Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh - Birko-Flor™ & Birkibuc™

I wanted to like these, but hate them. Yes that is a strong word. I had never purchased Birkenstocks before and was not aware of how long they take to break in. Yes, I did not do my research properly and now regret this purchase. I have had these a few weeks and just are not working out, especially the part between my toes. Everyone keeps telling me to wait, they will feel great once they are broken in. If I can't wear them out of the box, they are no good to me. Sorry, I just do not like these.

Size 8 was too narrow and it hurts my bunion. The cork on the sides are stiff. These are not recommended for people who have bunions.

The toe piece is very tight and made it impossible for me to wear without pain.

Purchased these in hopes of taking them on vacation to Europe but found them heavy and uncomfortable. The toe piece is a thick plastic with no bend and while the shoe is fairly attractive, I had to send them back.
