I used sandpaper :greengrin:
Now I've got sort of nubuk / suede leather

You were brave to attempt such a makeover but what fantastic results! I much prefer your DIY nubuck over the distressed leather.

I got the amalfi's today! and right out of the box they were comfy. I did not adjust the straps (they were wider than my taupe suede) ones but def keeping them and will have to do since I can't find the monterey's
I don't really feel they need a break in at all!

Did anyone see Valentino ss15 sandals? These shoes look like camo birkenstocks!

No way! Frankly, I think the camo ones are ugly and the plain black pair is a blatant copy...and do they cost, like, $900?

On the other hand, it means the Birkie trend will live another season!

I recently found the white ones in stock, but I really really really wanted the black patent or silver metallic Arizonans instead!

Does anyone know where I can find some?
Maybe I'll just go with the white. I don't have any white shoes....

Happyfeet.com has silver arizona w/soft footbed back in stock! Hope they have your size!

That's my thought exactly. I think I'm gonna buy a few more pairs.

thanks, realized my feet look huge on this giant pic, ewwwww! Anyhow, i really like them. the black leather is somewhat dressier i guess.

Any luck finding your HG Montereys!?

I am a little obsessed with the givenchy double strap all black sandals, but they are currently $770! YIKES

I was innocently trying to walk through Nordies shoe department when these leapt off the display into my hand. Taupe suede, soft footbed. ❤️

So I tried these in the givenchy floral pattern when they went on sale. I ended up returning them. They didn't feel as comfy as birks. Also the second strap sat high up closer to my ankle. So it actually cut into my foot where it transitioned into my ankle. Hope that makes sense. But IMHO, not worth the price because of the comfort and feel of them. They didn't feel worth the price. The leather didn't feel that nice iykwim?

Thank you ! I'm kind of flippant in those matters. I had luck :greengrin:
