crap, I´ve failed... I have more than 1 pair of birks, but within this process I noticed that I am a 41 regular, but some models, they tend to bother me in the arch area, and also bought and used 42 regulars, and they feel Awesome at first use!!! unlike 41's! so what, that makes me a 42 user? even though they look a little big on me, but just if you look closely and stare at them, then you´ll notice... so, at the end, maybe by using a size up and checking if they do not look so big nor they fly off your feet while walking, maybe, you´ve found the perfect recipe for the "most comfortable shoes" in the world!

Thank YOU so much for sharing I love birks too own arizona and kairo sz 41,the kairo is most comfy cause the string in back of the foot is so loose and this feeling I only get with Kairos. They even look so beautiful on girls especially with painted toenails! I have an asd diagnosis so I'm pretty shy to contact especially girls I'm 46yr and about 20yrs not having a girlfriend to be peaceful with. Wish you all the best and enjoy the birks feeling❤😊
@evaevangelou I would date a girl who rocks a pair of Birks any day, in fact id love it if she wore Birkenstocks on the first date, i’d even compliment her on it :) . As long as she can put up with my adidas slides and Nike Foamposits 😂. Casual and comfortable is the way to go, I prefer If she’s wearing Birks over heels any day 😎. You look absolutely gorgeous in them 🔥 🔥 💯.
Thank you for making a part 2! I have the black leather Arizona Birkens I call them my “Jesus sandals” lol, and I’ve worn them twice, the first time for about a hour or so and the second time for over 4 hours and didn’t understand why they were so uncomfortable and couldn’t wait to get home to take them off, and do research of why. I’m flat footed on my right foot so that one hurt the most just like you said in the arch area, so now I know I have to painfully break them in 😭😂. I thought it was just me, wish more people would make videos so people can be aware before buying or be prepared for the journey lol
@@eva.evangelou update! I’ve slowly been breaking them in around the house and running small errands, and I can proudly say they’ve started to break in, I ran errands and went grocery shopping for about for about 3 hours and no pain, they really are getting better with time 🤗
Idk. I feel like I need a part 3 now to answer the burning question- Did they grow on you so much that you bought a second pair? Did you replace your entire shoe shelf with Birks?
Stimmt, der Zehensteg bei Gizeh ist sehr hart und auch aus Kunststoff. Somit kann er niemals weicher werden beim Einlaufen. Vielleicht auch mal das Modell "Mayari" ausprobieren. Die Zehenschlaufe ist aus dem gleichen Material, wie der Rest der Riemen. Leder oder Birkoflor. Birkoflor ist sehr weich, Leder wird beim Tragen mit der Zeit weich. Auch optisch finde ich Mayari schöner als Gizeh. Einfach mal testen.
Why did you wear them if they were not comfortable for you and you don’t like them??? My experience is completely different. I love them, they are comfortable from day 1 and my feet have enough space. No blisters whatsoever. But all depends on the form of your feet.
Lucky that you found the comfy from the beginning. Hmmm why - perhaps society's idea on 'beauty needs pain' wore off on me a little bit :P Just kidding as I don't think they're the most beautiful... Buuuut... they are super comfy so probably the general idea that it would have been worth it and so many people were probably not so wrong.
Birks are just too narrow in the midfoot for me. When it curves in for the arch on the inside it just destroys my feet. Tried to "wear them in" for over a year but i had to give up because they were just too painful. Mostly wear barefoot shoes and theyre way more comfortable.
@@eva.evangelou again your Birkenstocks I love it. Your Birkenstock do they stink? I hope I can buy it from you for €100 😍 make more videos about your Birkenstock and how they’re looking after every seasons. Do you think you’ll buy another one Birkenstocks? Maybe videos about new Birkenstocks😊👍🏻🙏🏻
Have they not ruined your feet if you are a dancer. Was always told by my ballet teachers not to wear those shoes as your arch support comes from the shoe and not your own muscle.
I like Birkenstocks and they are Comfortable and I like to Wear them Without Socks to take My Socks off and To Air my Feet Out and Birkenstocks are Better Without Socks Also Sandals are meant to Air Your Feet Out and take your Socks off
@@eva.evangelou don't know and I like to wear them Without Socks and Sandals are meant to be worn without Socks and take your Socks off and also Wearing them without Socks they sweat less and some people wear them with Socks and I think that without Socks is better and they are better without Socks and to take your Socks off
@@loganshaver5955Ich trage Birkenstock meistens barfuß, aber manchmal auch mit Socken und langer Hose, wenn es nicht warm genug ist. Zum Beispiel im Frühling und Herbst.
Love Birks and own 2 pairs Arizona Now i bought Gizeh and i have one major problen! The toe split hurts a lot😢and makes blisters. What to do? Plz help!
@erikpedersen7843 if the toe bar hurts, it's probably a sizing issue. Usually it's because the shoes are a size too small (most people buy Birks too small, which is also the reason they never feel comfortable for some people: the bumps in the footbed are in slightly the wrong place). Another reason could be too tight/too loose straps. If neither, you may just not be a "thong-style" wearer and should stick to Arizona's. (I can't wear Arizona's because I have a bunion and the strap presses into it, so the Gizeh's are perfect for me.)
Oh excellent! I'd really appreciate if you use the link in the description if you do decide to buy - I'd get a small Amazon commission at no extra cost to you. I had to Google who Karen Gillan is - I maybe see the face a little bit - what is she in where I remind you of her? I'll have a sneak peak :)
@@eva.evangelou She's best known for her role in Doctor Who, I think. She comes off as bubbly, funny, kinda goofy in interviews. It's a compliment! :) I'd love to use the link but I'm in Korea...
@boomtowncat2876 I tried to get a link, but sadly there is no affiliate program for Korea. Do you use Amazon US or India or any other to place orders by any chance?
I've worn mine everyday for months from 5-90 min at a time. My feet still hurt wearing them especially the outside of my heel. I've gotten bad blisters and cracks in my heels from wearing them. :(
Oh so sorry to hear that :( sometimes the shoe just doesn't fit... do you have this issue with other sandals or just these? Sounds like you've given it as good a go as you could have.
@@eva.evangelou I've never gotten blisters on the sides of my heals. I have had issues with very cracked heals in the summer from wearing sandals. Yesterday I tried tightening the buckle one notch. They are quite snug (almost too snug) now but seem to feel better when walking.
@@wandabreighner5949Eventuell die falsche Weite? Es gibt Birkenstock in schmal und normal. Vielleicht auch falsche Größe? Es müssen vorn und hinten einige Millimeter Platz zum Rand sein, wenn du darin stehst. Viele kaufen die Birkenstock zu klein und dann stehen die Füße auf dem Rand, was sehr schmerzhaft ist und natürlich Blasen verursacht. Die Riemen sollten locker eingestellt werden und schon gar nicht eng. Der Halt kommt überwiegend vom Fußbett.
I love Birkenstocks as well they are the best , I wear them everywhere , even to the gym with socks. But they look soo worn and gross when it has your dark footprint on the leather, it honestly makes my sandals stink soo bad 🤢🤮
I have just ordered 2 pairs - Gizeh and Kairo, as I just need comfortable sandals right now. Your video is really giving me good vibes, and am feeling confident about my purchase. - Love from India! ❤️
5:26 It's pronounced "GEE-zuh" just like Giza in Egypt. Confirmed by a Birkenstock authorized seller.
Youre supposed to clean the footbed with rubbig alcohol or lemon 1x a month. This prevents bacteria buildup and stench

Sadly Amazon is NOT an authorized Birkenstock dealer, according to Birkenstock. Zappos, however, is authorized.
