Thanks for the suggestions :tup: I'll order a 37 since I think the 38 would be too big then! I wish y'all would post more outfit ideas because that's what usually "seals the deal" for me when I'm looking at shoes I'm not 100% sure I'd be able to pull off :lol:
 
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 :sad: Can someone advise me?

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 right:)
 
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! :tup: 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!

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.
 
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.
This is the only style I ever saw with soft footbed , it's called Mirror Silver. I love them !
