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

this is a beautiful shoe! unfortunately the smallest size is about a half size too large (and they don't have this style in kids sizes)

Send me felt great, considering the brand. When adjusting the straps to fit my feet, my right foot had the circulation cut off on the top. Just not the style for me.

I like these sandals! Fits me like any other Birkenstock fits me, which - I really appreciate the predictability. Can't always get shoes from same maker to fit. I got the stone color and like it very much. The straps are narrower than a lot of the other sandals - I like it! Gives a slightly more feminine appearance that I didn't know I wanted. I was worried about the toe thing, but it is not at all constricting, and while I still feel it/know it's there, it's not a bad feeling to me.

I love them but I wear an 8 1/2 W and got the 39 and I’m sending them back to get a size bigger. I also opted to go for the real leather, it’s well worth it for the small price difference.

I bought these originally in Mocha in the "Narrow" width because I was reading that the "Narrow' width is for narrow to regular feet and the "Regular" width is for regular to wide feet, I don't necessarily have wide feet so I thought narrow would work. When I received my pair, they were VERY narrow. So I returned/exchanged them for the color in Toffee Birko-Flor because Mocha was sold out in the "Regular" width. When I received the Toffee color, the fit was perfect! ...but I was a huge fan of the color brown on my feet, so I returned/exchanged them for the ones in Licorice Birko-flor. The color was gorgeous but the fit is what stumped me. I ordered them in "Regular" and it read "Regular" on the box and shoe, but they felt so narrow. I had to send them back. The point is, unless you have really narrow feet, I suggest sticking with the "Regular" width for this style of Birkenstocks. I do feel like the widths vary from style to style when it comes to the Birkenstock brand. For example, the "Narrow" width in the Mayari style was too narrow, but the "Narrow" width in the Arizonas were just fine. Overall, they were great shoes, super supportive, but I suggest you find a store that carries Birks near you, trying them on in person, and then placing your order on Zappos. If you can't, either way Zappos has a fabulous customer service team that is so very friendly and makes returns easy and hassle free! As far as the Licorice-Birko Flor color and the Toffee-Birko Flor color, both being in "Regular" widths, but both feeling as if they were different widths...I am not sure.

Love the shoe but color is no where near what picture looks like. Also seems there is something rubbing from the strap making a raw spot. Hope it clears up soon.

Size and fit were good. The leather was a bit "sharp" against the top of my foot to start with, so it took some breaking in to be completely comfortable.

These are really cute, but unfortunately my feet are not only super wide, but my toes go almost straight across (especially on my right foot), so they hit right at the ridge at the front of the foot bed. If my feet were more "normally" shaped, they would be perfect. I'm sad to have to return them.

I really like these sandals. They required no breaking in, and they definitely don’t feel flimsy Ike most sandals. My only complaint is although they are a perfect fit I still feel like I’m squeezing my toes to keep them on my feet. I think it’s just because they’re heavy and I’m hoping I’ll get used to it because otherwise I really like them.

I chose to stay with my normal size and choose narrow. It was the absolute right fit for my feet. I unfortunately have uneven sized feet. My left foot is a half size bigger than my right. My left foot fit perfectly into the Birks however it took at least five days of breaking them in as suggested to get my Right foot adjusted to the sandal. It's true these sandals are worth the money. My feet feel so supported and I personally love the look of them.

These sandals were really cute. I probably needed to go down a size to get a better fit, but they turned out to be more casual than I was looking for right now. Returned them.

It took a while to figure out what size I needed, but now that I know, they are great! In the Arizona style I always wear a 39 narrow (8-8.5 US). So I ordered a 39 in the Mayari. They were a little too long. I exchanged for a 38 regular width and they are great. I think since these are a feminine style, I didn't need the narrow like in the unisex Arizona style. So I would order a size down and stick with the regular width if you aren't are true narrow. Others have mentioned the big toe loop that isn't adjustable and that bothers me a little bit, but I am overlooking it.

I had to return because the straps around the toe were uncomfortable. I'll have to try the more traditional style.

Cute sandals. Runs large. I had to size down a full size.

My first pair of birks. They are very cute, and quite comfortable. I have worn them a few times now and they are getting broken in. The only uncomfortable part has been the buckle area near my fifth toe seems to rub a bit. Hopefully that will get better with time. They seem to run really large, I sized down one size and they are still a bit roomy in the length. I usually wear a 6.5 and got the 36 (listed as 5-5.5 US).

These shoes are extremely comfortable and I love the mocha color but unfortunately I did send them back because I was looking for a style a bit more feminine and ended up getting the yara. As always the customer service at Zappos was amazing and was able to exchange quickly!

I ordered both these and the Arizona in a size 39. I generally wear a size 8.5 and my foot is average to wide width - not narrow. The Arizona's fit perfectly, but with these, my smallest two toes hit the top edge of the foot-bed rather than fitting comfortably inside. The actual shape of the foot-bed is probably exactly the same on both pairs, so it must be the strap nudging my foot closer to the side. I'm going to exchange the size 39 for a 40 and hopefully that works since i love the shoe otherwise. I'll update this review once i see if the 40 works.

Not true to size. Ran big for me.

I like these but returned them in favor of the Madrid slip-ons. I have thick ankles and the Madrid looked prettier on me.

Love the sandals - quality and comfort are great. I had to return for smaller size (for my daughter & myself). I am a 5.5 shoe & generally wear a 35 in the euro sizes. I ordered as recommended for 5-5.5 & recieved the euro the 36 which was too large. Same for my daughter who is an 8 (recieved euro size 39 & returned for the 38). Otherwise, perfect service & quality shoes!

The Mayari Birkenstocks are absolutely amazing! I love the fit, style, color options, and my favorite feature of the shoe is how it molds to your foot! The only dislike i have about the shoe is that they run about 1-1.5 sizes big, so I would recommend ordering a size smaller than you usually would. Otherwise, the Mayari’s are a fantastic pair of shoes!

These sandals are adorable! Please, PLEASE, Birkenstock, remember petite women in your sizing. I am a very petite woman with very small, wide feet. I need these in a 34. If you must, make them for kids but have an option (or two) that adults would enjoy as well (aka, a non printed, multicolored option).

Not a soft foot bed.
