Customer Reviews Birkenstock Yara

Wearing Birks for decades...gizeh, arizona, real leather. Love these Yara's, Solid feel on, wonderful leather....awesome look!

My favorite pair of Birkenstock’s, they match with everything and are incredibly comfortable. A true summer staple, just be sure to size down!

My daughter had to test and return one size already looking for the right fit. She’s always an 8 and an 8 looked like a clown shoe on her! Trying a 7 1/2 as soon as we get it in the mail and hoping we don’t have to go a whole size down...

Being a first time Birkenstock buyer, these sandals hit the mark right on! They took a couple of days to break in, but now they are perfect for my feet. I have a wider foot, and they fit perfectly. I will most likely be buying another pair of Birkenstocks!

Love them!

These sandals are SO cute, they can easily be dressed up or down. True to Birk style, there is a "wearing in" period until they form to your feet. I ordered these in black and my only complaint (and I havent had this issue with other Birks) is that my ankles & feet are dyed black everytime I wear these. I wore them all summer hoping this would start to lessen but no luck. I have to scrub my feet and ankles every time I take them off. I finally emailed birkenstock to ask what the deal was and they suggested misting them lightly with vinegar and water :/ Havent tried it yet as theyre packed away for the season but will give it a go and hope for the best before wearing them next summer!

This is a beautiful sandal. Birkenstock sandals make my arches hurt until a “break in” period is over. Sometimes when my tendons are hurting, I am absolutely unable to wear them. If I didn’t have any issues with my arch tendons, I would love these sandals with all my heart.

Super cute! The straps felt really rough at first, but they softened up after a couple of wears

I bought these in the Habana Oiled Leather color before going to college and I absolutely love them. I wear them literally every single day and they are super comfortable, especially for walking to my classes. I've had them for a little over 3 months now, I wear them almost every day and they're still in really good condition! I did order them in a size up than I usually wear.

Loved just too big.

I love the Yara! I recently purchased my first pair of Birkenstocks (Florida Soft Footbed) and I wasn't sure about them. Then, I tried the Yara and they are amazing! They are so comfortable, right out of the box, and I had not hesitation on whether or not I wanted to keep them. Turns out I am NOT a big fan of the soft footbed, so the fact that the Yaras have the original footbed makes a huge difference for me. The ankle strap seems a little strange at first, but I buckled mine as loose as they'll go and that helped a lot. Plus, the leather starts to soften up pretty quickly. Also, I'm a size 8 in regular shoes, have a wide(ish) foot, and a high arch, and the 38s fit my foot perfectly. And, this style is super cute to wear with pretty much anything!

4th pair of Birkenstocks and never disappointed. These are all I wear and I think they are the most comfiest shoes out there.

These shoes are amazing! I get tons of compliments on them!

I love these shoes ! I lived in Germany for a long time so Birkenstock is a go to comfort shoe for me. I wear a size 8-US which doesn't really work with the size chart because every pair of Birkenstocks I own is a 38. I have this particular sandal in Black, Dark Brown and Tobacco. Reading the reviews before I ordered seemed to lean towards needing a larger size which I did originally order but I should have kept with what I know and ordered the 38...Returned...Replaced...Happy Customer times 3 :-) Thank you Zappos for great customer service !

I was never a fan of Birkenstock. But these I thought were really feminine and super stylish. Friends would tell me how comfortable Birks were, so I decided to give them a try. At first I thought, they (my friends) were absolutely crazy! They were not comfortable at all and I couldn’t return them because I had worn them outside. Nonetheless, I continued to wear them, and about a week later I was so happy I did! THE MOST COMFORTABLE SANDALS I’VE EVER OWNED! I Just had to break them in.

I was nervous about sizing because I have wide feet and the reviews said to size down. I decided to stick to my normal size. I am a 9.5/ 10 and ordered a 40. I’m a teacher and on my feet all day. We are also required to have a back strap on our shoes. These fit the bill! I did find the ankle strap to be short but it seems like they will stretch. So happy with these sandals!

My new all time favorite!! Yay Birkenstock!

My favorite Birks yet!! ?? They’re stylish and were the most comfortable ones I have owned right out the box. Loving the ankle strap. Very in style and a nice option to have for all day walking. Of course it takes that extra second but on the plus side you could wear them on a roller coaster ????? Worth Every Penny! GET THEM!

I love Birkenstocks. I am a size 8 and ordered a 38. They fit great. The leather is stiff but will soften with wear.

These are my first pair of Birkenstock sandals and..I'm hooked. I had moderately flat feet made even flatter by a recent pregnancy and none of my shoes fit like they used to. I heard Birkenstocks offered good arch support but that they'd take a while + a lot of pain to break in and while I find the former true, definitely not the latter. I wore them around the house for a few hours before I wore them out and that was enough. I took the advice given by a lot of people here to order several sizes down and that did NOT work for me. I'm typically between a U.S. 7.5-8 and originally ordered these in a 37 and they were too short. I re-ordered in a 38 and they're perfect! My heel fits well in the heel cup and my toes do not touch the front ridge, with the toe bar landing right where it should. I have small ankles and had to add a couple extra holes to the straps, but now they fit perfectly! I also think they're kind of cute with dresses. LOVE these so much I went and bought a pair to wear in the house (Amsterdams) and I'm eyeing the Gizehs. Uh oh, I think I may have developed a problem :S

Amazing shoe. I'm a 6.5 in shoes but wear a 36 in this.

I have tiny feet. I wear a 6 in most shoes. I ordered a 36 regular width and it was too big. I need a 35, which are really hard to find. Or a 36 narrow. The narrow widths run a little smaller. I’ve tried them on in stores and I definitely need a narrow in the 36 or a 35. Loved this style and the color! I will keep looking and hope I find my size.

Love, love, love. Have started having foot problems. Not with this shoe! Ordered another so I could have one for yardwork and one for good.

My favorite. I have them in brown and black!!

I love this sandal. I will ordering a different color very soon.
