Customer Reviews Birkenstock Yara

I love these shoes! Make sure to treat them with the cork sealer periodically! Keep the ankle straps really loose. They are not meant to restrict your natural foot movement!!!

I have flat feet and need support- Birks have always been great and bought these to replace a faithful pair I had. These are cute and easy to dress up and down- a little break in period, as with all Birkenstocks- but feel great. The ankle strap fit just right and keeps the sandal in place too. Love the oiled leather color. If you coat the cork foot bed sides with the sealer they sell, it will make yours last even longer. A great investment in sandals, fabulous support and a cute look.

Ok, I read and re-read reviews from here and from other sites selling these shoes and the majority seemed to feel that these ran large. They do not. Maybe if you have short toes I guess but I'm a size 9, and a 40 in Dansko, and other Euro-sized shoes, and I do happen to own one other pair of Birks, the Granadas. So I ordered these in a 39, thinking they were long and that would be better than a 40. Well that was a mistake. I'm Zappos VIP so I got free overnight shipping. I had to send them back, this was just yesterday, and when I did they were sold out in every size but 41. So I went to another website, and while I paid the same price for the shoe, I had to pay $20 to have them shipped, only to return here to write a review and see that all sizes are now magically back in stock. This is the first time I have been truly disappointed in Zappos. Why would you say they were out of stock and less than 12 hours later they are back? Surely you would have to know you had more on the way in that amount of time...anyway, even a bit too small, I could tell these were great sandals. I'm looking forward to getting the correct size, I just wish I could have got them from Zappos and saved myself the money on shipping.

Love, love, love these sandals!! I have lusted over them for two years and finally got them for a birthday gift. I have thicker ankles and they still looked good without looking like I had cankles(Which was a fear ??) super cute!

These are amazing! I have these that are just flip flops and I thought these might be too similar but they are perfect. You will not regret getting them. The color in the picture is a little darker brown than what i actually got but I'm fine with it, I love them!

The fit is just like my other Birkenstock sandals such as Mayari. I normally wear a 9 or 40 in sandals, and I always order a 39 in Birks. There is just enough extra length for my toes to spread while walking. I have pretty small ankles and I have to use 2nd to last hole for buckle so just a heads up there.

Beautiful shoes, super comfortable...and I have to return them because I apparently (and previously unknown to me) have ENORMOUS ANKLES. If I buckled the ankle strap on the last hole, it was still too tight to walk. I mean, I love Birks, but you'd think they'd know that if I'm wearing a size 40, I probably don't have teeny tiny ankles... So, back they go. I think a 41 would be too long so my dreams of a pretty and feminine Birki with an ankle strap will remain unfulfilled.

These shoes are so cute. When they first came I almost sent them back they were so uncomfortable. After reading others' experiences I decided to try to break them in. I read it can take three weeks. I am still in the process but they are so much better after just a week of wear. I followed others' advice and ordered a whole size down. I think maybe a half size down would be better but that wasn't an option.

I'm new to Birkenstock. Oddly, I never got on the trend in college and I really missed out. These shoes are amazingly comfortable and cute looking sandals. These are narrower than the traditional Birkenstock, but for my narrow size 12 feet they are true to size and perfect.

Love my sandals. They are a smidge long, but a little too short when I tried on the size smaller. Love these and can teach in them the entire day!

My daughter loves her Yara Sandals for the style, fit, and comfort. Not returning them!

I love these sandals! They are very comfortable. I was worried they would slip and slide because of the ankle strap but they feel very secure on my feet. Lots of support. I tried on other Birkenstock sandals in the store so I would know what size to order. I usually wear an 8.5 to 9...I ordered a 39 in this sandal and it fits perfectly. My first pair of Birkenstocks so I can't wait to see how they hold up.

These were cute and fit well (one size down from my normal shoe size), but the toe strap hurt. Maybe it would've gotten better in time, but I also ordered the daloa Birkenstocks too and those were immediately comfortable right out of the box, so I kept those. I also loved the thinner straps on the daloa. I would love to see the Yara done in a narrow width with thinner straps! I would buy them in a heartbeat!

So comfy right out of the box! I was hesitant to order because I have wide feet but they fight like a gem. Normally wear 9.5-10W and the 40 fits perfect.

I love these shoes so much! They are comfortable and so cute

I love these sandals. Super stylish. They do run big so I recommend getting 1 size smaller then what you normally wear. I get lots of compliments on these. They are well made.

Sexy Birks? Who'da thunk it? But these Birkenstock sandals, with their encircling ankle straps are kinda sorta sexy! That part aside, I do find them just as comfortable, reliable, and sturdy as my Birks in the more traditional, clunky styles. Wearing the Yara, I feel less like a hippie, and more like a bohemian. I guess it's semantics, but the bottom line is that these sandals have a je ne sais quoi that most Birkenstocks just don't possess. Feeling good right out of the box. Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved these sandals! I was so excited to get them in, but then I tried them on...the ankle strap I was so excited about wasn't long enough to fit around my ankle. Unfortunately I had to return the shoes I was so excited about!

I like this shoe. A little less arch support than their other sandals but I like that because sometimes the extreme arch support hurts my feet.

I liked the look of thiese sandals but the strap just felt weird on my ankle and when I took steps it would flop. Ended up returning.

Really cute and very comfortable, as always Zappos made getting a different size so easy, had new size the next day...

These were on my daughter's birthday wish list. She researched the reviews and found that they run large so she asked for a size smaller. The sandals arrived quickly from Zappos. my daughter loves the fit and the look. I think they are very cute! Ad of course, Zappos has items when other places don't and the no cost shipping is such a plus. Another positive shopping experience.

So far these are not the most comfortable, but hopefully I will break them in more. Also, they make my large, wide feet look quite large!
