Customer Reviews Birkenstock Mayari - Birko-Flor™ & Birkibuc™

I don't typically write shoe reviews, but these are GREAT. I returned to Birks after 15 years away. These fit beautifully, and the toe-wrap area actually super comfortable and not at all annoying. Win! Though it is ill-advised, I wore them an entire day on my first day of wear. At my son's 6th birthday party, no less. Much running around. My feet were tired at the end of the day, but were surprisingly unsore. I prefer the leather to the birky buck, etc. I'll wear these until the die, fix them, wear them some more, and then eventually buy another pair. They are my new favorites.

We bought these for our daughter, and she absolutely loves them. Bit of a splurge, but the oiled leather is so comfy, and they wear well. Beautiful, natural dark brown color. Worth every penny. She's a 7.5, so we went down to size 7. Perfect fit.

This is second pair and best sandals for long days of touring. They take a little while to form to your foot bed but one they do they fit like custom shoes. Thought I'd dress it up with the silver this time, not super shiny which is what I like. The style around the toe is comfortable unlike what you may think. They last for years with lots of use. I got the narrow width and slight smaller, my foot is thin.

This is the 2nd pair of Birkenstock sandals I've bought this spring after probably 10 years of not even wearing the Birki's I have. Maybe is the silver, or the combination of color and style, I don't know. I do know I also bought a pair of white Arizona's earlier this season from Zappos and there's nothing new about the Arizona. As always, they are super comfy right from the get go ad very well made.

This is my 2nd pair in 10 years in the same color, also have a black pair. I love how my feet feel in them, my 10 year old pair have retired to just wearing around the house.

I purchased these shoe because I hoped they would be a supportive sandal. Turns out the arch is too high and my feet hurt after wearing them more than an hour. Not comfortable for my feet unfortunately.

This shoe fits perfectly. I normally wear a 8.5 Narrow. I ordered the 39 and it fits. Love the sandals but it has 3 small tears near the toe strap. Sending them back and hopefully my size and color is still available. Love this shoe.

Order a size smaller than your typical size! I am an 8, so I ordered the suggested 8-8.5 size (39 I believe). They turned out to be too big and I had to return them and get a 38 instead. Overall love the shoe now that it fits correctly!

I have been wearing Birkis for decades so I know that they will always fit and feel great. This style is one of the prettiest by far. It does feel a tiny bit less comfortable than the Arizona because the foot does not spread out in the same way, but it probably just needs breaking in.

Saw these in a clothing catalog and just had to have them. I initially went to a local store but they didn't have the silver color and the brown was priced higher. I was glad I did though because I would have ordered the wrong size. I normally wear an 8-8.5 and the charts indicate that a 39 should be the one to order, but the 38 fits perfect. I love how these have molded to my feet after only a week of wearing and I love the color.

As other reviewers said, it kind of hurts at first but after you break them in it's very comfortable, especially for the ankle area.

This is the most comfortable style of sandal. I have other colors, but this replaces a pair that broke after years of use. With leather, you don't get the cracking on your feet that plastic sandals cause.

Working off the advice of several friends who've worn Birkenstocks for years, I decided to buy these sandals before a trip to Walt Disney World in March 2016. I was uncertain about what to expect because I have a back injury which, day-to-day, allows me to walk a mile at most, without being in pain. I didn't think any shoe would allow me to do more so I went to Disney World fully expecting to have to limit my activities. To my astonishment, however, these sandals had me walking at least 8 or 9 miles a day, without any pain! I know the Florida climate helped my mobility but I've been there before and not had the same results. I've never been so comfortable in shoes. They have such good support, I felt like I could keep walking all day! I've bought more Birkenstocks - ones to wear in the house and some more for outdoors. They really have changed my life. I completely understand the fuss now. I will suggest, as a few people have, that buying a size down is a good idea. It took me a while to figure out that what I bought initially (size 6-6.5) was a loose fit, because it was still comfortable! I exchanged them for a size 5-5.5 and they do stay on a bit more securely. Zappos was as always fantastic about the exchange - I had worn the sandals outside for several days before I realized the size problem and they still let me send them back!

I usually steer clear from a thong style sandal because I usually get a blister on my big toe. Not the case with these! They are so comfortable I will probably end up getting another pair. Delightful soft leather straps and another amazing pair of Birks, I don't know why I was worried.

I purchased these for my daughter. She loves everything from the comfort to the color! I'm going to buy a pair for myself!

I love these sandals. So comfortable, and I get tons of compliments. Who would have thought Birkenstocks could be so pretty.

These had been on my list for a while, so when Zappos sent me a coupon I got them right away. Unfortunately they are too big (I usually wear a 7.5, but I should have gotten a 37 I think). When trying to exchange the shoes I am not allowed to re-use my coupon, which is very disappointing and not what I usually expect from Zappos. There is a reason it is called an exchange and not a return! So in short, I'll have to wait a while longer to own some Birkenstocks. Other than the poor service, the shoes look and seem very comfortable. I didn't realize the Toffee would be bronze/metallic, but it doesn't look horrible. Update: My coupon problem has been solved and Zappos customer service is awesome!"

Love love these. I chose the stone color because I already have a lot of brown sandals. the stone is a great neutral color, kind of grayish-brown. I wear 8.5-9, so I chose size 39. They fit great. My daughter wears 8-8.5 but chose size 38.

Love these shoes! I had another pair that I purchased two or three years ago. They finally fell apart so I had to have new ones!

Wonderful fit and comfort right away. My heel pain has dimished also!! I ordered my true size since these run on the wide size. (Some sandals I have to order up to deal with my "Flintstone" feet.) The color is pearly but not patent leather shiny.

I LOVE these shoes! I was so impressed with a pair I got last year and wanted to mix it up. This pair took virtually NO break in time. I immediately felt grounded, supported and like I could go all day.

Unfortunately I fell in love with Birkenstocks this year. Unfortunate because of their price tag. I do have "bad" feet though, so I am used to spending more for shoes. I am a hairstylist and my feet require extremely good support. I cannot wear flat shoes. I love these because they are so comfortable, and in my opinion way more stylish than the traditional Birks. The brown are for home, I have black for work. Love them! I usually wear a 40 in European sizes but in Birks I'm a 39.

Very comfortable, even with a very large bunion. Also good-looking enough to wear with most dresses. However, with the Birk-o-flor instead of leather straps, this sandal was billed as Vegan on the internet. It isn't. The footbed is leather.
