Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh

This is my second pair and I love them! They fit perfectly both length and width. My feet are on the slimmer side, so I was surprised at how perfectly this second pair fit.

These are outstandingly comfortable after a week or two of breaking in. Love the style and the more open air feel of these. The leather upper is so soft you can step right out of them if you try to run or if you catch the toe end on a step. Only issue I found with them, being leather, the black straps heat up if you stand or sit in bright sunlight. Couple of times the toe straps felt like hot coals sitting on top of my feet. Easy fix is to take them off and turn them upside down to cool off a bit.

Soft leather, bright, clean white color. Takes a little bit of breaking in, but overall super comfortable like all birkenstocks. Some have said the plastic toe divider is uncomfortable, but I haven't had a problem with it.

Love, love, love! I got these in the Flower Crush Mocha color. There was a brief break-in period with the plastic bit on my right toes, but after that they've been great. They molded to my feet quickly, and are comfortable enough that I want to wear them every day. I get lots of compliments on them, too. These were a bit narrower than the Arizona style, but that was fine for me. I'm a size 9, and the 40 fit perfectly. (There's supposed to be a bit of room for the toes and heel.)

I wear an 8 in a sandal and the 39 fit perfectly. This is a beautiful shoe that makes me feel like I'm taking care of my feet (which I haven't always done). The strap is adjustable and I was able to find a comfortable width by adjusting the strap.

These shoes are amazing! I had some Papillos from a few years ago and decided to try these. So cute, so the first day I wore them to a Meghan Trainor concert with my daughter. They first went through the rain getting to the line. I stood in line for an hour and a half. Our tickets were in the pit and standing only. I stood another 4 hours. My feet felt great. I thought that I really took a chance on these and they served me well! Again an awesome looking shoe that molds to your feet. I wear a 9 or 9 1/2 and. The 39 fit great.

I normally wear a 7-7.5 and I ordered a 37 and 38. The 37 fit perfectly so I'd say the sizing guide is off. I also have fairly narrow feet and the regular width was just fine. Love these - so comfortable!

I adore Birkenstocks and I adore this Gizeh style. They look great on my foot and they go with everything I wear. I wear them all time, very comfortable.

I had previously bought Birkenstock Jakarta sandals, and did have a breaking-in period--blisters and sadness were involved. So when I got my first pair of Gizeh sandals, I was pleasantly surprised when it seemed they didn't need much breaking in. Let me rephrase: no breaking in. I put them on at home in the evening just to get them fitted, and I pretty much haven't taken them off in the month since. I wear them all around the house, in the yard to take the dogs out, and then to work where I'm standing at my desk 8-10 hours. This morning I totally intended to wear my gold Jakartas to go with my outfit, and halfway through my commute I realized I'd forgotten to change out of my now-default Gizehs. Other bonuses: shiny, fun, walkable, standable; soft footbed and moleskin-like upper lining. Not a single blister yet!

Super comfortable, runs narrow, I had thought the silver part was leather but it is not. Move the shoe!

Love these. I need lots and lots of arch support. These have it and are super-cute too.

This shoe is so comfortable I can not usually wear shoes that goes between my toes but this shoe does not bother me at all. I have three pair. Love them!!!

I LOVE these sandals so much! They're incredibly comfortable and sturdy. The pink/purple color is super fun. I want to wear them every time I leave the house!

I am a size 7 and typically wear a 37 in European sizes. I went with this rather than the 38, as the size chart suggested, and I am so glad I did. The 38 would have been way too big. These fit well and are very comfortable. I also love the color of the silver metallic! I have not had any problem with the plastic toe piece. I honestly don't even feel it.

These are very comfortable now that I've broken them in. I wear them everywhere! At first the sole was very stiff and the post between my toes was painful. I recommend sizing down - I initially bought this style in a 37 since I typically wear a 6.5 but they were huge, so I got them in the 36 instead. Also, my feet are a bit wide and the regular width works fine.

I purchased the bright white patent Gizeh, not realizing that it had a white trim, the picture is rather deceiving at first glance, I didn't even notice it. When the sandals arrived I was surprised by the trim. I really liked the look of it but was concerned about how the white trim would hold up (getting dirty). I decided to give it a try, wore them one hour to run an errand in the car, walked from the parking lot to the store and back to the car. When I got home I took them off and noticed that they were already dirty in some spots and scuffed in others. I took a paper towel with some warm water and tried to clean them up to no avail. I don't walk around in dirty looking shoes, unless they are garden shoes!!! Especially not at $125 a pair! I own six pairs and they really hold up well, so this is not going to work for me. I just got off the phone arranging for the sandals to be returned. What I wanted was sku #109117 and will purchase those instead. I intend to send an email to Birkenstock directly to let them know about the white trim. I believe this will be a problem for others as well. As usual Zappos stepped up to the plate, as they always do and why I don't online shoe shop anywhere else!!!

Perhaps the best shoe I have ever owned...and that's saying a lot because I never imagined I'd own a pair of Birkenstocks. I have a ton of foot problems and with these on, they magically disappear. I have worn them every day since they arrived and I wish I hadn't waited so long to try them. They alleviate my plantar fasciitis, Morton's Neuroma and my knee pain. They fit true to size (I'm an 8.5 and I got a 39). I get compliments on them every day and have had no trouble whatsoever with the thong style. The strap at the top of the foot prevents my toes from having to do any of the work. I could live in these shoes! I got the pearl hazel color and they go with everything. Thank you Zappos for letting me try 4 different styles before settling on these.

I wear a six and have always worn a 36 in European sizes. I listened to them and got a 37 which I knew was a mistake as they are too big. Other than that I have heard nothing but great reviews of how comfortable they are.

I adore these shoes. My daughter introduced me to the brand, and she has good taste. They were a little stiff between the toes at first, but the overall comfort is amazing.

Love these. They go with everything and are very comfortable. I wore them traveling and my feet never got tired plus people asked about them. You know they are cute when strangers ask about your shoes!

These are super cute Birks, but I still haven't adjusted to the plastic thong between the toes. I assume I will eventually get used to it, but I've walked a few miles in these shoes already, and the toe piece is still quite uncomfortable.

These Birkenstocks are so much fun. I have owned several pairs over the years. People notice these shoes. In the sunshine they turn to rainbows. I call them my rainbow bright shoes. I also returned to Birkenstock shoes because I have plantar fasciitis and they help tremendously. For fun comfortable shoes these are perfect. Plus they give you a fun tan line on your feet.

This is a gorgeous and comfortable sandal, typical of Birkenstock. True to size. I chose the mirror pink, but unfortunately the pink color started coming off around the buckle to the point it was embarrassing to wear them. Phoned Zappos to report this defective product. They were very understanding and very quick to replace. Their customer service is a 10.

Love! Give these a few days to mold to your feet, then they become the most comfortable shoe! The color is gorgeous, a little shiny, but not gaudy. I wear a size 8 generally, and found a 38 Birkenstock to be a tad snug at first, but after a few days fit just right. I do have a slightly wide foot.
