Thank you! I did just get the black Amalfi leather soft bed and they are super comfy. Every time I wear them they they get softer. I was concerned that because the leather is stiff I might get sore feet, but fortunately this hasn't been the case. They are so great. I highly recommend them.

These look great on everyone and I know they are comfortable. How much walking can you do in them-all day long? Vegas day walking?

I've been wearing birks for years but if you are new to them, you should wear them for only a couple hours at first to break them in, then gradually increase wear time. I wouldn't advise wearing them for the first time on a trip with a lot of walking until you are used to them. These shoes, even with the soft footbed, are far more supportive than any other shoe. Conventional comfort shoes feature pillow-like cushioning that quickly breaks down and offers little support. Once you break in a pair of birks they are the best thing for your feet. I dread getting a new pair because I like my old ones: they get better and better with time.

Thank you for your affirmation !

I love the suede leather, so I thought I need to try again...:lawl:
These Arizonas Amethyst arrived today and I lovelovelove the color. The straps are firmer than on the Taupe Arizonas, I tried,so they'll work for me
It's not possible to capture the true color

It was a bargain (29,50 € incl. shipping ), so I couldn't say no :greengrin:

I'm wondering if anyone tried on the papillio in the leather-the top part over your foot is a little wider and I'm wondering if you get used to it. The patent version is smaller by about 1/4".

The sandals are flattering and comfortable.

I tried the color Stone too, but I didn't like it. Especially the brown sole

All the gray color insole ones I have seen on line come with small round yellow ESD marks on the straps except for yours. Did yours come with them and you took them off? The colors I want in my size only come in ESD ones but I really don't like the yellow thingy. I am wondering if they are removable.

So glad I found this thread! I love my Birks!

I bought a pair of Gizehs in Mocha a few months ago and have been pretty much obsessed. Yesterday I bought a pair of suede taupe Arizonas and I'm excited to try those out!

Did it take you a while to get used to the Gizeh vertical leather piece over your foot-it's wider than the non leather version.....I was thinking I would get used to it?

It's Ramses. Yes, the leather is a bit stiff. I'm wearing them for short time ( got always a second pair in my car), to get no blisters.

I cut the straps with kitchen scissors :greengrin:, they were way too long. The yellow mark is ugly and I'm afraid it can't be taken off, without leaving a whole or other damages.

Was it hard to cut evenly with scissors?
