Has anyone found the mayari's with a soft footbed? I can't find any anywhere. I would prefer real leather but would take a synthetic at this point.
So my Arizonas came in... They feel big! Even though I ordered a size down (I'm a size 7 US or 38 EU; ordered 37 EU), they feel big. I feel like it's weird to have to tighten the straps down all the way? And the box says they're narrow fit too 
Can someone advise me?

I wear a 7 US and ended up with 36's in the Milano. Mine were a little tight when I got them but they have stretched out since they are leather.
I'm glad you went with 37 and not 38. From what I can see it looks like it fits you nicely. Does not look big - looks just rightSo my Arizonas came in... They feel big!

Thank you so much! I really appreciated all of your advice on the sizing
I tightened the upper strap all the way and now they don't slip off! I'm so happy with them
Sooooo bummed!
I finally found anthracite arizonas in my size.
They arrived with a scuff on the leather.
I used a soft dry cloth to try to rub the scuff off...the scuff remained but the anthracite color came off leaving a bright silver spot!!!! Couldn't believe it.
I am so sad...this was going to be the perfect color to go with everything.
I am not ordering a replacement because if the color comes off that easily I do not want them.
If you could have only ONE pair of Arizonas, what color and material would you choose??

Sorry to hear that....Maybe you can return them for your money back.
I have really small feet and wear a size 33 and so my choices are more limited in terms of material. I currently have the Arizonas in Mocha and I have the Gizehs in white as well as a pink pair. I also have the Madrids in black patent. All of mine are Birko Flor because again, they don't have a wide choice of materials in kid sizes
I personally love my white Gizehs best as they are versatile and comfortable. I wouldn't mind getting a pair of white Arizonas if I can find one in my size.

They look great on your feet!
And the fit looks perfect.Whenever I've bought a pair of Birks at a shoe store they always tell me they'll be glad to punch an extra hole in the straps if they feel too loose. And I can bring them back and get an extra hole punched if they stretch out after I've worn them a bit. And some do stretch.
I have slightly wide feet and an Arizona Narrow is a perfect fit. The unisex Birks feel a little wide, though super-comfy, and I usually end up with extra holes punched in the straps after about six months of wear.
Enjoy your new shoes!
Am I crazy for wanting these?
That is a nice color! I love the patent leather with the soft footbed, they feel like pillows and the straps are so soft. I wish they made more colors, got black, white, taupe and gray last year.
No.
If you get them be sure to tell us if they're comfortable. They're awful cute.
This is the only style I ever saw with soft footbed , it's called Mirror Silver. I love them !
I wish they had more colors !

I hesitated and they are already sold out! In just 2 days!
I did find the other pair I've been hunting. I'd have to order them from Norway. Does anyone have these? I love the exquisite line!
