Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh EVA Essentials

Comfy and waterproof but I could not take one step without it sounding like my foot was farting. Like your foot suctions to the shoe. It’s loud too. Had to return.

I'm a long time Birkenstock wearer and I have several pair of Gizehs. I ordered my regular size and they were too short and narrower than the regular Gizehs. Ordered the next size up and they were sloppy on my feet. Another reviewer mentioned a 'fart' noise; I also got that when I was walking in the larger ones. Even if these had fit perfectly, they would have been returned....that noise was really irritating. Returned both orders. First unsuccessful Birkenstock purchase. ever.

I tried a cheaper brand and they were not as “sturdy” as these. I wore these on the beach wondering if the toe post would rip as the shoes slid around while I tried to walk on the sand. Nope.the comfort of a soft flip flop with the familiar Birk support bed. I’m now buying another pair in another color. Love!

I bought these sandals as I already had the same model in cork and thought these would be a great and more chic version in all black. I am pregnant with my first child and a former colleague once conveyed to me that the best pregnancy advice she ever received was to get a good pair of Birkenstock’s and never go barefoot. If you’re cleaning around the house, doing laundry, etc., never do so without your Birks. She said her feet never grew/changed and her back never really bothered her during her pregnancy. This advice came from her friend that was a podiatrist. I work from home and wear these or my other Birkenstock’s all day, every day. I love my all black EVAs more than my first pair. They are so light and the material is so soft. The support they provide is amazing and the black looks great with everything. I can’t say enough good things about these sandals and give them the highest recommendation!

I'm a true size 9 and wear a 39 in Birks - these fit just like my regular Gizehs, so order your normal Birkenstock size. I own 3 of these sandals in different colors - they are comfy and lightweight!

Product is great, but had to return because there was a yellow stain on it.

I can't believe I bought plastic Birkenstocks. I also can't believe how many people compliment these Gizehs, and don't even realize they are EVA, until I say, "Thanks, would you believe they're plastic?" I bought the black which may account for that. I wanted a pair of thong-type sandals after reading that they can stimulate reflexology points helpful to health. I expected to only wear them around the house, but I like them so much that I wear them out. I don't think any thong shoe is very comfortable to wear on long walks, etc., but these have been great for running errands. They fit just as well as all my Birkenstocks have. I was concerned about breathability, but I really don't notice an issue. I have worn some synthetic shoes that felt clammy and icky, but so far these have not. In short, I'm quite pleased with the shoes!

Got these shoes to wear around the house. Like them so much, that I ordered a pair in leather for outside. My size is normally a 6 1/2 but had to order the 36 which is one size down.

I love the style but the flap that goes over the toe rubbed when I took a step. I found them to be extremely uncomfortable and returned them. I have short, wide toes. I’d guess if my feet were a different shape I would have loved them.

I’m a 8.5-9 shoe size, I ended up with the 38 in these but could have gone either way. They did make squawk sounds at first but it seemed to go away after the first 1-2 times wearing them. Comfortable & cute, I got them to use as pool sandals & they work well for that. Better support than flip flops

Bought this item because I love my regular Birkenstock’s. They fit my big, wide feet perfectly but I wanted something I can wear if it’s wet outside. These are stylist and cute but too narrow. My feet were hanging over the sides. Have to return. Too bad, because they were cute.

Cute shoes and I thought they would be great for the beach but after trying them on I felt the material was too thin and did not provide enough support and cushioning. Sadly, have to send them back to Zappos.

One shoe got stretched without me doing anything And now they look awful. I can’t wear them.

Fit is true to size. They are perfect for florida weather, dress up or dress down. Most Comfortable Birkenstocks I own. Buying in several colors!!! The pink is so cute, its light but not too light of a color and gives that splash of color when needed!

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

I was surprised how much I liked these since I prefer leather for my sandals. These are like flip-flop material only sturdier. They look cute and can be work to the pool. I wear a size 5 or 5.5 and the size 36 fit. My leather Birkenstocks are a size smaller (4 / 4.5) 35 fit do these may run a bit small relative to other Birkenstocks.

For some reason these feel a tad larger than my other size 36 birks but they work for me. They are really comfortable and minimal time to break in. Love that they are water friendly. The faded lime color is definitely more on the yellow side than green. Probably more "faded lemon" than lime! But I love them:)

I have been buying Birkenstocks for 30 years. the fit is firm but very comfortable.

Size down but very comfy flip flop. Better than the usual ones that give no support.

I love these - I still wear them all the time - 2 years later. Fit is tts.

These are my go to shoes. Easy to clean off. Wear them to run out side to take the dogs out, to the pool, to run errands.

3rd pair. These are multipurpose. Awesome sandal

Very comfortable sandal that can be worn in water

These saved me during pregnancy. I could not find a comfortable sandal to fit my swollen feet. I loved them so much. I purchased the white again and searched and purchased other colors. These will be my summer go to sandal.

Most comfortable sandals EVER! I have always owned at least a few pairs of Birkenstocks and these take the cake in comfort and style. The only thing is I had to size down a whole size with these because I have narrow feet. I think I love this material better than the cork....
