Birkenstock Gizeh Eva Flip Flops Women Black Flip Flops Shoes

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.

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!

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!

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.

Historically I found the regular Birkenstock shoe rather heavy on the toes. Plus the fact you should not get them wet.Having recently broken a couple of toes and not being able to wear shoes Birkenstock were recommended by the hospital until I could get shoes on again.I bought this variety, a regular Birkenstock and a Birkenstock clog from a shoe store. So impressed with these plastic ones I bought a pair for 'he who is not often listened to'.They are incredibly light to wear, you can get them wet and are far more comfortable to wear than the regular ones. A great deal better looking than Crocs as well.The downside - they are often out of stock.

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

UPDATE AUGUST 2021. I purchased these in September 2019, and within a couple of weeks had serious blisters on the ball of my left foot. I wore them again during the summer of 2020, and as long as I only wore them around the house all was fine. However, the first time I wore them again for a longish flat walk I had huge blisters in the same place. The fault with the left sandal has just got worse, with the leather stretching so much that I was unable to adjust it to fit. Terrible quality. Purchased from TOPBRANDS4YOU, through Amazon, but I reckon they were either Birkenstock seconds or knock-offs. TERRIBLE PRODUCT, DO NOT BUY FROM THESE SUPPLIERS. I have had to buy another pair this year, but I purchased direct from Birkenstock. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!My podiatrist recommended Birkenstock as I have been having problems with my feet. When product arrived all seemed OK, fit was good and they looked quite nice. I left for a short holiday the next day so decided to take them with me to wear. They were quite comfortable, even allowing for 'breaking them in'. However, the strap on the left sandal was longer than the strap on the right sandal, and to get the right sandal to fit properly it has pulled the centre strap to one side, making it look a bit lopsided. A little disappointed with the quality as expected the brand to be top quality.
