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

Cute and Comfortable! I've wanted Birkenstocks for years and only just got around to purchasing these. They were comfortable for walking a few miles right out of the box. (I purchased them for dog walking and weary feet.) Beware: I purchased the "toffee" faux leather and they have a metallic sheen, though I didn't see that in the description or photos. Surprise?

These are great and fit just like the classic Birkenstock. The color is much more tan in person, not a dark brown like pictured. I wear an 8.5 and the 8 fit perfectly.

Wanted to love these but they made my feet look really wide. Ended up going with the Tstrap Birks in the same bronze leather

Beautiful shoe, but runs large. I wear a 5 or 6, and the 36 (smallest size sold) is quite big. I almost returned but decided to deal with the extra heel room because they're so cute.

I love Birkenstocks! Usually I wear Gizeh, but I figured I'd try something new. I purchased the black oiled leather, but the top strap gave me nasty blisters on the top of my inner instep! So sad. I am hoping the leather softens or my skin toughens. I already wore the sandals since I knew I love Birks so I can't return them. Be aware, the other black Birk is acrylic and polyamide felt fibers, not leather. I measure a size 10.5 medium, but I need to get 42 in Birks or my heel hangs over in back.

I have many pairs of Birkenstocks, but none like these. With that said, I've always been able to put new Birk's on and wear them out of the box. These shoes are a little different. The part that I'm still trying to get used to is the strap that is close to my ankle. If I loosen it, the shoe is sloppy and my foot slides forward. When that happens, the toe straps become uncomfortable. When I tighten it, I can feel it on the top of my foot to the point that it is getting a little sore (but the toe straps don't bother me because the other strap is holding my foot in place). I'm going to stick with it because I believe the leather will soften and become more pliable, making all of the straps just right! I love the style of this shoe so a little bit of early discomfort probably will be worth it in the end. The arch support in this shoe is great. I'm giving it four stars for comfort now with an extra star to be earned when and if they become totally comfy.

I read all the reviews and I'm glad I did. I wear between 7 1/2-8, ordered these in 38 and the run 1/2 size large which is perfect for me. The leather is soft but takes a few wear to get adjusted.

I love the golden brown and I love the footbed. I'm still in the 'break in' period. Because I have wide feet, they've go to give, which I understand they will. I've had these shoes for a couple weeks and I can wear them for several hours a day now. I'm giving them 4 stars for comfort because of the break in period.

Loved the style and look. I usually wear a size 6-6 1/2 in shoes I had to order a 36 and it's still a little big. The shoe seems to be a bit hard when you walk the buckles kind of put pressure on the foot. I hope that will be less pressure as they are worn more.

I'm not a fan of the typical birks (they're a bit too chunky for my liking), but saw these on a friend and thought they were much cuter and a bit more dainty. Ordered them to try and at first was put off because they still seemed clunky, but I gave them a few days trying them on every once in a while and they've grown on me. They are a bit slimmer looking than the classic birks, and I really like them! I got the mocha color and really like how neutral they are I think they will go with just about anything. I usually wear a 6.5-7 and got the 37 upon recommendations from other review, and they fit perfectly! My only complaint is that only 2-3 months after I bought these, the cork has started to crack in the ball-of-foot area (where it might bend if you were to stand on your tiptoes). However, I have been very gentle with them and I really have not worn them enough to warrant a crack in a pricey pair of shoes.

These are such awesome shoes, but they are NOT for narrow feet. Though I could tighten two straps, the loop over the toe was much too big. If you have medium to wide feet, these would probably fit just fine. Ugh. Bummed.

I've gone through 3 pair of Mayari. Two out of 3 eventually had the toe strap pull out. I took them to the shoe repair guy right away since these are all I wear. I resoled one pair and love the support given to my average to wide foot. Since a bone fusion surgery a few years ago, these are my go to shoes 98% of the time. The style is prettier than the clunky looking Arizona. Also in my closet are Madrid, Gizeh, but the Mayari is my favorite. I wish Birk made a few different colors of Mayari.

These Birkenstock sandals look better on my foot then some of the others I have tried. I like the arch support and the thick sole protecting my tender soles! Love this Mayari in Habana oiled leather color too.

So let me start by saying these shoes offer the familiar comfort of Birkestock we all know and love. The toe wrap is really kind of awesome b/c I don't have to grip my toes in any way for the shoe to stay on. I struggled with buying these b/c they are not as trendy or youthful as the Gizeh thong and I am not a fan of the traditional look of a Birk but this is an ok mid-point for appearance. Last thought...the strap that goes across your foot (the one closer to your leg) can take a week to adjust to - I got a blister but super short lived and I just loosened the buckle one notch. Great comfort and middle of the road appearance (way better than traditional, not as cute as Gizah).

I love my Birkenstock Mayari sandals. The toe bar takes some getting used to. The first day of wearing them, I got cramps in my toes.

So sorry to have to send these back. They are sooooo comfy and supportive, but not as supportive in the arch area as my Mephistos. Very well made shoe and a great buy. They did run a little large on me in the length.

I just received these and am pleased with my purchase. Here are some things you should know. I wear a 7.5 shoe and have narrow feet. I got size 38 narrow and they fit just right. There is a ridge in the sole just behind the toe strap that I think will take a few wearings before it molds to me feet. All other aspects of the shoe are very comfortable.

I wear a narrow fit which is what I ordered. The fit was appropriate..not too wide. I didn't find the base of the sandal to have much comfortable support as I had anticipated. It was "uncomfortable", but I thought it would feel softer. The base does appear to have potential to conform to the shape of your foot with time. It was also a little longer than my foot but not to the point where I needed to order a smaller size. I ended up returning and keeping the Mephisto.

Sandals fit me well and seem very comfy. I am returning because the silver is too shiny. Would have preferred a more subtle silver. Will order a different color.

Ordering a narrow width seems to have done the trick! This is my second pair of Birkenstocks. I rarely wear the first pair because they seem so clunky on my feet. A friend recommended I try the narrow width on this pair and I am much happier with the overall fit and appearance.

These are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I am in between a 6.5 and 7, so I ordered the 37 and they fit perfectly!

I have very flat feet, so these weren't immediately comfy for me. I could feel all the curves and creases that are part of the Birkenstock brand. However, the straps are incredibly soft and comfortable--something I wasn't sure would be the case since they aren't leather. I started wearing them immediately and aside from the bottoms of my feet being generally sore at the end of the day, there was no rubbing or other issues. After another couple days of wearing them, I'm quite happy! I got the regular width, even though I have small feet, and am happy I didn't go with narrow. I suppose if you buy narrow in other brands, it'd be wise to do it with these, too. Overall, I really like the strappy look of the sandal, and am looking forward to getting more than a year or two out of my summer footwear.

Thought this would be better than a thong shoe, and it might have been so if my big toe were smaller in circumference. Although these would stretch, I fear my big toe would be badly blistered by the strap for a long time. The sandals look nice and I regret having to return them.

Since I have a high arch and plantar fasciitis, these darling shoes are so comfortable and I can wear all day. The footbed is a little harder than normal and the size runs big. I had to order one size smaller.

These shoes are super comfy, really stable and have great support. These were not cheap but they are totally worth the cost considering how long they last.
