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

These are great Birkenstocks however I have only had them two years and the strap on the left shoe broke. This is unheard of for Birkenstocks. I have worn Birkenstocks for decades and have pairs that lasted 10+ years. Two years is barely getting started with a pair of Birkenstocks. Very disappointing.

I am disappointed in my purchase of Birkenstock sandals. This is the first time I ordered a pair and I expected a much higher quality sandal. The footbed (which is most of the sandal) is flat, thin, and has no contours to support my foot. I feel as if I am walking on the ground, which for me is not comfortable, hence, why I want to wear a good sandal with arch support and more sole between the sandal and the ground.

Love the sandals but I’ve had the shoes for one month and one of the straps just broke. For the brand and cost. Need these to be replaced

I need more support

No thanks! These HURT! Isn’t Birkenstock known for comfort? These are my first pair and I dislike them very much. I only put them on the try on and didn’t even walk around my living room and my feet were already hurting. It was like walking on soles of wood. I think they do have arch support but it rubbed on my arch. My feet did look super cute but sadly these just weren’t for me.

I have a small foot and and need the arch support. So I had to go with the children's size in these. But they are very stiff and uncomfortable. I would not want to put my child in these as I am sure they would make blisters.

Me personally did not like these. They are very hard and no cushion. The look and fit were great, just didn't like how hard they are

There is something wrong with right shoe. Does not fit correct.

The size and fit were very good. The leather nice and soft. But the description says a birko floor. I have been wearing Birkenstocks for 6 years. I was very disappointed after wearing them to realize these do not feel like a birko floor at all??

Strap on right shoe was defective as it did line line up correctly with the buckle which resulted in a noticeable gap when tightened. I had to return.

Love the shoes, but I was disappointed that the toe band broke after only about 4 months of typical summer wear. I've been a life long wearer of birkies and was definitely expecting a longer life span

I am finally writing about the Mayari. I’ve had four pairs of these over the years and every single one breaks at the toe strap, rendering them useless. The only pair I have that have not broken are the full leather ones, which are stiffer and not as comfortable but at least they last more than a year.

My first pair of Mayari were great, but I believe these silver ones are defective. The right shoe fits just as all my other birks fit, but the left puts pressure on my foot at the front strap as though there is a defect in manufacturing. The last pair of birks I ordered online also had something wrong in the manufacturing, really disappointing that the quality has gone down so much. Used to be able to rely on these always fitting as expected right out of the box. Sorry to have to return because I have looked everywhere locally for the silver mayaris.

This totally didn't work for my feet. My heel wouldn't stay in the back of the shoe. Really strange. I have the white mountain version and love them. Think I'll buy those again for $45.

Was too big for my narrow foot and didn’t feel comfortable Felt that soles were too hard to walk on

I am disappointed with the Mayari. . The leather feels more like a manmade material, not the like the soft leather Birkenstocks I have been wearing for 40+ years. I have always loved the comfort and longevity of Birkies. But the leather that is now being used - for the Mayari anyway - is nothing like an "oiled leather."

These sandals do not accommodate my bunions on each foot. Sorry!

Normally these sandals last me 2-3 years. This pair in particular had the toe strap snap on me. I primarily just wear them around the house. First time this has happened.

Loved these Birkenstocks for a long time, but for the first time ever, I had a strap break on a pair of Birks. The toe loop simply tore off the attachment point on the insole. The Birko-Flor material just fall apart. I did wear them for a long time, but I've never had a strap failure on a pair of Birkenstocks. Usually the shoe fails only when the sole wears out.

This shoe seemed short to me. I wear a 9 1/2, and my toes were at the very end of the 9-9 1/2. Also, they are very stiff with a hard ridge right behind the toes that hurt with every step I took. These are going to be returned.

As always Birks are comfortable and very supportive. Unfortunately Zappos’ quality has been horrible lately. These had globs of glue all over them and the footbed was damaged. I returned and ordered directly from Birkenstock. I also got oiled leather instead of Birko-flor. I didn’t like those at all. I will not be ordering Birks from Zappos anymore. Too many used and damaged shoes sent. And I mean VERY used! Toe prints and all.

the right shoe was much tighter on the toe - much more cheaply made than my other birkenstocks

Fit and size were fine. I have purchased numerous pairs of these sandals from Birkenstock. This pair....hard as a rock. They are uncomfortable. I am hoping they will soften with time. Disappointed.
