Birkenstock Women's Gizeh, Graceful Antique Lace Birko-Flor, 42R

Have admired this style on others for years. The hard footbed is typical BIRK comfort. But the thong is taking some getting used to. (A friend shared she broke hers in for several YEARS before being able to wear them all day.). Recommend starting slowly, wearing them around our house for brief periods. My sensitive feet are slowly adjusting. Oddly, one foot feels fine, while the other is taking longer. Online advice says to Be Patient. I believe the patience WILL pay off and I will have a beautiful, sexy sandal to wear next summer.

These are very good shoes with full arch support and were recommended by my podiatrist. My problem is that I have long toes, so the front edge was uncomfortable. There is a slight rise/lip at the front of the shoe that rubbed the bottom of my toes. I was already in the largest size, so no option to size up.This is an excellent shoe, it just didn't work for me. Highly recommend, especially if you have plantar faciitis.

Gizeh is my favourite Birkenstock sandal style, as I don't slip out of them. I have several pairs, including the silver. Graceful Taupe isn't as metallic as the silver - it's more subtle and is very pretty. I haven't worn them out yet, but they seem to go with most of my clothes.I did a lot of searching online before I found them at Bstore in the Narrow fit, and now this is my go-to shop for Birks.

I love the look of these sandals. I bought them and read reviews that they needed break in period. Well, even after a lengthy break in period, the toe post hurts so much! I am a frequent wearer of flip flops and other shoes with toe posts so my toes are used to it but this toe post is so hard!So disappointed since I have worn other styles of Birkenstocks over the years!
Feels great! One of the few shoes i can wear right out of the box all day long. Pretty much all i wear in six different colors. You do have to be accustomrd to thong type shoes or you may not like. I've worn flip flops all my life so no problems. Find you size in eu sizing and ignore US sizes works best for me. US sizes can be all over the place but find EU sizes to be more reliable. In US size normally wear 7n however the EU size 37 consistently fits in Birkenstock and other shoes that offer EU sizing.
I love Birkenstock and I have been wearing them for about 30 yrs. When I was still working I usually wore regular shoes. When I got home after work the first thing I did was put on some Birkies. I can't tell you how good they felt. I have a little bit of an issue with the manufacturers. They changed the sizing. I have always wore a 37 which was a 7-7.5 . The pair I just received from QVC is a 38: that's what the chart indicated. They don't fit as well as they should, my toes and my arches are not where they should be in the footbed.
I ordered it and was happy it arrived on time! A day before I leave for my trip. But when I opened it, I am so upset! It was used, the bottom looked yellowish and in a plain white box! Not the original! I’ve had Birkenstocks before so I know. Customer Service couldn’t do anything. Sorry doesn’t cut it. So I’m stuck wearing boring sneakers. I should’ve ordered something else.
I was looking for black casual sandals that also looked cute on my feet and were comfortable. I like the way they look but the left foot is somewhat uncomfortable in the bed under where your toes go through the strap. I try to wear them to maybe work that out but no luck yet, and I really haven't worn them that often. I've heard you have to wear Birkenstocks for a while to get them to be more comfortable. I'd rather they be comfortable from the start.#sweepstakes
I've been wonderfully blessed with flat/weak arches, heels that want to collapse inward like the stick that broke the camels back, and the oh-so horrid second toe that is longer than the big toe. Makes it hard to find shoes, especially sandals, that dont give off geriatric or cavemen vibes, no offense.Of course I went through the cheaper options, I'm only human. I dont think Im one to drag my feet, but after a few months most of the soles of my sandals were non-existent. Slipping on the stairs and going down like a sack of potatoes gave me quite the obvious epiphany that maybe, just maybe, there's something else out there that dont cause my toes to clamp down like falcon talons anytime I walk on tile for fear of public humiliation.After years of hearing hippies ... MoreI've been wonderfully blessed with flat/weak arches, heels that want to collapse inward like the stick that broke the camels back, and the oh-so horrid second toe that is longer than the big toe.

Being the rebel I am, I went leather. Hope that still gets me in the club, as I'm sure most wear vegan. I've recently jumped on the Moosejaw wagon and it's been a good ride so far. I suppose I'll also admit Im a sucker for rewards (thanks Moosejaw for finding my kryptonite). So naturally, I rationalized to myself that I wasn't "really" spending that much on a pair of shoes.Enough rambling. Anyways, I was like a kid at Christmas when the package came. I slid on my little heaven walkers, and.....whoa. They keep my heels and arches in check like a Navy Seal drill sergeant, and that lonely long toe can join the rest of the piggies, safely tucked inside the front lip of the shoe. Throw a little polish and BAM, feet that look like I'm intentionally letting them out of sneaker confinement. Guess the moral of the story is.....trust a hippie?
I noticed a lot of Birk’s now use faux leather. I refuse to pay so much for synthetic when Amazon has real leather dupes for $40. I filtered out leather in material search and ended up with these only to realize they are not really leather and not really well made. How in the world are they charging so much for such cheap sandals!
