Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Big Buckle - Leather

I had to return. While I love the style, I was sent the last pair of size 40. One shoe was bright leather, and the other was dull and muted. On my feet, they look like two totally different shoes. I don't fault Birkenstock. The shoe is designed well. I fault Zappos on the quality of this last remaining pair.

Soles were curled not straight

I've been wearing Birkenstocks for 35 years and these are not the Birkenstocks of yesterday. The footbed is plastic and the color will transfer to your floor and furniture and clothes. The footbed will also be very Slippery When Wet. I'm super disappointed in these and I ended up wearing them for a little while and then I just couldn't take the fact that they were putting the black everywhere especially on my feet the end step left black on the top of my foot. So the quality is just not there anymore I even thought these might be fakes. But I called the company and they're not they're just not quality anymore. If anything by the cork footbed don't buy the colored footbeds especially the dark colors will transfer onto your feet.

These are the most uncomfortable sandals I g heave ever worn They made blisters on the top of my feet every time I tried to wear them

Wanted to love it but it hurts my feet it is stiff to walk in and it doesn’t break in. Hate that I need to return

The style is very cute, but on first wear, my feet feel very constrained to the shoe. natural foot movement whilst walking is awkward (think Charlie’s horse/cramp in foot bc your foot isn’t able to bend where it needs) the leather is not soft at all like my other Birkenstocks and the toe strap over time I imagine will cause blisters. Would like to return.

Only the left shoe arrived. I donated the right , with Zappos permission. $150.00 was supposed to be put back into my account, and a $25 credit in my account. Neither has happend. This shoe is still out of stock in my size. I wastill going purchase these shoe from the local Birkenstock dealer in Portland, where I always go, but was told Zappos was better...not true, sadly.

The worst fitting sandals I’ve ever tried on. The sole is a hard plastic and nothing like what the picture.

These would be perfect except the foot cover is placed too far back on the shoe. The edge closest to your leg digs into your ankle making it rub and dig when you walk. Very cute but clearly not tested.

The strap across the instep is too long unless you have a very high arch or a very chubby foot. I would love to buy several pairs of Big Buckle Gizehs if not for the longer length of strap over instep compared to six years ago.

Fit was great but the leather is so stiff and the plastic toe piece is horribly uncomfortable. Over priced for the quality of this sandal.

The piece between your toes is very hard and hurt my toes. I tried but I just could not wear them.

Extremely cute high quality sandal, the large strap jus would not let me put on the sandal, it hurt the top of my foot.

These sandals are very uncomfortable. The strap between your toes really hurts. I could barely walk in them. Not sure why this is. Bad design.

So disappointed in my first pair of Birkenstock sandals. I waited a few months to write this hoping that they would break in and the endless squeaking would stop. It has not. I sound like I am wearing a cheap pair of flip flops. They are adorable and comfortable, but the creaking noise is a deal breaker, especially at this price point.

OWWW! The biggest problem with these shoes was the design of the thing that separates the toes. It felt like sticking a sharp rectangular stick between my toes -- and then I was supposed to walk around in them. Not a chance. Also, I wasn't excited about the color. It was a drab pink.

Excess glue everywhere and the footbed feels "plasticky". So disappointed with the quality. For the price, it's NOT WORTH IT.

These shoes arrived on March 14th with scratches on them. One shoe is a different color than the other...almost looks like it's faded from sitting in the sun. Very disappointed for what I paid for these sandals. DEFINITELY returning for a refund.

The piece between the toes was very hard. Even though I wear a 71/2 size 38 was way too big. Exchanged for a difference style and size. Exchange process was superb!
