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

I love the Mayari sandals, but for the 3rd time, I have received sandals that did not have a consistent sized toe loop. I have had to return them now three times for a new pair because the inconsistent toe loops were too tight. Super annoying. Quality control issues aside, the sandal is very comfortable, supportive, and stylish. I have a foot disorder in my right foot that causes me to have pain when I walk. These shoes are the only shoes that I own that give me almost no pain when I walk in them. This is due to the rigid cork which does wonders for me! Just wish Birkenstock would have better quality control... for $99 shoes, there shouldn't be this issue so many times. Knocked a star for this

Love the stone color. I have received a ton of compliments. These are my first pair of Birkenstocks. There is definitely a break-in period. I am about 2 weeks in and they are just about there. Happy with my purchase.

I was waiting for these beautiful sandals as soon as I tried them it hurt my toes. Too bad I was looking forward to wear them , had to returned them.

I love these but wish they came in narrow I will keep them they are very comfortable if a bit wide in toes

This is a gorgeous color and a classy looking style, simplified by slipping on for everyday use and easily paired with most any casual outfit. I definitely recommend for the normal toe, average-fitted person. Sadly - for me, I had to return. Apparently, Birkenstocks were just not made for me. I have tried several sizes up in narrow and regular and even printed their shoe measurement scale. I overpronate - with little to no arch, so my feet spread when weight is distributed, (all the time that I’m vertical) making them more wide without proper support to hold them up. In addition, I also have what has been described to me as a square “toe box.” So basically, my toes are more even straight across, as opposed to the usual slope. This brings me to my issue with Birkenstocks. Their sharp lifted edges will not contain my stubborn pinky toe, and it is super painful. I did find that the narrow size offered my arch, or lack there of, more support by keeping it more snug and in place. And the regular fit was just not wide in the correct places for me. In addition, I’d like to add to anyone also new to Birkenstocks that there is definitely a break-in period and it should be done in moderation as to avoid pain or further agitation to already existing issues. As I did not get to the breaking in part, I cannot offer any guidance on how long it takes, but I have full faith it is worth it. I am still super bummed I couldn’t make these work, but if you have none of the above issues - don’t hesitate, and buy these beauties!

Just wasn’t fit for my foot. Didn’t like how strap felt around my big toe.

I sooo wanted these to fit. I have a narrow foot, and these were just a tad too wide, causing my foot to slip a bit and hit the end of the footbed. The style was so cute and the foot bed so supportive, I was disappointed it didn't work out.

I ordered the bright pink. In person it looks more dusty magenta. Not a color I like. I wear an 8W. After reading the reviews I went with the suggestions. The 'regular' width was good but the 8-8 1/2 was too long. I should have gone for the 7-7 1/2. Probably would have fit. I might try a different color this season.

Too narrow between the arch and heel. Had to return.

I got these for my daughter last year and this. They run like 2 sizes too big legit. She loves them they look cool but I have to send them back again. Last year I just went the mall and had her try them on and bought those. I then sent the others back for a refund. I mean size 6 should be size 6. Now that I vented they are great though and she does love them. Just buy them in person.

Great shoe - I just should have ordered a smaller size.

I'm a size 39 and these are a perfect fit in width, length and I also bought them in the dark pink

The fit and size were spot on. But the staple wasn’t quite what I had wanted to I had to return them.

Everything is great about the shoes except for the scuff marks. I will be sending these back.

I love the look and the sole of the show but the pat around the big toe is so tight. Yes I adjusted it and max it as loose as possible and it still pinched. I ended up returning the shoes.

I love these and have had several pairs of Birkenstocks that lasted forever. The toe strap broke on these after 3 years.

I've purchased a few pairs of the Birkenstock Mayari over the years. This was my first purchase of the leather version; the others are the birki-flor material. For some reason, the toe straps seem looser on this pair than on any other pair that I've worn. I like the dark blue color and the comfort of the cork sole, but would prefer for the toe loop area to be more snug instead of loose.

These run 2 SIZES TOO HUGE! According to the chart, a size 9 female foot should take a 39 - I had to return and re-purchase TWICE to find that a 37 was the proper fit for a size 8 female foot. Also, these took more breaking in than I expected - the stiff leather caused a sore on the upper part of my toes from where it rubbed when walking. I'm still working on breaking them in! but I appreciate the good arch support and the thick soles which I think will wear better than my previous knock-off versions.

Very cute shoe, but it appeared these shoes were not brand new. The other Birkenstock’s I have purchases have always had a tag on the straps and the straps are NEVER buckled. These did not seem new

I had another pair of the Mayaris that I purchase 3 years ago. These fit slightly differently. They are a little narrower. I have small/average toes, and the part that wraps around my big toe feels tighter than my original pair. I think it may loosen a bit with wear, but they are not quite as perfect as my older pair was.

these are cute but they hurt my toes due to the leather being so stiff. had to return them

I live in Birkenstock sandals with the original footbed due to plantar fasciitis. Adding a pair of Boston clogs for the winter for the first time.

I have 4 other pairs of Birks, 2 Arizona's and 2 Gizeh's. Love them both, but wanted to get a different style in Blue Oiled Leather. When I ordered this shoe, the site did not "note" a small inventory, and it took them almost a week to ship. When I finally received my shoes, the one toe loop was larger than the other (which fit my foot perfect). I immediately got online to return for another pair in the same size and color.......OUT OF TSTOCK! Grrrr. I liked the look, and decided to keep the shoes, however, after wearing them a couple of times, I really wish I would have returned them. The sandal with the large toe loop is uncomfortable (my foot just seems to be clenching the shoe to keep it on), however I will be honest and say the sandal with the correct toe loop is comfortable to wear. I'm just so disappointment in Birkenstock for their quality control. When you're paying $125 for a pair of shoes, they should be perfect, without any type of defect.

The color bleeds on my feet !

I have another pair the exact same size, but these fit very snuggly, and my left foot hits the side of the shoe sometimes as I walk. Perhaps they just need to stretch out, so I will keep them and see? You can’t beat Birkenstock for support and comfort.
