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

Just received these sandals, they are very nice looking but I ordered the same size (38) that I wear in the half-dozen pairs of Mephistos and they were very large! But for the price I might try them again in a smaller size.

Love my Birks! Just wish they would make the shoe longer for the last two toes for those of us that have long toes. My little toes hang off the edge a little but nothing I have purchased comes close to the arch support Birks offer.

The footbed on these is so firm it took a while to get comfy for my sensitive feet, particularly the toe bar. But have faith, they will conform to your feet given time; now I sometimes wear them around the house instead of my slippers. I normally fit an 8.5 or 9 WW, and the 39 in Birkenstock's normal width (equivalent of American wide width -- check Birkenstock's sizing info) fits me very well. I just wish the soles were more flexible, because the strap across the instep starts to bother my ridiculously delicate feet if I walk a lot in them.

The shoes are a tad hard underfoot, but I think that has to do with me getting used to a shoe that is molded, if you will. Conversely, the shoe is not stif; it seems flexible as I walk. Further, the color is more of a light mint green than what I would expect of a titanium (gray / silver). I think the sheen / reflective nature of the material adds to the "minty" look. If you are looking for a gray color, you may want to go with silver. I opted for the black instead. Lastly, I have wide duck feet and chose size 39 (8) regular. Yes, there is some overhang in the back, but I don't mind that as the size hugged my wide feet exactly right. Also, both straps ensure this shoe does not come off, so that overhang I mentioned does not affect my ability to walk with said straps.

It looks like I'm the only one, but I thought this pair of Birks felt more narrow than my other styles. I compared it sole to sole with another pair, and not only was it more narrow across the top and widest point, but it was also shorter than my others. Perhaps I should re-order to see if it was just that pair, because I really like the blue color.

Not the most comfy of Birkenstocks, but as I remember they take a while to break in and mold to your foot. I Got these because of my bunion and wanted something to separate my toes. Still getting used to them but I like them and will continue to wear for years to come. My last pair of Birks (arizona style) I actively wore for 10+ years. Can't wait till they break in. They are still really well made shoes. Only 3 style stars because even though they're a more stylish Birk, they still look like a Birk. Excellent support. The best support you can get without a podiatrist.

I originally ordered the Gizeh. With my narrow feet, high arches and short toes, the Gizehs were not a good fit. I returned the Gizehs (great return policy Zappos!). I took a chance and ordered this style in 38N. I typically wear a size 7.5-8 with regular width. The fit is great! The arch support is much better in this style. I recommend ordering a narrow width if you do not have wide feet. The toe part on this shoe did not bother me (unlike the Gizeh which hurt after a brief walk). I bought these sandals to relieve my plantar fasciitis and tendonitis in my ankles. I am in my early 30s and wanted something somewhat stylish but comfortable and easy to slip on and off (I have two little kids so this is a must!). So far, these shoes have been perfect!

I liked these shoes and the size was right...except the lip that goes around it bumped my toes and a larger size would have made them too big, so they went back!

I have these shoes in another color, and they fit well and are extremely comfortable. I am exchanging these as the toe strap on the right shoe is too big and the sandal does not fit well. I will give it another try before asking for a refund.

This shoe is not for people with long toes! If your second toe is longer than your first toe, like mine is, these sandals will probably not fit. When I tried these on, my second toe kept rubbing up against the lip of the sandal. So sad, because these are comfy and cute! If only the toe bed was a little bit longer, the would've been keepers.

These Birkenstock sandals are a little more feminine than others. Although I am used to wearing thong-type sandals, when I first tried these sandals on, I thought the leather between the toes would rub. However, after wearing them for a short while, that is not the case.

I bought a narrow because in the past I've found Birks to be a bit wide. The sandals fit me perfectly right out of the box so it's a good job I did. I've never had a blister or an irritation. I'm tempted to buy another in a brighter color. I like the updated styles and colors now being offered.

I had originally purchased the Gizeh, but found that on my small feet (size 6.5), the tab of leather covered most of my big toe. This model is much more flattering to a small foot. I love the sueded bottom, which feels great against the sole of my foot, and the arch support can't be beat.

Very cute shoe--looks good on foot. A little strange feeling to walk on--have to get used to it.

Good shoe...there seems to be a lot of space between the end of my big toe and the end of the shoe though. Takes a little while to break in.

These run extremely large. I would say order at least 1½ sizes smaller than you usually wear. Other than that, they are great.

I read a lot of reviews online before buying as it's been years since I've gotten Birks - typically am a heels gal, but being pregnant again with back hurting when I'm barefoot around the house/running errands and wanting to keep my feet for heels for work, I got these. Keep in mind with sizes that they will look too big on your feet. Took me a while to remember that & you need to put them on & bend up so you are on your toes - your toes should not touch the end or they are too small. So, yes, they make your feet look huge but they will be comfortable at the get-go if you get the right size. The patent wasn't as cute & feminine as I was hoping, but again, I wear 4 in heels regularly. But these meet my needs & are comfy, but know they're Birks - comfy, supportive but not something you're going to feel super feminine & small-footed in.

I haven't owned a pair of Birkenstock's since my days as a college undergrad, but walking the streets of NYC necessitated that I reconsider. This style and color is more subtle, less hippie/granola and goes well with a lot of clothes. I can even where them as a summer sandal to work rather than just using them to walk to the office before quickly changing into other, less walking friendly shoes. Definitely give these a go if you're in need of a comfortable walking shoe that's a little more chic than a sneaker to get your around the mean city streets quickly.

Nothing new here, folks. This is the same terrific Birk we all love, especially if you are after a good, solid arch support. I was a little disappointed in the silver color. It's more of a metal silver instead of a shiny silver.

Great all purpose sandal. Comfortable. Fits well. Doesn't slip off feet. Good support.

I have to admit I was expecting more from this shoe, especially when it came to comfort. It actually makes my feet ache a little when I wear them - I'm hoping this will improve with wear. Also, not sure if it's the shoe or my foot (although I don't have this problem with other shoes), but when I walk they "fart", or at least make a similar sort of noise.

Ordered these sandals due to a recommendation from a family member. I should have followed the suggestions of others and ordered a size smaller as these run big. I also have little feet so the wide straps look bulky on me. They are comfortable, and I can tell even with the wrong size. I don't think I will order these again because they just look to big and clunky for me. I also would like something a little more youthful. The color just didn't do anything for me. I will be returning these and will try a Keen sandal instead.

Golden Brown is much golden than brown. It's almost bronze. Fit was a bit larger than expected too.

I loved these shoes online, and I love Birkenstocks in general, but unfortunately due to the strap arrangement on these shoes, the size seemed a little bigger than the 5 pairs of Birks I have already. The color was also lighter than pictured and kind of pearlescent. I was hoping for a darker, matte pink to match my clothes. I can see these being great for others though.
