sandals on the market. I love that Birkenstock comes in narrow sizes! There is a short "breaking in" time, but it's not uncomfortable like other sandals I've purchased. Love this brand & will certainly buy other styles.

I couldn't be happier with this sandal. My feet hurt terribly after my pregnancy due to plantar fasciitis, I wasn't able to wear any sandal with a flat sole. I wore them all summer and into fall without any foot issues. I'm a size 8 and ordered a size 8 and it was a a perfect fit with a bit of room at the top like they mention these sandals should have. Overall I'm much satisfied and will most definitely order a pair of Birks in the future.

I have worn these shoes extensively for the past four summers. Three of those summers were spent wearing them in intense heat and humidity of Japanese summers. They are stylish in the "Jesus sandle" fashion, easy to slip on, and very comfortable and roomy. I noticed consequently that lots of Japanese people and tourists also wear these shoes. After four summers of wearing them extensively, I'm looking for a new pair for sake of variety. But it I continued to put another coat of cork sealant on them, they would do just fine another summer. I wear a 7.5 - 8 and the 38 fits me really well.

I love these shoes! I am so happy I bought them. I saw them in a magazine and became obsessed, then bought them on Zappos because of good price and free shipping both ways (in case they did not fit). You will not regret getting these, the silver metallic goes with everything and I rarely even wear any other shoes anymore. I do live in San Diego, so it is perma-flip-flop here usually. These Birks are cute enough to dress up (a bit) or just wear casually. I wear them with shorts, skirts, pants, jeans, dresses, and to yoga class! I am usually a size 7½ or 8 and I got the 38N and they fit perfectly. I have never bought a narrow fit shoe before, but I read a few reviews and found that a Birk narrow usually fits unless you have wide feet. I will say that I did not notice any particular snugness from them being narrow so I recommend you get them unless you have wide flat feet. Also, I have a very high arch, which sometimes means a strap that goes over or across the top of my foot doesn't fit or is uncomfortable. I had to adjust the strap to the loosest notch, and they fit beautifully with no pressure or discomfort. They are super comfortable, I literally love wearing these every dang day!

It's funny to wear a new pair of Birks since my Florida Birks are 20 years old! The old pair finally wore out & I replaced them with this newer, prettier version. I love the look, and these feel great! The toe thong doesn't bother me at all. I actually really like it. It feels like the sandal is more secure on my foot than the Floridas were.

These are a little more bluish silver than I had hoped, but they still look great with most things. I usually wear orthotics for alignment issues, but these sandals seem to do the same thing. I would definitely recommend them. Can't wait until summer so I can get them out again.

I just got these in the mail and they fit perfectly! I still need to break them in but the support on my feet already feels great. I listened to the reviews and got a smaller size. I am usually an 8-8 1/2 but I got a 38 in these sandals and I am glad I did.

Color is beautiful will go with anything. Instantly comfortable. No break in period. If you thought you would never like birkis, try these. They are fashionable and yet don't give you the feeling of wearing hippie shoes.

I was recently diagnosed with planter fascistic and need extra arch support. These were wonderful, very comfortable. I was able to walk all day while on vacation with no trouble.

This is my 2nd pair of Birks and 1st thong style. At first, I wasn't sure about the thong piece between the toes. It seemed like hard rubber but after wearing them it is not an issue. I love them just as much as my 1st pair.

I have owned a pair of teal leather Birkenstock Gizehs for about 3 years now, and they are hands down my favorite shoe of all time. I live in Minnesota so can only wear them about half the year, but when I can, my feet are in paradise. I have flat feet & plantar fasciitis, but these shoes really do feel more comfortable than walking barefoot. (It's the Birkenstock marketing motto and I didn't believe it until I experienced it.) Anyway, the old Gizehs started falling apart, and I figured I'd try a slightly different style. The Licorice Birko-Flor ones are beautiful! So stylish, look just as good as the leather in a different way. Now I can wear them to work or around town again without feeling shabby (I wore the old ones probably a little longer than was classy). Can't wait for spring! When I first got Birks, I went to a pricey shoestore and had my feet measured, and then I bought the pair on Ebay. (I'm cheap! Although splurged on the 2nd pair.) Definitely worth it to get your size measured in person. I am a 6.5-7 in US size but a 36 Birk, which many sites say is around a size 5. Not true!

It's a Birks! It works, it fits, no surprises I love them. Happy to find I can purchase these shoes online - was worried about fit. Now I can buy all the colors! & Zappos - great service.

I was hesitant to order these. I am a true "narrow" (8 1/2) and this style/color (white patent) was not available in the narrow width. I ordered a size 39 and with the adjustment on the buckle, they fit perfectly. I am so happy to have found this style/color and that it actually fits! I will definite not hesitate to order colors in this same style. Thanks Zappos for the quick delivery, too!

Gizeh is my favorite Birkenstock style. I have multiple pairs and try to add new colors periodically. I wanted metallic sandals that would not be too bright. The titanium color fit the bill. It has a slight greenish tint that really blends well with almost any color. Since these sandals last almost forever, I plan to enjoy these for many years. I have never needed much of a break in period with any of my Birkenstocks, so these are ready to wear and enjoy. Thank you, Zappos, for a great style and color selection and great customer service! I always come back for more!

I'm just posting this review to let people know that if you are a size 7 (as many of us are), do not purchase the 38! Even though it says the 38 is for feet size 7 to 7.5, they are huge. 37 is a perfect fit for a size 7 foot in this style. My first pair of Birks were in a size 38... they never fit correctly in the heel, flopped around and I ended up throwing them away (thanks to the salesperson who insisted I was a size 38). Don't let yourself be talked into a too-big Birkenstocks because they'll stretch over time and you'll end up with an annoying pair of sandals!

These were the only pair of sandals I took on our beach vacation. I wore them everyday and also with a maxidress for a date night. So comfortable and I love the gold color! Might need to get the silver ones next summer!

Best, cutest sandals you will ever buy. They do, however, run big, so I would go down a few sizes. I usually wear a 7.5 shoe...I got a size 35.

I love that Birkenstock has these sandals in such amazing colors. I get several compliments from random strangers every time I wear these. I have weak arches so I try to find sandals that I can wear all day but still have a stylish flare to them. The sole is a little bulkier than some of the ultra-cute sandals I would like to wear, but it is a worthwhile compromise for me since I have options like this colorful Gizeh.

I've been wearing these Birks in different colors for years - they have great support & provide that 'Birk sandal style' that works so well. I really love this color and not black, not silver, but something in-between that works with everything black Birks would but has a little more character.
