BirkenstockWomen's Gizeh Eva Sandals

I absolutely love these! At first when they arrived I was a little bit disappointed as they were so light I wondered if I’d been ripped off, but then I put them on and I have barely taken them off since. They’re so light and easy to wear, I wear them as slippers around the house as they are so comfy, and I wear them everywhere else as well. They are also really easy to clean, I just run them under the shower head for a quick wash every now and then. I love how they look, they’re really stylish and go with any casual outfit as well as a pretty summer dress. While it’s warm these are my go-to sandals every single day, I can’t recommend them enough!Ps. Definitely size down when purchasing - I’m a 5.5 in normal shoes so went for a 4.5 and they’re great.*update* I wore these pretty much every day all summer. I’m wearing them again now it’s getting warmer and they still look as good as new after constant use a year on. Definitely worth buying! I will wear these until they fall apart then I’ll buy another pair straight away!*second update* I’m into my third summer of wearing these, they have lasted so well considering I had worn them for the previous two summers, non-stop. Last summer I was heavily pregnant and barely took them off and they still look pretty new. Well worth the money and beyond. I can’t believe the wear I’ve got out of these!*third update* I’m on my third summer in these and they still look great. There isn’t as much grip on the bottom now so I might have to consider buying some more soon, but these really are a lot hardier than they first appear! They’re so good!

Best purchase for summer! I've worn these everyday since the day I bought them. As they are made of Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) (it's an extremely elastic material that can be sintered to form a porous material similar to rubber) they are really light, soft, yet hard wearing footwear. Just like all Birkenstock sandals they are long lasting and super comfortable with their support and quality manufacturing. They are perfect for day-to-day to wear in the garden, the city, the beach and in fact I'd wear them ANY where, and i have! They look fab with jeans, skirts, shorts, holiday sarongs, etc. Even though there is no felt where the toes are, it only took a solid day of wearing them that my feet became adjusted to these sandals, just like any pair of shoes and then my feet were fine. I cant recommend these enough!

I bought these to wear on my African trip last summer. They are extremely light weight, plastic, but so comfortable and fit my foot like a glove. I ended up wearing them all the time, even on long treks and they held up so well. Also, because they are plastic you just need to rinse them if they get dirty and they look like new. I must admit at first I was not sure, as I like leather sandals, but I really was pleasantly surprised. I only took hand luggage with me for my long trip as I didn't want to have any hold luggage, and because these are so light it really helped with my packing.

These are so comfortable. I suffer from flat feet and get pain from most types of shoes, especially those that are completely flat. I find it hard to find a pair of shoes that look okay while giving my the right support. I have always wanted a pair of birkenstocks, but I am not fond of the cork colour which most tend to have. I was glad to find this pair which was 100% black, ideal!The first time I wore them I actually suffered a bit of pain in my arch, as if the arch support was too high. But I persevered and they have felt unbelievably comfortable since then. I think it just takes a little while for your foot to get used to this level of support. These shoes allow me to walk hours without suffering from any pain, which I never thought was possible.I would say that the material of these are not as high quality as normal birkenstock shoes. They are made of plastic, and are super light. Good if you're travelling or in situations where your feet may get wet.The only downside I have is that because of the material it means the sole isn't very breathable. If you're wearing these in warm weather and your feet get sweaty, you may find the sole gets a bit uncomfortable after a while as there is no where for it to go. But otherwise a wonderful pair of cheap, conformable shoes.

Theses are ideal for holidays as you can wash in shower and use as slippers

As someone who lives in flip flops in the summer but has been told not to wear them because they aggravate my lower back pain, I have been delighted to discover Birkenstocks. They took a few days to wear in but are now so comfortable that I can't see me wearing anything else all summer! They feel very supportive and the high strap means that they stay on well - I have walked miles in them. The most important thing for me was realising that they aren't a flip flop and should be securely fitted to your foot - once I tightened the strap so they weren't flopping up and down it made an immediate difference to the comfort of the shoe. I am usually a 6.5 and the 39 is a good fit. Don't be tempted to go too small as you need room for your feet away from the edges. I'm a Birks convert!

I am thrilled with this version of my beloved Birkenstocks - I have had the original Gizeh (with cork soles) in a variety of colours over the years but these lighter, softer, 'rubbery' ones are my favourites. Great price, very light and comfortable, full arch and toe support as always but smarter and less likely to get 'tatty' looking as there is no cork. Highly recommended!
