Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Big Buckle - Metallic Leather

Loved the look of these but they were much smaller than any other Birkenstock’s I have. I’ve worn a 37 in birks for as long as I can remember. These showed up and were much shorter and narrower than my other pairs. Not sure if the next size or two up would work since they don’t have them available in those sizes.

Love the look of these, but mine came and were poorly made. There were marks in the leather, the button between the toes was stretched on one, and appeared partially melted on the other. I intended to just exchange, because I love birks and have to assume this was an oversight. Unfortunately, my size is now out of stock.

Size was correct, but felt very uncomfortable. I sent them back.

The toe separator gave me a blister so I returned these. Sorry to say. They need a more comfortable, padded separator at this price. Disappointed!

Prettier than others in the brand, but still clunky and earthy looking, which wasn’t what I was going for. Didn’t keep.

The fit was much different than my other pair of Gizeh. May be me or may be the shoes, either way I am sadly returning them.

Button between the toes was too tight; made it impossible to wear.

I have these in three colors but, this new style with the white sole and big buckle is NOT comfortable. Boo.

Loved these but they showed up with the leather already scuffed looking so they are going back.

The patent leather has no give and so does not accommodate a wider foot the way the soft leather does. I was surprised, but have to return them.

These run very narrow. I gave other Gizeh’s, but the big buckle style runs narrow.

This is my 1st pair of Burkenstocks. The shoe is hard and just not comfortable fit. I was disappointed in the comfort of the sandal for what I paid. I do notice the ones I have are leather inside and the original are cloth. Not sure if that matters. Also maybe the thong as oppose to the over two straps across the foot. I know I don't want to spend another $100 dollars to find out.

These run narrow! I have other Gizeh’s in the same size and the big buckle run smaller / much narrower. Such a disappointment that Birkenstock cannot make their sizing consistent. Will be returning.

I love the idea of these, but they just aren’t fulfilling my expectations in the way they look on my feet Birks are a wonderful sandal - these just aren’t the right style for my feet

so hard!!!! UGH NOt comfortable at all no flexability

The length is too long and the thong arch is very shallow. At first I thought they mistakenly sent me the narrow size, but no. I have other pairs of birkenstoks (most fit like a dream), so I'm not sure why this footprint is different. If you have a wide foot with a high arch, these are not the sandals for you.

So disappointed with these. I poured over other reviews and couldn’t find a comment where someone said that the armpit fart sounds that the shoes make each time you take a step would dissipate once the shoes were broken in, and I wasn’t willing to chance it at this price point. I tried both the Gizeh and Arizona and the “issue” was the same. ? Such a shame because the buckles are lovely, I LOVE the leather upper and was looking for a true white. Extremely sad to send back. If the noise goes away after a break-in period, someone please post about this revelation!

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.

I have been wearing Birkenstocks for years and have more than 10 pairs and all of them have been comfortable from the first wear, no break-in period. I am so disappointed in this pair! So stiff and the toe post is very hard and rubs on the top of my toes. SO SAD!!! Have to return. :(

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.
