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

Not my favorite style of Birkenstocks. The way the toe opening is made caused me to get cramps in my toes. My feet didn't feel comfortable in them and while they look great in the box, when they're on they're very uncomfortable. Returning them.

These shoes do NOT work for people with flat arches. I have really flat feet/low arches, and after wearing these nonstop for two days, I began to develop knee problems. The chiropractor told me the shoes' built-in arch support was too high, and was throwing my legs off, causing knee issues. I had to return the sandals. I do not recommend these for other fellow flat-footed people.

I have two other (now three) pairs of these but for some reason the bed under my big toe seems elevated and is rather painful under the inner aspect of my toe. Though they just needed to break in but it doesn't seem to be working. My first two pairs were great.

I had to purchase the 8-81/2 the first pair was not a good fit. So now I own 2 pairs and only, 1 fits. I wish I could the first pair back but, I don't know what your policy is. The new pair is perfect and helping my arches a great deal. They look great and I wouldn't hesitate in buying them again.

Good, I always buy a size up to accommodate my high instep otherwise the strap isn't long enough to close. They are worn every day here in Arizona and unfortunately only last 6 months until one of the toe straps breaks off (usually the right one).

The Habana Brown Leather Mayari are my favorite style Birkenstocks ever; I've purchased THREE pair of this style, but may not ever do it again. The toe strap on my first pair broke; they ended up not being the leather straps (my purchase error!), so I cut the toes straps off and wear them around the house. But now the leather toe strap (opposite foot, so it's not how I walk) on this pair has come loose from under the sole lining. I'm pretty disgusted.

I was looking for a slip-on shoe that would give good support for everyday casual wear. I'm still in the break-in period, but so far they have worked fairly well. My regular shoe size is a 6.5, so I tried both the 36 and 37 in the Mayari. The arch supports my foot better in the 37, but it's still not perfect. If they came in a 36.5, I think they'd fit perfectly. Hopefully they will conform better to my foot with wear.

So I have loved these shoes very much and am so disappointed that after barely a year, the leather from one of the toe-straps became detached from the shoe bed. Unfortunately, this is the second time that this happened with this same style of shoe. This time, I won't replace them with the same shoe but will pick a different Birkenstock design.

I was surprised at how stiff/rough they were. This was not my first pair of Birk’s, and I was very disappointed. I’ll be returning this style as it was hard as a board and rough on my feet.

I'm a size 8 foot and this was huge on me- almost whole inch too big- plus the toe loop was tight and awkward

I liked the way they looked. Arch was too high for me and weren’t soft enough in heel. Thought heel softness was part of this style

I wanted to love these, even sizing up to try and get a better fit. I have very wide, chunky feet, and the top strap pinched my foot terribly. They were too long for my feet, so the top strap was too tight and my toes didn't slide comfortably into the front strap. I wore them in the house for an hour and while it seemed like the strap wasn't digging in, I took them off to find my arch literally bruised from how tight they were. These would be fine for someone whose feet are long and narrow, but not short and wide.

The shoe is really cute but it seems like each pair of Birkenstocks I get are different these days. These were definitely smaller and much narrower than any pair I've ever purchased. Because of the size issue the toe loop was uncomfortable. For size purposes I usually wear a 43.

So cute but they went back. Size chart indicated 38 for a 7-7.5 but it definitely fit like an 8. Also, the strap around the toe wasn’t constructed well and had a bend that rubbed against my toe. So, the stars are off a bit .. I love Birkenstocks and they are generally comfortable .. this pair just didn’t hit the mark.

The shoe was not nearly as comfortable as I'd hoped. I have back problems and was hoping it would help with that, but it almost seemed to be worse in these shoes. I'm not sure why. Also, after 6 years, the strap broke. While that's a decent amount of time, I have Target shoes that have lasted much longer.

Really cute, got lots of compliments. Only one complaint, the material is not leather I believe and feels more like fabric, so I do worry about the wear. Time will tell, for now I plan to wear them a lot!

This shoe fit me very well, and I thought it was very pretty and well made. However, the top strap was too high for my foot, and the heel was slightly flatter than what I'm used to; so I didn't find it comfortable. I ended up returning it and buying a comparable Mephisto which costs more but is always more comfortable for me.

did not like the feel of the footbed

I ordered these in a 39, which is my usual Birkenstock size but they were too big so am returning. I have pretty skinny feet, but always order in a Normal width. I think I may try something with more straps/upper support. They were so cute I just wished they fit!

I love the 'oiled blue'. I am not sure how and where these are made but this is the second pair I am returning. The right toe loop fit weird on both pair. I have two other pair that are perfect.

I LOVED these shoes for two years but then the toe strap broke. Super comfortable for someone w/ plantar fasciitis. I was so disappointed. After reading other reviews, I am going to try another pair the same style of birks with a leather toe strap this time and hope they last longer.

The style with the cross over the big toe was uncomfortable. Wish they made this colour in Florida style with softbed

I owe several pairs of Birkenstocks. This one ran a little big. Definitely the wrong style and color for me.

The fit and size were fine however, the shoe is so stiff, I just couldn't be comfortable in it. The seem to be well made but, the cork is just a little too stiff for my liking. The look is bulky. Just not my cup of tea. :(
