I have done tons of walking in NYC in my Arizonas, and they have been a dream. I don't know about the Gizehs though-the toe piece might get annoying if you are walking a lot.

I wore a pair of brand-new Gizehs for the first time during our month-long trip to Europe (took a chance that they'd be comfortable!). We walked between 4 to 6 miles daily for 4 weeks, on uneven cobblestone streets and they were super duper comfy! They're cute too. :p

Thank you both for your replies! I wore my Gizehs out for the first time yesterday for about 4 hours. I had no problem with the thing between my toes but my arches were sore, and they're still hurting today. I'm hoping that this will get better with more wear but I'm not sure? I do like how comfortable they are (other than the arch issue) and I'm actually going to the mall today to see if I can find a pair of Arizonas.

Hi Nova! My arches were aching after the first few times out, too. But they stopped hurting after a couple days as my feet got used to the molding in the footbed. So, it's possible that the soreness may pass with continued wear! :p

I bought a few pairs of birks this summer and each pair took me a while to get used to. My feet were also sore. On the website it says to break them in gradually to let your feet get used to the shoes. They become more comfortable with wear.

Nordstroms has Montereys sizes 37-41 available to order online now! It has a ship date of Oct. 9 though, hoping they'll ship out sooner.

Thank you for the info!
...I'm tempted but the Summer will be over. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and purchase them on ebay. I'm rationalizing paying the mark up for being able to wear them for the next 2 months (vs Nordies October 9th!) and they're won't be taxes (that's almost $20!)....Yes I'm slowly convincing myself...

hi Ladies, anyone looking at some Boston Clogs for fall? I have worn my Birks all summer but it's time to start shopping for shoes. I had a pair of bostons years ago, but didn't have the soft footbed. Will look for the soft footbed for sure.
