These Birks were the Holy Grail of shoes for me for this summer, and I could. NOT. find. them. I was too slow on the draw to get them from Nordies, and everywhere else seemed to be sold out. I ordered them from two other places which later cancelled the order because they couldn't get them.
I finally found them at a place called http://www.shopakira.com/products/birkenstock-arizona.html
Their description is incorrect, because these have a regular footbed and not the soft, and the description does not mention that they are a Birkenstock narrow (which is a medium width for most people anyway, but still, it isn't the "Regular" footbed and the description doesn't specify). Last time I checked they still had most sizes available, and I found a 25% off coupon online, which actually worked (most places don't accept coupon codes for Birkenstocks).
Anyway, they aren't perfect (I would have preferred the soft footbed and the Regular width), but they will do. I thought I'd let anyone else know who might have missed the boat on the ones at Nordies that these are still available. I paid no shipping, and they arrived in about 5 business days.

I like the Athens
Thanks!
I wore the Gizehs out for the first time the other day and was amazed at how comfortable they were, even though I did a lot of walking. Very pleased.
Been noticing though I lot of people have these shoes a size or two too small, I always see their toes hanging over the edge. >.> I think it must defeat the point of having comfy shoes...
Love your style

My suede Gizehs arrived today from UK. They'll stay anyhow !
Very nice -- the white sole is perfect for summer!
I have a pair! Can't remember the name of the shade but it's a sort of bronze-gold colour. Love them, so comfortable! I've had the Gizeh, Florida and Madrid before but this style is my favourite so far.

I love these!! Does anyone know where I can get them in size 35 narrow? Or any other color patent or silver arizona?
Ugh, I am so sorry. The site seems to be out of them now, or at least doesn't have them listed, when they had almost all sizes still listed yesterday. I will search for the same style elsewhere, but I looked for these for almost 2 months without any luck - everyone is sold out.
Yup, same size
We are feet twins! I just got back into town and finally had the chance to try on my narrow Arizonas and they're perfect! Thanks for all your help!!
I have the regular footbed Arizonas. I love this shade of taupe! I wanted a pair of Arizonas that would kind of fade into the background of my outfit and go with everything and these are it!
I've seen "Iron" in person and it's hard to describe but it's a deep charcoal with a brown undertone. It almost looks like a piece of iron that's on the verge of rusting over. It's a warm grey instead of a cool (blue undertone) grey. It also scuffs pretty easily too from the pair of Arizonas that I saw. Just wanted to add my two cents!!
You are so right! I got my narrow Arizonas and they're perfect
When I see "narrow" I automatically know it's not for me but Birk narrow is something completely different, that's for sure. Thanks for the help!
Do you all find your Birkenstocks to be comfortable immediately? I know the footbed needs to break in but I kind if feel like these granadas aren't shaped right for my foot and like I would need to "grip" with my toes while walking which would actually worsen my foot problem.
