Birkenstock

I exchanged the 39 regular for 38 narrow and now have a perfect fit. I have very high arches - this is the first shoe ever where I can actually feel the arch support. It was a little strange getting used to this at first, but this won't be the only pair of these shoes I'll own in the future.

Great product and service. Couldn't get my size at Birkenstock.com, so I tried Zappos. I'll be back.

I couldn't live without this sandal in summer. It is the only thing I can walk in that doesn't aggravate my accessory navicular bone. A must have for high arched person.

I'd been wanting a pair of Birkenstocks for a while now, but didn't like the other styles. After walking miles around Boston one day in some crappy flat sandals (they rubbed my feet raw, and irritated a running injury), I decided it was finally time to pull the trigger on a solid pair of sandals. These are super cute, and I like how the silver makes them a little less earthy-crunchy looking. It also makes them versatile in regards to matching with other colors. I have normal width feet, and regularly wear a size 8 (39 in this case), but ordered down a size as they run big. They fit perfectly, and are so comfortable. The suede foot bed is soft,keeps your feet dry, and prevents uncomfortable rubbing and sticking if you're walking around all day. They even helped my injury by providing arch support. If you have low arches, these may hurt a bit when you first put them on, but your feet kind of mold into them after a bit of walking around. Overall, if your looking for a comfortable summer shoe, I recommend these.

I love Zappos because of their free shipping and getting the product fast! I also love the fact that they carry many good brands of shoes! I do wish they had more color choices available, instead of being out of stock or unavailable!

I wear Birkenstocks all year long. With socks in the Winter and without in the Summer. I love the fit and the way feel on my feet. The Granada style looks good with slacks, shorts and sun dresses. Love the color too. I do usually order the Narrow because they tend to be wide.

Just gorgeous and another superior experience with Zappos. I ordered these last night and they were on my doorstep this afternoon! I am so pleased! The color I chose was the Red Rose and I was unsure of how bright these going to be but I took a chance and got them anyway because I just love pink. To my surprise and pleasure they are just perfect. They are more of fuchsia and they are not neon at all. Just a really pretty, tasteful pink. Of course, the fit is spot on and true to how a Birkenstock should fit. For those of you who had trouble with the plastic toe piece, this should not be uncomfortable and the space between your toes should not be up against it. For Birkenstocks, like the Arizona I wear a 38 but in Gizeh you must size up one size for them to properly fit so I always wear a 39 in this style. This should eliminate any trouble you have with the toe piece. I used to sell Birkenstocks and this is always the case with this shoe. Trust me on this one! Also the European sizing is a little misleading. In US sizing I am true 8, but in Birkenstock, the 38 is considered a size 7 and the 39 is considered size 8. So, if I am ordering the a Birkenstock, Papillio, Tatami without a toe piece I get the 38, and with a toe piece the 39. I hope that helps people with any sizing issues. Please do not give up on these shoes! I have 10 pair and I have had most of them for 8-9 years. They mold to your foot and fit like a glove. Your foot has to get used to the arches if you are used to wearing flats, flip flops or heels. Also, the Papillio model has less arch support and the Tatami has the most, with the Birkenstock footbed falling somewhere in the middle of those two. If the Birkenstock footbed has too high of an arch, consider the Papillio. Hope this info helps! Love these and I will be getting more colors for sure!

I can't stress enough how much I love these shoes. They are much more like the "older" Birkenstocks in terms of comfort. Remember when they had the nice, soft cork footbed that over time would conform to your foot as you walked around and it warmed up? They were amazing. Then Papillio and the other "Birki" brands started coming out as the company expanded its line -- to the detriment of quality and comfort, I felt. Finally, about 5 years ago, I got new Birkenstock Floridas with the standard footbed the company had begun to use at that time. I spent a year trying to break those rock-hard sandals in...barefoot...with socks...without success. Nothing worked. I finally gave them away and had my older, more comfortable Birks re-soled instead. As a last ditch effort, two years ago I bought the Florida style soft footbed Birkenstock in a beautiful purple suede. If possible, the Florida was even more comfortable than the classic Birkenstock Arizonas I first fell in love with years ago. About the Floridas: the soft and supportive memory foam footbed feels great on my foot, even better with the Floridas three straps to go across the whole foot and keep the shoe in place when I walk. I find that with this style I don't have to grip the footbed with my toes to keep the shoe on, even if I'm hustling along or chasing after kids or dogs. For people who have and love their memory foam or Tempur-pedic mattresses, this is the equivalent for your feet. I don't know why more shoe companies don't use it. I now have four pair of the Birkenstock Soft Footbed sandals, three of them in the Florida style in a variety of colors. I live in the high desert and wear them as slippers in the summer, so they are basically on my feet 24/7 for months out of the year. In terms of special needs for my shoes: I have osteo-arthritis and have been through multiple knee surgeries. The fit and comfort of my shoes is critical, or I will end up limping with knee pain. These are perfection, and quite simply, some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever put on my feet. Note: I don't know why, but most foot surgeons and podiatrists bad mouth Birkenstocks so much, because everyone I know loves them. Maybe because people don't need $500 orthotics when they wear them? They won't win any fashion contests (though I feel the Florida style with it's bright colors is better than the older model Birks) but if comfort is your goal, these are a great choice. Even if you've tried regular or older-model Birkenstocks, the soft footbed on these sets them apart from the rest of the shoe line.

Love Birkenstocks. No break in time, comfortable from the get go. Wish they had these available in widths then I would have gotten a 38 wide. But the 39 still feels great.

If you have trouble with pronation and supination while walking this seems to help. The feel of the footbed is definitely different from the traditional Birkenstock footbed so beware if you are picky about that. It may take a day or two to get use to this footbed. Wear maybe a couple of hours for the first couple of days only before trying to do a full day in these if you have sensitive feet.

Love these sandals. I have bad knees so they help with that and are comfortable. They go great with the tribal look too.

I recently purchased a pair of Birkenstock Granada shoes. I am totally pleased with them. They are not only comfortable, but are very dressy.Granada shoes.

Shoes are great. This is my second pair. They were too large and it was very easy to exchange them with Zappos.

I ordered these shoes last week. I am normally a 7-7.5 so I ordered that size; however, they came in far too large so I returned them and got the 6-6.5 and received them the very next day! They fit perfectly, and didn't even hurt after wearing them for a couple hours. They are good quality and cute, I would only recommend ordering a size smaller.

I love these shoes. Very comfortable and size was correct. The color goes with most of my clothes.

Love my new Gizeh Birkenstock! Just make sure you order a size smaller. I wear a 6.5 (37) & ordered a 5.5 (36) and they fit perfect. So happy with them that I will most definitely be buying another pair (brown)!

Very comfortable, I adore them. Yes, they are ugly as sin, but otherwise perfect in every respect. What other company has a tag on their shoes that says, don't buy another pair. These can be repaired! This is true, though unless you are trekking through gravel on a daily basis, repair may never be needed My other Berkies are over 20 years old and still in great condition. Made in Germany not China, by people earning a living wage instead of working 7 days a week for a few dollars.

What can I say except that this is my go to summer sandal. I have this sandal in three colors and they are the most comfortable sandal ever. Love them.

Love them! I live in Portland, Oregon where you walk everywhere. I wear them everyday in the summer. They are very stylish as well. My feet are happy!

These Birkenstock sandals are a little more feminine than others. Although I am used to wearing thong-type sandals, when I first tried these sandals on, I thought the leather between the toes would rub. However, after wearing them for a short while, that is not the case.
