Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor™ - Graceful

Got this shoe for trekking around the city in the hot summertime. Wanted comfort and style, something I could wear all day that would suffice for a nice restaurant in the evening. Thought I might have to break the shoe in, but it wasn't really necessary. I was forewarned by other reviews that the piece between the toes would take getting used to as it is thicker than average. It took me about two hours to adjust to it, at most. I stopped noticing it right away. I love this sandal.

This sandal is amazing! In the past I held off buying Birkenstocks due to their styling. But these are great. Most importantly, though, is the comfort and support they offer. I wear these all the time and they're fantastic even after many hours and miles of walking. What is most surprising is the compliments I always receive. When people hear they're Birkenstocks, they're always surprised because this sandal is not "frumpy" looking whatsoever. You will not be disappointed.

I am officially a Birkenstock convert. These were incredibly supportive during a ten day European vacation I just took where I was on my feet all day every day. I just wanted to reiterate others' advice around breaking them in. I found them very uncomfortable the first 2-3 days I wore them prior to the trip, painful even around my arches/mid-foot. But after those initial days, my feet adjusted and they felt great. So don't give up on them if they hurt at first, you're feet get accustomed to the support and are happy for it in the end!

I have a hard time finding shoes that fit comfortably. I love Birkenstocks! I was nervous about this style but they are great. They look good with almost everything and the color is great. I highly recommend these shoes!

This is a very comfortable and pretty sandal that can be work with just about anything but a formal occasion. Very supportive and comfortable after breaking in. At first, it was very uncomfortable and stiff but after break-in is great. Buy a full size smaller, though. Birkenstocks appear to run very large.

I love my Birkenstocks! I previously had a pair my mom had given me that were hers (we have the same feet), but they were not the cutest shoes on the planet. I am going to college in a week and I needed some comfortable sandals to walk in that were not hideous. I really loved my old Birkenstocks, but, frankly, I would not wear them outside my house. I found these on the Birkenstock website and thought they were pretty cute, but they were very expensive, so I came to Zappos, which always has lower prices. Previous reviews had said that these run a little large, so I ordered a size down and they fit perfectly. The color is a bit more metallic than it shows in the picture; they are more bronze than orange. You definitely have to wear them in a little bit before you seriously start wearing them. After I would wear them for a few hours to break them in, my feet would be sore, but it wasn't a problem. After I had them about a week and a half, I took them on vacation to Washington, D.C. I walked for miles in these and my feet did not hurt at all, they were so comfortable. I have since taken them camping and hiking, plus around town and shopping and I have had no problems. I love them and I will probably buy more in the future.

Love the look and style of these sandals. Birkenstocks run big in general, so I did have to return a size 9 in exchange for an 8. Still in the breaking-in process, but they are already very comfy and fit well to my feet.

Fabulous sandal that will be worn for years. Extremely comfortable given that I have a bunion and flat feet. The arch support is moderate without digging in to my foot. Regarding the sizing: I ordered a 39 (8-8.5) and they were easily a half size too big. I normally wear an 8 and even sometimes an 8.5 so was a little surprised. I'm sending them back for the 38 though.

I live in these all weekend. They are very comfortable and mold to your feet. These are my second pair.

Great sandal! Very versatile, extremely comfortable and wonderfully stylish. Doesn't get any better!

Love 'em. I purchased for solid foot support but I get compliments on the style every time I wear them.

These shoes are extremely comfortable, fit snugly (I was initially worried about the sandals feeling too loose or slipping off my feet), and best of all, they're cute! I normally wear a 12.5 Wide, but I fit into the 11-11.5 Regular just fine.

Bought this sandals because I do a lot of walking in the city. I tend to use fancy and stylish cute sandals in the summer but wa looking more for comfort and needed to own a pair of the Gizeh. The first few weeks it took my feet time to mold into the sandals my feet was a bit in pain. I then realized that I needed to adjust the strap to fit my feet a little tighter. This make a whole world of a difference and after a few months they are really comfortable. My friends said that it will get more comfortable with the time. This is definitely an investment worth making. This is a pair a will have my entire lifetime as Birkenstock offer a replace of the rubber bottom for a fraction of the sandal's price (still looking for a location of where to get this done in the future).

I bought these for my first trip to Europe. I wore them all day every day and have not looked back. Any chance I do not have to dress up and or it is not too cold, these will be on my feet. I love them. I have used mine for over a year, constantly, and they seriously look almost new. The quality of the material is fantastic.

I friggin love this shoe! I have it in the Bronze which looks great with my tan and in purple! Very feminine and comfortable.

I loved the look, been wearing Birks for years, but can't tolerate the thong.

These Birkenstocks are terrific! Very comfortable and stylish. And a good deal too!

Great sandals - they have been comfortable from the start. I will buy this brand again. This style is foot flattering. Zappos is a 5 star company to trade with!

These sandals are one of the best investments I've ever made. They are my house shoes, work/school shoes, my weekend shoes and my life shoes! They are durable and the antique lace has a subtle but beautiful sparkle. I'm glad I got this color instead of the white!

I have very flat feet so these shoes had to be broken into. About the third wear, they were comfortable and wonderful! I love them, and I highly recommend them for folks with flat feet!

I am a huge fan of these shoes! They may not work for everyone, but for my feet (with bunions) Gizehs are wonderfully comfortable. Although a little stiff at first, they quickly conform to the shape of the foot and feel better and better over time. I also think they are the best looking of the Birkenstocks.

I suffer from plantar fasciitis and my physical therapist recommended these as a summer shoe as I couldn't imagine being in a tennis shoe all summer - I love these shoes. They provide the best support especially because the buckle allows me to keep it tight across my foot so my toes don't have to do any work to keep it on my foot. Now looking for a cuter pair.

The toe tab is a little thicker than most flip flops so it takes awhile to get used to. For a sandal the arch support is great.

This is the second pair of Birkenstock Gizehs I have owned (the first lasted for 5 years), and I adore them. They are immediately comfortable and I've found I can walk for miles in them without a second thought. I might need another pair in silver or patent leather. A note about size: Normally I wear a size 7.5 (though depending on the shoe I can also wear a 7 or an 8). I ordered these in a 37 (which corresponds to a 6-6.5) since that was the size of my first pair, which I tried on in a store, and they fit just fine. In short, my suggestion is to order small if you are in doubt.

A great buy! I love the arch support offered by Birkenstocks, and these are a more stylish alternative to the traditional Birk sandal look. I was a little worried that the toe piece would be uncomfortable on these shoes, but they were great right off the bat.
