Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor™ - Graceful

I have five pairs of these in different colors, have worn them for years. I wear them in winter sometimes with socks and summer. People compliment me on them and can't believe that they are Birkenstocks.

Finally, a feminine Birkenstock that fits perfectly. I was hoping all the reviews were right about this one seeming a little big. Usually, I have one toe or other hanging/almost hanging off the edge of a Birkenstock. These, size 42 (11-11½) fit perfectly. Not only that, the Moroccan Gold is lovely, not tacky at all, and will be perfect with so many outfits. I work in a business casual environment but always try to look put-together. I cannot wait to try another color. Thank you, Zappos!

I read a bunch of reviews and finally picked size 37. I am 7½-8. Everything fit perfectly... except for my long toe. The sandals are sunken in and my toe constantly hits the ridge by the toeline. I returned these and since they did not have a 38 in black had to upgrade to the leather Gizeh Sandals. Even though I returned these I am still giving them five stars. They are very comfortable!

Ahh the comfort of a Birkenstock footbed, but the look of a pretty modern sandal. Even my teenage daughter wears these. Cuter than they look in the picture. So comfortable.

Love the Birkenstock Gizeh Sandal! This is my first pair of Birks which I purchased after seeing several of my friends wearing them and they all raved about the Gizeh Sandal as well. I wore it all day in San Diego (4 x 8 hour days of sightseeing) and continued to wear them in NYC until the weather got colder - they are that comfortable. I tried a couple other Birk styles, but they did not fit as well as the Gizeh. My only complaint is that I am regularly a 37 in European size (6.5-7 US), and had to go down a 35 in these Birks, otherwise my feet were swimming in the sandal. I think that part of the reason it's so comfortable is not only the strong arch support and adjustable strap, but also the wide footbed (although I have medium width feet).

These sandals are wonderful. Very comfy with great support for a thong type sandal. Stylish too. As always, Zappos customer service people are phenomenal... many thanks!

Love them, but too big. Ordered 39 like my other Birkenstocks, but I think they fit better because of back strap, which these do not have.

Love these sandals! I ordered my first pair about two weeks ago and now have pair #2 on the way. As per the recommendations of other customers, I ordered a full size smaller than I normally wear (I am usually an 8.5-9 and I ordered the 39). They fit perfectly! I have a wide-ish foot and the regular width fits just right. It took me several wears to break them in, but now that I have--I never want to take them off! As a perpetual flip flop wearer, I am happy to have invested in a shoe that is versatile, comfy, and cute.

Gotta love a good pair of Birks! And these are they. My only semi-complaint, is that the black of the birko-flor is not a bolder black - almost a distressed black. But still look great and give the excellent comfort and support of Birkenstocks! As for sizing, I always wear a size 8/8.5 in all shoes - however, in Birks I always order a size 38 (7/7.5). The 39 (suggested for 8/8.5) is always a little too long and a little too wide. I personally feel uncomfortable in a shoe that is too large.

My first Birkenstock purchase - I love these sandals. Very comfortable. Zappos always gives such great service, always upgrading my order to next day shipment!

This was a great price for great shoes. Additionally you cannot beat the service provided by Zappos. I placed my order, had my confirmation and had my shoes in three days. When it comes to customer satisfaction, Zappos delivers. Plus I love my Birkenstocks, and Zappos price was the lowest. I will buy again from Zappos.

I love these sandals! So comfortable and easy to clean. I recently wore these everyday on a vacation in Barcelona. My feet were happy and I felt stylish, too.

I bought these for walking around Hong Kong and Taiwan on some of my travels. These are so comfortable. The arch support is amazing and I did not have any back pain even after standing up They are also very durable and rugged. I did not experience any discomfort with the toe divider, but there was definitely a breaking in period with the sole. That only lasted maybe three wearings! Now they are perfect and I could not have asked for better travel sandals. I would recommend ordering half a size up. I wear a 9 or 9½ in shoes and I ordered a 40 (9½-10). They fit perfectly!

This is my first pair of Birks and I love them. I shunned this brand for decades because of the hippie association. Then my husband mentioned several times that he couldn't find anything as comfortable as his Birks so I thought I'd give it a try. They felt very strange at first but after they broke in they felt much better. I wore them shopping yesterday for many hours and they were great. That piece between the toe doesn't really bother me. I'm now sold on this brand and would like to get more! Also, this stone color is fantastic because it is so neutral and goes with everything such as earth tones and grays. Took the advice of other reviewers and went down one size and the fit is perfect. I normally wear a 6.5 and got the 36 size.

I get these exact same shoes (in different colors) every couple of years. I love them. There's never any pain and I can walk and walk for hours in them.

I have wanted a pair of Birkenstocjk shoes since I was in college 40 years ago, but they were too earthy for me to spend so much money. These are really cute and so comfy. Love them. I hope the company continues with adding some chic to it's line.

Very comfortable shoe! My feet got a bit sore when I first was breaking them in, but now they feel great!

I have been a Birkenstock lover and wearer for over 30 years, and this pair from Zappos is a sexy, comfortable addition to my collection! The service I have experienced with Zappos is exceptional and will continue to shop with them for a long, long time. They offer many styles that aren't available in retail at very reasonable prices. Love my Zappos!

These are great shoes! If you know Birkenstock you know you cannot go wrong. This is one of the most leg flattering styles they make. I love the color. I had debated between the silver and the brown/gold. I am so happy with the brown/gold. They go with everything and looks great casual or a little more dressy. Do not debate, just buy and enjoy

I'm a 7 1/2 exactly. In other European sized shoes I get 38-39, but when I ordered 38, they were a size too big. I'm going to return them and try 37. And I was hoping to start breaking them in!

These shoes took about 3-4 weeks to really break in, but it was well worth the wait. I recommend them to anyone! The toe strap was uncomfortable at first, and the shoe felt a bit loose. They just take some getting used to walking in. After 2 months, the cork cracked on the side. I went to a Birkenstock store and they said this is normal and can be fixed. I also learned different size/width combos can be equally good fits, depending on what feels best. I need either a 40 regular or 41 narrow...both felt about the same. The 40 narrow foot bed was too small.

Love this new style. It did take a little getting use to the strap on the toe area. When my feet start to ache a little, I put these right on.

These are great shoes! This is my second pair of Gizehs and they are wonderful! My arch has fallen flat from an ankle sprain and these shoes give such great support that I can walk many miles and not be in pain! They are not the cutest shoes, but much better than many of the similar ones out there. I also have not experienced any type of irritation from the toe piece that some people have noted. Spend a few hours/days to break them in and you will love them!

This sandal is not only comfortable but also looks great in copper coin color, particularly if your feet are tanned in the summer. Lovely with skirts and short pants.
