Birkenstock Gizeh, Womens-Adults' Sandals, Tango Red Lack, 40 EU

Originally I bought the leather gizehs as I thought they would look nicer and be more comfortable. I also bought a size 39 even though I am usually between a 39 and a 40, as the sizes are large. When they arrived they looked great and fitted nice and snugly, the leather straps were ok, but not amazingly comfortable. I wore them in side for a while and realised my toes were too near the edges and after a bit of walking I could tell this would become a problem. I returned them which was very easy and decided to go for a 40 in the birko-flor. They are called nubuck mocca which is a bit confusing as they are synthetic. These are amazing and the larger fit is so much more comfortable. Also the synthetic straps still look great but they are lined with a fleecy material which makes them so much more comfortable than the leather. They are wipe clean, so should be much lower maintenance than the leather, and were £15 cheaper!Getting the right size is so important, my tips would be get your size, don't go down in size. I think they make your feet look smaller with the bigger size too! Also you are better trying them on first but as these are so easy to return you could always buy a couple of pairs and send unwanted ones back.At this price I think I will be buying them for presents, they are so comfortable!

Recommended by my podiatrist , good advice

I bought my first pair a few years ago and was introduced to them by a colleague who swore by them. I didn't really get what all the fuss was about and always considered them to be a bit overpriced for what is essentially a summer shoe. How wrong I was!After buying my first pair and having worn them to death, I promised myself I would get a smarter pair. I've just had delivery of the Gizeh in Black Patent and they are everything I wanted. They're smart and can be dressed up or down and are SO comfy. I'm currently 31 weeks pregnant and have had to let the strap out to accommodate my swollen feet and they are STILL comfy!I would imagine for those people who don't like 'thong' or 'toe post' designs, these wouldn't be their thing, but I absolutely love them.Like most shoes you do have to be careful of sizing, so I would suggest trying some on in a shop before buying online. I'm usually a UK size 8, and I wear a Birkenstock EU size 40 as they are quite wide.Don't bother with cheap immitations- Birkenstocks are wonderful and will last for years if you look after them.

These are my very first pair of Birkies. I've always wanted to buy one but hesitated. Now i know how wrong i was. Now i know why everyone is talking about them. They are so comfortable and supportive - more than i could ever imagine. I usually have swollen feet and i'm normally a size 39 EU/6 UK. After reading some reviews, i decided to buy a 38 medium and they are exactly as they must be. During the 2-3 first days they didn't feel strange as written at some reviews, but they did feel a little narrow. After 4 days, they fit perfectly and sooo light in weight.Highly recommended.Next summer i'll be back for one pair for sure!

Really good quality sandals however the size 5 UK come up to large all my shoes and sandals are a UK size 5 so not Sur why they were more like a size six. Received a full refund but would rather of had the sandals.

I ordered these sandals to address my need for a supportive, and acceptably attractive, summer shoe. Overall, I feel that the shoes have meet these needs. The foot bed was comfortable from the start and the adjustable strap was very helpful for getting the fit just right. My only caution concerns the toe peg: it's a bit wider than most other sandals I've had and, for me, it has taken some getting used to. But I do have small feet, so suspect this might not be a problem for others!

These comfortable sandals, are a really good fit (though they can rub a bit at first),and are stylish too. I got them in silver, and find (despite the fact that me feet are still growing) that they can last for up to 2 years.the toe grips are good, and stop your feet from slipping, like cheap flipflops. They sole of the shoe can rubon the foot, and create a slightly tanned look- but that's just extreme nit picking!!! Not ideal for long walks, Iwould recommend Birkenstocks to anyone. One small tip though: don't leave them in the rain, or it takesages for them to dry out! Definitely worth all that money!!

As described, as yuck delivery and great price!

Totalmente recomendados

love these shoes. They last for years!

What can I say about these rubber berks.Comfortable, pretty, stylish, great support, and could walk in these for days. Have them in white and black also.

I can always count on Birkenstock sandals for the size and fit to be accurate. I never have a problem with the fit when I order them on line.

Pretty golden details and light cork color footbed
