Customer Reviews Birkenstock Yara

Ordered a 38 and they fit my size 8 foot. Not as comfortable as my other Birkenstocks. The loop around the big toe is tight and really pinches. I'm hoping if I wear them enough they'll soften up and stretch out, but so far they are not comfortable.

Love these shoes. Super comfy right out of the box considering the weight of the leather. They go with everything. I usually wear a 7.5 in regular shoes, order these in a size 36 and they fit perfectly.

Was a little iffy about these at first...after encouragement from my family I started to wear them and can't take them off! Love these shoes and they looked a little more polished than the classic Birks which is nice when I don't want to put it effort but also don't want to look lazy.

I love these in the light brown shade (Tabacco Leather, as it says on the Birkenstock box) but I don't think I can keep them. I usually wear a size 10/41 in every shoe. With these the 41 footbed fit me better than the 40, but the size 40 straps fit better than the 41 straps. I'd keep them if I could have the 41 footbed with 40 straps. The 40 fit me a little short, meaning it "fits" perfectly standing still, but with no extra room to spread my toes when walking—the toe bar hits at a painful spot and my toes hit the lip of the sandal. In the 40 I can wear the toe strap on the second hole and ankle in the middle hole, and they look and fit well. In the 41 the straps are wider and longer than the 40, which looks masculine and doesn't keep my foot in place well—I have to wear them on the last holes and they still flop around too much at the ankle and heel. Perhaps Birkenstock figured only men would wear the 41s and up.

As much as I wanted to keep these stylish Birkenstocks, the ankle strap was way to big and I couldn't justify taking it to a shoe shop to fix it and spend more money so I returned it.

This is my first experience with Birkenstocks. Everyone says they are so comfortable so I had to try them. They are AWESOME. The only issue is they run big. I'm a true size 7, but I am a 5 in Birkenstocks.

So I own a pair of Birkenstock Arizonas in a size 38 and have been wearing them for around a decade. I guess Birkenstock's version of what a 38 looks like has changed over the years, because my 38s in the Yara were HUGE. Like, two inches past the end of my heel. Exchanging for a 37. These are adorable, on-trend and perfect for dressing up or down, so I don't mind the switcheroo!

Love these sandals, but I have narrow feet and these don't come in narrow; too wide. Also, the strap around the ankle was way too big. Maybe for another girl, but not this one. Darn! Also the leather around the toe is thick and not soft. Beautiful looking, though.

Love my new Yaras! Takes a day or two to break in like my other Birkenstocks. After that, they are great. I am a size 9, and ordered a 39 and they fit perfectly. Zappos was timely and wonderful as usual!

Love! I chose a full size smaller (normally an 8, chose a 7) and they fit perfectly. Super comfortable and the leather really complements my skin (I'm pretty pale). I love this style of sandal and these are very cute! Can't wait to wear these daily!

I love these sandals! The sole is thick and sturdy and the leather is super soft. This is a practical shoe as you can easily dress it up or down. You'll definitely need to work your way into them though - no wearing them all day the day you get them. Size down as they run big and are made for a wider foot. I had to return mine for a smaller size but was able to do so with no issues. Expect lots of compliments when wearing these sandals!

Love these shoes. I wear a 7 mostly in sandals and sometimes a 6.5 in other open toed shoes. But I ordered a 6 because I know these run big. I was happy with the fit. I know Birkies get more comfy the more you wear them so I am satisfied. I'm in love with these shoes, now I must get them in black.

I love Birkenstock sandals and clogs. However, this particular style made me feel like I had blocks of wood for feet. They were not nearly as comfortable as they were cute. For that reason, I had to return them. I am sad because I can't find them in a narrow width and Birkenstock said they have been discontinued.

First time I ordered Birkenstocks, I always thought they looked like "old people sandals!" My foot Dr suggested I try them. Actually cute but this style runs really wide, so had to return them.

Wanted to love these, but had to return them. The toe bar on the right foot bothered me too much. My feet are not the exact same size, so that most likely was the problem. Very cute style though.

Bought these for my teenage daughter. Needed good walking shoes with a good arch. She was happy with the styling of these compared to most she looked at. She wore for two weeks walking through Italy. Her feet and back felt fine. Birkenstock's don't have the most padding, but they were way better than wearing flats.

I really liked these, but the back of my foot felt wobbly. Plus I decided I wanted slip-ons and didn't want to buckle up every time.

The footbed was immediately comfortable out of the box. But expect some break in time with the straps. They rub at first, but get better with wear.

I adore these sandals. The only problem I had with them was within a month or so of wearing them, the cork sole began to tear. But I would still recommend these to everyone that I know. They are so comfortable, especially for a college student who walks around to all of her classes. I even went hiking in these!

LOVE this sandal and had my eye on it and have been thrilled with it so far. Perfect blend of a stylish sandal with comfort/durability of a Chaco. ;)

I had to return these shoes because the straps that went around the ankle were insanely too long. The holes to do the buckle ended about 1.5" from where I would actually need to fasten the strap. I do have enormous feet, so maybe the designers expected long feet=thick leg? If you have size 10 feet and thin/normal legs, you may have the same problem. Too bad because the style was really cute!

Love the look of these. They are super cute and I am on my feet all day so I needed something that would look cute but still be comfy. I have worn them for about a week now and they are rubbing a bit by my small toe but I think that once I break them in they will be great. Look great with jeans, skirts and dresses. I usually wear a 5.5 or 6 and I ordered a 5/5.5 and although they seem a little big they do fit and are pretty comfortable. Of course Zappos rocked and even tho my small town doesn't normally offer next day service, there were here within less than 24 hrs of ordering.

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks. They are really cute sandals but the leather is very hard and actually hurts my feet across the front strap. It will take a lot of breaking in to soften the leather. The footbed is comfortable however. Once this is broken in, I'm absolutely sure that these sandals will be great and will probably last a very long time. I normally wear a size 6.5 and I ordered a 6.5 but it is just a bit big on me. If I push my toe towards the front so that it fits perfectly through the toe hold portion, there is a lot of room at the heel. I didn't exchange it for a smaller size however, because I was afraid that a smaller size would be too small. When the leather softens a bit more, I think I can adjust the straps tighter for a better fit. I have to say that these sandals are really cute though and have a very cool bohemian look and will be very awesome with boho skirts this Spring/Summer, as well as shorts. It was a good buy. I'm going to give this a 5 star for overall, comfort and style as I think that the longer I wear these sandals the better they will be.

I wear a 7-7.5 and I found this size too big. I was surprised because all reviews say true to size. I'm returning for a size down.
