BirkenstockUnisex-Adult Thong Gizeh Gold Bf R

I must be honest in that I have never found the original Birkenstock (Jesus) sandals super attractive...but people have always raved about their comfort. Even so - I couldn't bring myself to buy a pair because I just didn't think they were cute or feminine - and, the few times I had tried some on, I thought they were NOT comfortable and I had no idea what people were talking about. Well, fast forward to about two weeks ago when I was reading a travel blog post about travel capsule wardrobe items and the lady mentioned this style of sandal. She extolled their virtue of being incredibly comfortable, hardy, and feminine enough to wear with just about anything. She also explained how you need to wear your Birkenstock sandals for a few days so that the heat from your feet can mold and shape the foot bed exactly to your foot. Wait, what?! Light bulb!! After taking a long, hard look at sandals she posted, I thought the day had come to try, especially since they looked way cuter (to me) than the original sandals and - if they were versatile enough to go with shorts, skirts, dresses, and pants...then why not? I ordered them and they arrived quickly. The box they came in was crunched seven ways to hell (torn, missing pieces) but the sandals inside the remains of the poor box seemed unscathed. I especially liked the color, which was true to the online photo, and the buckle, which I adjusted to fit my foot. I have rather flat feet so at first, I found the foot bed to be hard and uncomfortable, but I persevered and kept them on...and then - before I knew it - they became incredibly comfortable...AND...they support my flat feet beautifully!! Now? I love everything about these sandals! I am a very (VERY) happy camper - and you will be, too! They are very well constructed and I imagine wearing these amazing shoes for a long, long time. :)

I have always owned Arizona's. Wanted to try a new style. So happy I did. They are so comfortable and attractive. Feel I can wear them with so many more things. Love the color. Fit is a little big as I am a 7.5-8 shoe. So I ended up getting the 8-8.5 size to be safe. But not too big that I am trippy over myself or falling out of them. Probably will buy more in different colors.

So comfortable! Takes a couple of days for them to form to your feet. The last pair I had lasted probably 7years.

The Gizeh is quite comfortable and the buckled strap allowed me to adjust the width so it fit well.

These are by far the most comfortable and cutest style of Birkenstocks that I have downed so far.

Very good

A solid waste of money this one. Both unflattering and uncomfortable, it simply occupies space as an used item waiting to be eventually discarded.

This was a gift to someone else so I haven’t seen it or heard anything about the fit other than she REALLY loved her old pair that she’d had 10 years and only needed a new pair when the old ones fell apart. So they should last a long time as it’s exactly the same shoe from the same company!
