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

I so wanted to love these but my foot would not slide into the mold of the shoe. OMG did they hurt. I’m guessing I need a larger size. I had to return them.

Too big. I have 8-8.5 womens shoes, but must return and order smaller size.

The toe ring rubbed the inside of my big toe big time Returned

Had to return these because the strap between the toes was not very comfy. I know they would’ve been fine once broken in but I got them for vacation and didn’t have time to break them in. Also the color was not as dazzling as they could be.

the toe bar on this shoe hurt my toe. I have others but this particular shoe just hurt. Will return.

Fit & Size were fine... however, the underneath side of the toe strap where the buckle is attached has the metal staple holding the buckle coming through & rubbing on my left foot.. left a scrape, not a blister, a scrape. I'll have to take a hammer to underside of the buckle to push the metal staple back up into the leather strap itself. Right sandal is fine. With my foot size, there aren't many choices available so I'll fix it myself, but this is not what I expected out of a $100+ pair of sandals. If it weren't for the staple coming through, I'dve given this a better rating... I shouldn't have to be fixing a $100+ pair of sandals...

I like the looks and feel of this sandal, but they were too big. I usually wear an 8 or 8 1/2 in my running shoes, so I ordered the 39. However, this was just too large. I’ve had some tendonitis in my foot, and my podiatrist said not to wear flip flops, but the arch support and the heel cup felt like they would provide necessary support.

These Birks are super cute but extremely narrow between the arch and heel. Too uncomfortable to wear. I was sad to return as I’ve written Birkenstocks for years.

I like the concept and always hear from others how comfortable they are. It may be the style or my feet, but I didn’t care for them.

I was nervous about ordering “regular” width. My suspicions proved correct. Way too wide. They’re going back. I have a A-to-B width foot, low arch, low profile. Have worn Birkenstock since 1975. Narrow is my width, for sure!

Overall I was disappointed for the price I paid. The sizing is odd, it's a range 9-9.5, or 8-8.5. Because I am generally a 9, I went with the 9-9.5 which ended up being wayyyy to big. I sent those back and went with the next size, again a range, and they felt slightly too small. Despite this, I decided to keep the smaller size and see if they stretch out a little, hoping they do.

I have warn Birkenstocks for more years than I can count. This is the first pair that failed on me in two and a half years. The toe strap broke. It won't stop me from buying Birkenstocks but may not this style.

The dye rubs off on my feet every time I wear them.

Unfortunately, a strap over the toe completely broke after moderate use for 3 months. I had another pair in the past that lasted for 5 years! Not sure if this was a fluke or this product is being more cheaply manufactured these days.

Tried to break them in gradually. Still feels hard on the heel and on the toes.

I love the shoes and have had several pair of Birkenstocks. This pair didn’t last 2 years before the toe strap broke. I’m contacting them to see if they will replace.

I LOVED these sandals for the two weeks they lasted until the top metal buckle broke on one of the straps. It was a true bummer. I have sent them back and Im ordering another pair because they fit my feet SO well and are very comfortable. Hopefully, it was a fluke issue.

If you like Birkenstock these are for you. I have never worn them and they are so popular I’d give them a try -not fit me, stiff insole and just felt clunky….sorry Birki!!

So these are everything I love about birks, except for the first time in my Birkenstock life, they caused major pain in my front pad of my foot. I actually thought it had to be something else and it took me months to finally suspect these. As I'm a flat footer who's always been able to wear birks...these just have too much arch support for me to the point of pain. And I'm so disappointed. And yes, I wore them for over a year now and even gently hammered the arch and sections of the footbed that felt too bulbous to my foot. Still foot pain. Now that I haven't worn them for a month and my foot is feeling much better...darn. I'll miss these and my other pair of birks.

Love the way these feel and look, hate that they don’t last long. I can sometimes get a year out of them, but my last pair only a month. Zappos replaced with new same ones but I’m disappointed that they are not oil look. They are just light brown and not like my previous ones

The fit and size are good. However, the leather for this shoe looks nothing like the picture on-line. I have tried on oiled leather in brown and it is distinctive - like the picture of the tobacco oiled leather shows on-line. These are just taupe and I already owned a pair this color. I returned the first pair because they looked like synthetic material. Second pair arrived looking nothing like the picture on-line. They are nice shoes - comfortable - but they are not as pictured on Zappos website.

I love these sandals and have purchased several pairs over the years. They full at least a FULL size too big on me. I am a 7.5 in most shoes and a 7 in flipflops. I had to order the 37 (listed as 6-6.5) and they fit perfectly. Love the shoe... but the sizing chart needs to be updated.

had to buy a bigger size in this model

the strap on one shoe I had to adjust differently. I don't know if the holes are in the wrong place or what. They both felt big and brand new that's weird. Usually they are a big snug. Cold is all wrong. Do not look oiled at a ll. A really light beige color. not what was pictured.

These Birks are not leather and therefore feel a lot different on my feet. There is no "give" like there is with my other leather/suede Birkenstocks. I loved the look, but they are not comfortable at all, even though the fit is fine. I ordered these because the leather ones were backordered. I will return and wait for the real leather to come back in stock.
