Just as an FYI: the leather Arizonas definitely took longer to break in than the suede (the most comfy pair ever!). So much that I actually did it very slowly and wore the suede pair or my Mayaris in the meanwhile. The are now absolutely lovely!

So, patience... Especially while you have that blister! They'll be worth it in the end :love:

Yes, the hard leather takes some getting used to I see. They seem very sturdy though.

What do you know! I turned the strap over and there was some hard glue stuff right on the edge of the underside of that strap. It was dark in color and raised up from the leather. I took a nail file and filed it off and now the strap doesn't cut me anymore. Silly of me not to look in the first place!

Glad they're not hurting you anymore!

You ladies are such enablers, I ordered both of these tonight:

I just got these and I love them, but they're cutting the top right of my big toe on my left foot. The other shoe is fine. Are there any tricks to breaking them in? This is my first pair of the two strap style. My poor toe has a bad blister!

The shipping was free for a second pair so I needed them, right?[emoji6]. I also won a pair of purple Mayaris yesterday.

Did you by chance order from the seller in Germany? I ordered two pair (the same gold pebbled and navy suede) back on the 17th. I haven't been able to track the package so I'm not sure when it's coming.
Anyone else have experience buying from Germany to the U.S.?

hi girls! so I have 2 pairs of gizehs, a metallic navy and a metallic teal tht I love and have had for 3 years or so. a few weeks ago I also got the asphalt Arizonas. well yesterday I went shopping with a friend who got her first pair , a black pair of gizehs. I have been obsessing ever since that I want a black pair of gizehs as well, but is that excessive?! I already have a dark pair (the navy metallic ) or can I justify this by saying they're a classic? I'm torn!

I don't think that's excessive! If you love them and know you'll wear them, get them! :smile1:

You don't have a black pair, so I say go for it. However, I have 10 pairs now so I may be a bit biased... :)

If the seller is shipping via DHL, I'm afraid , you'll wait a long time. Deutsche Post + DHL employes / staffer (?) are on strike since 10th. I'm waiting for a bunch of packages. They are all in distribution centers and there's no way forward atm. I'm sympathetic to them, of course !
But on the other hand...I want my packages :shucks::greengrin:

Just heard, they'll open negotiations again ! Lets hope for the best !

Is this another pair of Mayaris, or the pinkish ones you got recently?

Yes, these are comfy but sometimes you just can't wear them with an outfit......YKWIM?

I know what you mean- sometimes I wonder when I can wear them, or if they are too casual for my clothes- but they're so comfy that I wear them often!

Surprisingly, mine came today! I love the navy suede Arizonas- not totally sure about the gold pebbled... they're soooo gold...
