Gizeh Big Buckle Sandal

I have worn Birkenstock’s for over 25 years and have purchased a few of the Gizeh style these are by far my favorite!!! As soon as I put them on they felt amazing no need to break them in. Love them

I purchased the Cognac Leather since I loved the color online, they were sold out everywhere and finally had my size back in stock to place an order sight unseen. Thought it would be a great neutral & loved the new 'big buckle' look. Size perfect as usual 36 and no complaints with the gorgeous color of the leather. However, I understand that they want to update the classics but when you changed the footbed material to a smooth leather there are a couple of issues. 1) a bit squeaky at first and that was walking around the house. 2)After breaking in wearing at home a bit, ventured outside and quickly noticed although leather is smooth, just NOT the same as the original footbed that molds to your feet. 3) Feet sweat a bit and smooth leather doesn't absorb like the original . So overall love the big buckle design, the overall look, but not sure how they will perform in hot Texas summers when worn outside and I don't have sweaty feet issue. Need feet to be comfy and not slosh if smooth leather doesn't perform well in hot temps. So the verdict still is out and might have to wear only indoors if not as cozy as other styles. Something to consider when updating Birks....sometimes don't change a good thing if not broken. Buckles are one thing...but your footbed is iconic.

They look great, fit well, but they make the MOST ANNOYING FARTING SOUND EVER when you walk.

I was looking for a replacement for the original Gizah sandals with the leather thong piece. These new ones have a hard plastic thong piece that digs between your toes and hurts a lot. Had to return them.

I haven’t worn Birkenstock’s since the 90’s. I was looking for a cute comfortable summer shoe and saw these. Love the look, however the one major issue I have is my foot is like a suction cup when I walk. I’m hoping this goes away the more the shoe forms around my foot. If not the cute shoe will go back.

I am very impressed with the shoes. There was a little bit of getting used to them. You might be inclined to strap them a little bit too tight. Make sure you don’t do that or the buckle will punch you. They are extremely comfortable and cute. Lots of compliments.

Right foot shoe didn’t fit and toe piece hurt

Love the big buckle but the foot bed is hard plastic and it’s like a suction cup and makes sounds when I walk. It’s not comfortable like the old Birkenstock shoe bed which conforms to your foot and gets more comfortable with wear. I should of sent them back because don’t wear them much because of what I said above

Love the look but I feel like the could have used better material at the toe beside hard plastic or wrapped it in leather. Very uncomfortable, I will be returning them.

I love these, the color (yellow) is perfect for summer. They fit true to size and are really comfortable. Can’t wait for some nice weather, I will be wearing them a lot.

First day of spring means new shoes in our family! These are great, very comfy and if you’ve been worried about the foot marks from the cork, no worries on these as they have a different material instead. Looking forward to wearing these this spring and summer!

I wear a 9 in most shoes, but I typically purchase a 39 in Birkenstocks. However, I had to swap this shoe out for a 40 because it's definitely true to size. I love the black footbed; it's sleek and looks a bit less casual than most Birkenstocks. The big buckle adds sophisticated style. I was able to break these in easily and they feel great from day one. I'm wearing them with jeans and leggings now and they'll be cute with shorts and sundresses in the summer.
