unisex-adult ThongGizeh Pl V- Black Bf R

I absolutely love this style. The cozy / soft underside of the strap has prevented blisters or rubbing when the sandals are new. My feet tend to blister really easily too, esp. in hot weather. The style is a narrower cut, even in the non-narrow option, so for those of us women with long narrow feet they are a great style, because the narrower foot bed and also the long narrow strap up the center, really shows off a long lean foot and may even inspire a little pedicure treat! I have been wearing this exact style and colour of Birkenstock sandal for nearly a decade. This pair is my third pair, which speaks to how long they last! In fact, you can see in one of my photos my five-year-old pair. Other than adding cork sealant (see MAINTENANCE below) I have not had any updates to soles or cork. They are still holding together beautifully and super comfy, but a are being relegated to garden and chicken-yard use now. :) I tend to wear a US size 12 and the 43 is perfect, remembering they do compress with wear, so your feet with "snuggle" down into the foot bed with time. That said, you do NOT want your toes to press out over the front ridge, or your heel the back as this will wear on the structure of the sandal. As far as Birkenstocks as a brand, I find they've maintained their quality over the years--hooray! And the price on this product was wonderful. MAINTENANCE: The one item you might want to have on hand is cork sealer to repaint on the sides of the cork footbed a time or two every season, this keeps the cork sealed and moist so it doesn't split and dry out. I have always used Kelly's Cork Renew and it's worked great, though there are lots of options out there. Just follow the instructions on the bottle, and be sure that that includes really letting the seal dry before taking them out for a walk, I'd recommend overnight (10-12 hours).

So comfortable

Had for a little bit, they are durable and fit really nicely. Great product, I used them for multiple summers and I do alot of walking.

A few weeks ago my husband and I did a ton of walking in London and I injured my foot. My doctor suggested I wear Birkenstocks because they have a stiffer sole, so I ordered the Gizeh because I really liked the style (I got them much cheaper through Amazon). I chose the Onyx because I could not decide between black or silver and I'm glad I did. The Onyx is a dark silvery gray and they go with everything. The first time I wore them out I got a compliment from a stranger. A few things about the comfort of these sandals. When you initially wear them they feel stiff/hard and the piece that goes between the toes was uncomfortable for me even though I'm used to wearing flip-flops. I knew about these issues beforehand from reading other reviews, so I stuck with them and wore them around the house everyday. After less than 2 weeks they became the most comfortable pair of sandals I've ever owned, even with my high arch. I ordered the regular width and they are just right with my narrow heel and slightly wide toes. I wear these constantly, even around the house instead of going barefoot because they're more comfortable. I wasn't sure what size to order because I normally wear 7.5 and a 38 in European styles (my Naot Kirei are 38). Other reviewers said to go down a size, so I ordered a 38 and a 37. The 37's are perfect. I plan to order more of these in other colors. I LOVE them and highly recommend!! **** UPDATE **** After wearing these sandals constantly they still look great and feel amazing, so I ordered another pair. My sister-in-law tried them on and loved them so much she ordered 2 pairs. She did comment on the piece between the toes and I told her it had bothered me too but I got used to it. It's definitely worth breaking in these sandals.

I love these sandals. They are so comfortable! I highly recommend.

These are good sandals. They're comfortable, but not for walking in all day in my opinion. I work with kids, and I also cannot wear them to the playground and run around in them for hours (but that's not what they're made for). I'm happy walking around the city in them for a few hours a day. I hit the pavement really hard, so I've been told, and they provide good support for my feet, but not enough for my back. I think if you don't have any back issues they are comfy. They are not the most attractive, but this is a nice neutral blue color, so they go with anything. And as far as comfortable sandals go, they look pretty nice. They are also great quality! I would buy them again.

Couldn't settle in although I could years ago when they came popular. I'm the problem, it's me!

They are great! Love them and super comfortable❤️😁
