I think you got my Nordstrom return. Glad they are going to a good home! I had ordered the 40 when they were still labeling them as a 9, and they were too big for me. Last night a 39 popped back up, hopefully they will ship.

Too funny, small world!
I'm new to Birks, could you tell me have you tried other styles and if so how did the Monterey compare?
I read that one poster said they ran larger than her Arizona.
I wear a 39 narrow in the Arizona and the Madrid. Since the monterey's were a size too large for me, it was hard to tell, but they actually weren't swimming on me, so I don't think they run much differently.
I don't think I have shared my Zurichs in Cocoa Suede with soft footbed and a size 37 Regular.
I love this style and don't ever think I have seen anyone else wearing it.

Preordered these
Pebbled Metallic Nubuk leather
I've no clue, when they'll be delivered
ooh, nice!!
I just bought a pair of the Gizehs today at Nordstrom Rack. I'm hoping I can break them in enough to wear them on my trip to NYC later this month. Do you guys think these would be ok for a moderate amount of walking or would the Arizona style be better? Or would you not recommend any style of Birks for a lot of walking? I've loved seeing the pictures everyone has posted, they were very helpful 
Oh, I'd love to see your Gizeh's! Are you okay walking with a plastic piece in-between your toes?I just bought a pair of the Gizehs today at Nordstrom Rack.

If you are, you might be able to wear them, in NYC!!

If you normally do well with toe thongs, you might be fine with these. I recently went to DC, and my patent Arizonas were the only shoes I could wear for a full day of walking - everything else ended up rubbing somewhere unexpected. I've had Gizehs in the past that carried me painlessly through Universal Studios parks, so they definitely work for me (but ymmv).
I am ok with walking with flip flops/thong sandals. I actually have a lot of space between my big toe and the next one so those types of shoes are usually fine for me. My problem recently is that the balls of my feet start to burn when I wear flip flops for too long so I'm hoping these Birks will help wirh that. I'm attaching a picture below
I'm expecting to do an amount of walking comparable to spending a day in a theme park so it's good to know the Gizehs worked for you. I have to admit, after seeing all of the wonderful pictures posted here I might end up buying some Arizonas as well lol. I hope you enjoyed your visit to DC, that's not far from me
