Super cute sandal. Wish it came in the soft foot bed. It was too hard for me.

Tried and true. Sole wears down very quickly. Comfortable. Make them vegan please!

Really nice sandals. These are my first pair of Birkenstocks and I confess I had an outdated image of what they would look like. These are really cute -- not frumpy as so many "comfortable and supportive" shoes can be. I can wear these with dress pants, skirts, or dresses for a nice business casual style, but they will also work with shorts/casual. Very happy. I have bunions ugh and these are very comfortable and don't irritate my feet.

For some reason the big toe strap on the right foot is funky and I can’t fix it. I’m giving up and getting a different pair.

These sandals are pretty and looked like what I wanted but didn't feel comfortable around the big toe area.

I love birkenstock, and have a number of their shoes. I have had tons of compliments on this pair. The footbed is perfect. For some reason though, the nubuck fabric of the upper has never broken in on the toe post. It has stayed pretty stiff, so it gets uncomfortable if I wear it for extended walking. I have another pair of Mayari in leather, and they have broken in and are much more comfortable between my toes. I still love owning this pair. It is nice to have something I can wear that seems a little more dressed up.

I have this same style Birk and same size from a few years ago and they are great. However, on one of these sandals I received, the strap around the toe was very tight and on the other sandal it was too long. Also the strap around the top of the foot was much longer and I would need more holes punched in order to tighten the buckle.

Fit well but the narrow could still be a bit more narrow..I don’t love how the footbed is rather hard and scratchy but that’s Birkenstocks for you.

These were great and even a little more stylish for a Birkenstock sandal, but the toe post was really uncomfortable, even though I do wear flip flops fairly often and don’t have a problem with them. The ones I bought were the Birki-flor material, so maybe the real leather ones will be better.

I wanted sandals to replace flip-flops and heard how comfortable Birkenstocks are. I didn’t want the original “hippie two-strap” style, though. I decided to give these a try. I have wide feet so the adjustable straps are great. It’s still too cold to wear them for any length of time here, but for the short amounts of time that I’ve worn them around the house, they’ve been comfortable. I’m thinking that the leather will stretch out and soften up a bit as I wear them once the weather warms up.

It seem to be an overall great product. I only struggled with having the proper arch support and the fact that my foot is a little narrow. I felt like it bounced around a little more than I would like. I don’t think this brand is for me.

I bought the betula Mia very similar to these. I have a 7.5 med to narrow foot. The pair of betulas are 7.5 narrow and fit amazing, these fit a little too narrow and my foot looks swollen in them due to padding. I have skinny feet. The toe loop was very constricting that my toe was turning red. I returned these. If you have a narrow foot, try the regular width first or size up. I ended up buying the betulas again instead.

Finally decided to spring for a set of Birkenstocks to see what all the fuss is about. First of all, the arch support was terrific but the bottom was rock hard. I know these cork soles are supposed to eventually adjust to the contour of your feet, but Good Lord how long would that take?! In the meantime, I could see having aching feet. Got the 37 European size, which is what I would usually order from Ecco or other Euro brands (my feet are 6 1/2 US size), but the shoe was at least half a size too long. Would risk exchanging for a 36 but the main reason I am returning is that the hard lip that goes around the edge of the shoe where the toes lie was already banging up against my middle and ring toes and I don't have a particularly wide foot. Can't image that a small size would change that and might make it worse. Not a good choice for me personally.

Slightly too long for size. Great for wide foot. Bought these to wear while cooking in my tile floored kitchen. Have been wearing for about a week. Too early to tell about durability. Easy to slip in & out of, super comfortable, not bad looking, & no more tired, achy feet. Will likely try a second pair for wear outdoors.

I love the fit and the overall style but thought I was ordering leather no suede. Description could use improvement.

I think the shoes are cute but the leather strap around my toe is irritating.

These are my first official pair of Birkenstocks! I've admired them for years and finally took the plunge. I ordered the EVA/Arizona Essentials style Birkenstock a few months ago, but they do not compare to a traditional Birkenstock sandal. The Mayari's, (color: stone) fit me perfectly. I am a size 8 and ordered a size 39, I have average width feet and the regular width is perfect. I gave 4 stars for 'Overall' and 'Comfort' because I was expecting a soft sole and the sole is definitely not soft. I was instantly dissatisfied and wondered if they needed to be broken in. I wore them around the house for two days and realized they were amazing (I was comparing them to the 'squishiness' of the EVA/Arizona Birkenstock sandals and sure, they aren't as squishy and soft as the EVA sandals), but they fit amazing and have matched every outfit I've tried them with!

I had to return and order a size smaller than I thought. Fits pretty well. The fixed toe strap is tighter on one shoe than the other, I’m hoping it will wear in with time. I like the shoes overall.

These feel pretty narrow. I’m hoping they’ll stretch out a bit and get more comfortable over time.

Looks and feels like it’s going to be a winner but I would like a different color and need a smaller size.

I’ve always wanted a pair of Birkenstocks. They have really improved their styles and are known for comfort and support. This shoe is very attractive. Unfortunately, their sizing doesn’t work for me. This shoe was too long and too wide. Had to return.

The jury is still out on the toe strap… part of me wishes I’d sent them back, but walked outside and they got dirty. The footbed is fantastic and very comfortable, but every time I put them on they hurt on the great toe area. It gets better after a few minutes except when I’m walking on any incline or decline. Hopefully this will improve in time. They are very attractive.
