Zappos once again you rock! Ordered these Saturday afternoon...when I got home from work today (Monday) they were waiting at my door. Can you really go wrong with any Birkenstock? They are so comfortable, I've been wearing them for 3 hours and they are molded to my footbed. So very very comfortable!

I adore these sandals. I had previously bought Birkenstock's Gizeh thong sandals and I love the Mayari even more -- the straps even out the pressure points on your foot better, so they're even more comfortable. Just like all Birkenstocks, they mold to your feet with time. These are my staple for the spring and summer months!

Birkenstocks are the best things for your feet! I'm on my feet all day and I just love them! I have 5 pair of sandals and wear them for working in and out of the house and walking the dog. Most comfortable footwear I've ever owned!

I love these! I got them in the black birko-flor. My usual size is a 9, but I ordered an 8½ because I did not want them sliding around too much. The fit is perfect! It took a few days to break them in, but they soon became the most comfortable shoes I own. I have received a ton of compliments form the hipster crowd at school, and they are perfect for walking around campus.

This is my second pair of Birkenstocks in this style. I bought the last pair 2 or 3 years ago and they give excellent support to my feet. The only reason I bought a new pair is that I like to garden and I've gotten the original pair too dirty to wear in public, but they are still perfectly comfortable and intact. It's especially important to me to have good arch support and this sandal fits the bill. The leather becomes softer with wear. It looks nice with jeans and shorts. I wore these sandals to Mount Rushmore, which requires a lot of walking, and my feet felt great when we left. This sandal has very good construction that won't fall apart. I've gotten lots of compliments on them, too. One thing to note: the footbed can darken over time, so you can either buy the Birkenstock footbed cleaner, or look online for suggestions on how to clean it with items you'll likely have at home.

Wow, what a great shoe! I just received these and I am glad I listened to the reviews. I am a size 7 and ordered a half size down, 37, and they fit perfectly! Super soft. The Toffee color I ordered looked more brown online but in person they are a shimmery bronze. I debated exchanging for the brown listed but will keep them and order another pair in mocha since they are so comfy. You cannot go wrong! I love Zappos next day shipping!

These are comfortable and ready to wear right out of the box. The Birko Flor material has a soft lining that lets you skip the break-in period you need with traditional suede uppers from Birkenstock.

Love these sandals. Very comfortable. It did a short wear to get them molded to my feet, just wore them around the house one evening.

I got the order shipped on time and my order was correct. I had been told that the shoes would be uncomfortable for awhile, so the discomfort was expected. I had to wear them consistently for about a week before they really "broke in" and I stopped getting blisters or bruises (yes, bruises!) when I wore them. Now they're my most comfortable shoes! I highly recommend them. Be aware that the sizing is a bit weird. Mine seemed slightly too large, but it hasn't affected much.

Love the comfort and ease of this sandal. You would definitely want to order a size smaller than you normally wear as these do indeed run large.

Love them. Not as bad looking as I thought they would be. No break in period. One sandal had a tiny piece of excess glue right in the front where the footbed was glued to the cork but I filed it down with a nail file. I just did not expect that from a Birkenstock as they have a great reputation for quality. Have owned for approximately a month and I have no regrets. For those of you that think they are bulky I ordered the narrow based on other reviews. Good call. I don't wear narrow in any other shoe or sandal. Unfortunately there are less color options in narrow.

I have always kind of laughed at Birkies, but now have sensitive, narrow feet and decided to give them a try. They were actually not ugly. I wear an 8.5N and ordered the 8. They are a wee bit too small, so I'm returning and trying the 9.

Feels surprisingly comfortable. While I generally don't like shoes that have straps between my toes, these do not bother me at all. I wear all day and am comfortable in them.

These are amazing! I worried about looking too much like my mom's earth shoe, but these are super cute and more importantly they are so comfortable. I walked 3 miles in them the first day. I highly recommend.

I'm really pleased with this purchase, they fit great and are quite comfortable. Color is true to online photo. Shipping was faster than estimated online, which is a plus.

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I wasn't really sure about sizing. I wear a 7.5 in sandals and my cowboy boots, but in my sneakers i wear a 8. After reading the reviews on the Mayari, I was even more confused on what size to order. Some said to size down, others said true to size. So I ordered both the 37 and 38. The 38 fit my left foot and the 37 fit better on my right foot. So I decided to go with the 38. So far I really like them and want to get the Gizeh style in black.

Love these sandals! I did a lot of research on sizing because there's not a retailer near me that carries Birks! I typically wear between a size 7.5-8 and decided on getting a 38 in the Mayari and they fit perfectly! Of course they arrived quickly too, thanks to Zappos!

So happy with this shoe. This is my third pair Birkenstock's. So I knew that I was going to like them, but these are my favorite pair. Fit is super comfortable and the size was perfect since I'm a size 9.5.

I bought these shoes for my daughter for her birthday. Her prior pair of Birkies were worn out after 3 years of constant wear. They came very quickly and she said they broke in very fast and again, she wears them all the time!

I'm a teacher and I stand on my feet all throughout the school day. I have a high arch and foot problems run in my family. I was looking for a cute and comfortable sandal to wear to school. The second I put these on, the felt like heaven! So comfortable and yet stylish. My feet love them! I know wearing these will be a gift for my sore feet on those long days at school.

I was prepared for a long break-in period and was surprised to find I could wear these all day long straight out of the box. I was also nervous about the toe design, afraid that it would cause blisters on the top of my big toe. Again, pleasantly surprised. They are very pretty and dainty looking, and I am so pleased that the narrow sizes are available. I have two very old pairs of Birks, from before they made this nice, narrow foot bed, that technically fit but seem like I'm wearing snowshoes, because I have quite a narrow foot. These are not like that at all. And...they don't bother the bunion on my right foot! Birks have really come into their own with these. I was disappointed that the dark brown color was more, for some reason, but I like the golden brown.

Super comfortable - I have flat arches, and it took a little getting used to in the beginning. It feels very stiff, but the Birkenstock website gives you instructions about breaking them in and getting the right fit. I'm a true 6.5 and slightly wide feet, and got the 37 regular and they fit great. I would suggest getting a narrow fit if you have narrower feet. Get lots of compliments on these, too because they aren't as bulky as the Arizonas.

I purchased the "stone" color, truly an amazing color. The shoe is comfy, stylish and true to size. I wear it all day with no problems what so ever!

This is my favorite Birkenstock! I have several styles, but I like the way the Mayari holds my foot into the bed of the shoe. I also have arthritis in my feet and these are awesome. I never get out of bed without them on!
