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

I do a lot of walking to get to work and these were comfortable pretty much from the moment I put them on. The silver is fun and the support can't be beat! As for sizing, I think they run pretty true to size. I normally wear a 9 and the 40 were the best fit for me. A tad roomy, but the 39 were definitely too short (okay when I wasn't walking, but my toes crept out over the front edge when I was). Take some time to walk around in them and make sure the size works for you - better a little big than too small. Great summer walking shoe!

Why did I spend all of my high school years thinking that the Arizona and the Boston were the end-all-be-all Birkenstock styles? Now looking back, no wonder I haven't purchased any since then! Goodbye clunky Birks, HELLO MAYARI! I honestly love these - so comfortable and NOT clunky looking on a slim foot. This and the Gizeh will be my go-to Birkenstock styles from now on!

Super comfortable right out of the box. the black oiled leather rubbed off on my feet on the first day, but not after that. I wore these for 3 weeks in France with no discomfort. Your can't beat Birkenstock quality and of course Zappos rocks it with overnight shipping and customer satisfaction.

Honestly, the most comfortable pair of sandals I've ever purchased! I was a little worried about the sizing, but I wear a 8.5 and ordered a 39 and they were perfect! I wear them walking about the city with a cute sundress (the shiny brown finish is just dressy enough to make it work) and hiking across trails in shorts and a t-shirt. Perfect for the hippie or practical fashionite. They molded perfectly to fit my feet, and gave great arch support - which is always an issue with me. Seriously, once I put these on, I didn't want to take them off! I would say I'm investing in another pair...but they're such great quality I don't think I'll need to anytime soon!

Fantastic shoes! Was worried Birkies wouldn't be flattering but I've had tons of compliments - even from my mother! Bought them to try to help my plantar fasciitis and they have really helped. I'm even running again. Never had any blisters or any trouble breaking them in. Love these!

First pair of Birkenstocks and love them! Great comfortable casual sandal, and my feet are so happy. Plus Birks are starting to be cool/trendy again! Bought the Licorice (shiny, but not as shiny as patent) and the Birko-Flor feels and looks like leather. Definitely need to break these in and get used to the support and structure. Recommend flexing the toe several times first and wearing them for short periods, not long walks, until you get used to them and they adjust to your feet (which I read could take a few wearings). They do run large--I'm an 8.5/39 and got these in 38 which works okay for me since I have short toes. Birks recommends having space all around your foot which is why they run big.

Love these sandals. I have a medium to wide foot and the normal width fit perfectly. Very comfortable. The color Toffee Birko-Flor is a lovely shade of brown with subtle coppery overtones. Nice. The best part is that after walking all day my feet don't hurt!

I am between 36 and 37 standard sizes in Birks and found the 37 Narrow to work -- even for my wide foot! The straps on the oiled leather are soft and supple, and have not rubbed at all. The thin straps are configured to hold your foot solidly onto the sole, and are much more attractive then the Arizona's. Unlike another reviewer, I don't think they make the cork sole appear more prominent. I find them to be the daintiest Birk I've seen. I did have discomfort from the height of the bar under the big toe, but a few whacks from a hammer solved it quickly.

These shoes, like all of my Birkenstocks, are comfortable and reliable. They help support my feet as I travel many places. I always throw on my Birkenstocks! The color of this particular blue is beautiful too! It goes with everything.

I love these shoes. I've had several pairs of Birkenstocks over the years but these are the most comfortable and don't hit the top of the big toe and mess up a good pedicure.

I have had several pairs of Birkenstocks, but these are the best! They are beyond comfortable. With my last pair, the flap covered part of my big toe and could mess up a fresh pedicure. Not these! I have bought them as gifts and recommended them to friends.

These are my favorite sandals! My previous Birkenstocks lasted 10 years. I wore them until the tread pattern on the bottom was nothing but smooth. I have high arches with a saddle bone on the top of my foot and finding shoes where the straps do not hit the bump on the top of my foot is not an easy task. These shoes fit me perfectly. My only downside to the shoes is the cork sole seems to cause my heel to become dry.

For casual sandals, I would have to say these are the best! I love them so much. I wear a 5½N and finding shoes that fit is always a daunting task. It seems most stores only carry down to a 6 and in sandals, they are just too big. I can usually get away with a 6 for boots and tennis shoes by wearing thicker socks. These sandals are so comfortable and small! They are just the right size for my tiny little feet. I wish Birkenstocks had shoes that were a bit dressier, but I will take what I can get. I bought these for vacation and ended up wearing them all the time! I love them and will expand the colors in my collection as I can.

Love these shoes! Very comfortable. Like the them for casual wear. The strap in the middle does not hurt -- usually I get a blister there -- not with these! I have small feet so I was very pleased when I found them in a EU 36.(5.5).

Cute. Lots of compliments from non-Birkenstock people too. I like the security of a toe loop and higher strap and multi adjustabilities. Do wish there were half sizes. I could have used a quarter size up but the next size was too big.

Love my purchase! I haven't worn Birkenstock since I was a teenager and back then I didn't have the foot problems that I have now. Having plantar fascitis and a a large arch, it is impossible to find a shoe that I can wear all day comfortably and virtually have no pain! These sandals mold perfectly to my feet and I was able to wear all day on first day! I can even stand all day at my job without pain. They are great, I will definitely purchase more in other styles. It's wonderful to finally have a cute sandal that I can wear this summer with my dresses and shorts.

Color is so pretty! Not your regular brown. Very comfy and you may want to size down. I usually wear a size 6 but I'm glad I went with the size 5. Perfect fit! My Birkys ROCK!

I'm so hooked on these sandals. Granted, the wear-in time took a couple weeks of wearing off & on, but they feel so great now. I ordered the stone suede color. The picture is true to the actual color. They look good with most everything that I wear regularly in the summer: shorts, dresses, skinny jeans. I'm a huge fan so far! I also love that they can be taken to a cobbler and refurbished in the future.

I love, love, love these. Comfortable of course but the silvery color makes them dressier. They are my go to shoes as they can go from morning to evening.

I'm in love with these shoes. I purchased them after I found typical flat flip flops were causing pain in my feet. They are perfectly brown colored - cheaper than the leather and just as comfy.

I love these sandals. These were exactly what I wanted after my 10+ year old Birkenstocks wore out. Easy to slip in to, comfy, cute.

Love these shoes! I wear a lot of this color and finding shoes to match is tough. The toe strap doesn't even touch in between my toes, so it's really comfortable. The arch support is fantastic for my (very!) flat feet.

If you have never worn this type of shoe, give it a chance. Initially, I found them hard but after wearing them for a couple of hours, I find they are the most comfortable and supportive shoe. I have absolutely no arch and extreme pronation that makes my ankles and knees hurt. This shoes puts everything back in line; therefore, assisting in relieving knee pain. I believe they are worth the price and know they will last a few seasons.
