Okay I couldn't resist lol 
I went back to the store today and although they couldn't price match exactly, they did lower the price quite a bit and I just had to get them. I loooove them!
Btw, I thought I needed the Gizeh in narrow like I do the Arizona, but nope! I tried on a 39N in these that they had, as well as a 38N in the regular ones and my toes and sides were going over. They explained that they aren't as wide as the Arizona to begin with, so the 38R worked out for me after all

Love the Kairos !
Oops, mine are navy leather, not suede.I bought so many pairs of shoes this spring that I'm confused!
Shoes prices are always higher in Canada.Even the 40€ ones will cost more here. I remember seeing Birks and Papillio for very reasonable prices in Berlin when I was there years ago. Too bad I wasn't fashion forward enough to grab a few pairs then...and now I'm paying more for the hype.
Obviously, you'll have to visit Germany again !
This thread makes me want to change my style (especially jeans) ! Thank you all for the inspiration !
Imo, there can't be not enough hype for comfortable fashion

GORGEOUS!!! Great choice. You will get tons of wear out of them!
Thank you! I know you have the black Monterey and I love those too. The store told me they are soooo hard to find in black, but they had them in dark brown, unfortunately not in my size. I tried them on in a 37N though to get the idea and they are so cute too. Having it be all leather really makes the shoe look less casual.
Where did you find yours?
did you see the 35s on luisaviaroma? they have free returns and shipping in the US (i think).that style is sold out, last years model. 36 was too big on me
i need 35's which are hard to come by anywhere..........
Don't judge me for paying this much...
They were the only place I could find that actually had 39s in stock.http://www.bigdreams.com.au/birkenstock-monterey-exquisite-black.html
yes I saw them, tempted, but not convinced they run the same. The Birks run so large, and I have 36-38 in IM so go figure.
thanks

Oh no judging here lol! I paid a little bit over 2 for the black Gizehs. I looked everywhere online and even called Birkenstock USA. They were completely out of stock. I think that if you love something and you will utilize it, then it's totally worth it

Wow, lucky you!
No judgement from me, I was ready to go for it, but this place told me they are out for 10 -12 weeks too.
Bought the black oiled leather Athens the other day but were too small, so have sent off for a bigger size as well as some Gizehs in some kind of brown leather. Should be in tomorrow or the day after, so exciting.
It's so nice to be able to buy something high quality and made in Europe for not outrageous prices!

Oh, definitely. You'll have to share your feedback once you wear them. I do find the Exquisites to be stiffer (leather lined footbed? thicker leather for straps?), definitely not as comfy as regular Birks. I'm hoping they soften up.
