Comfort is great, and this is my favorite sandal, but QUALITY IS TERRIBLE. The Birko-flor material is not durable. I have had three pairs of the Mayari and the toe ripped in the same place on all three pairs, each with one season of moderate wear. Sadly Birkenstock will not make any Narrow width Mayari in leather. Trying Mephisto instead, the quality seems better.

I own 6 pair of Berkenstocks. Love them! I usually wear size 6 regular shoe which corresponds to 37. But this style with the toe strap, I need Size 36 even tho it corresponds to size 5, 5-1/2. This was my 4th pair of this style so I knew what I needed. For a 2 or 3 strap, I need a size 37. Zappos is great about returning, so don't be unhappy. They will make it right. The materials are great and last years. Get several pair. They've been voted #1 sandal!

POOR QUALITY. I have had these shoes for 4 months and they broke. The material that goes around the shoe broke off from the shoe itself when I was simply walking. I am very disappointed. Love the style and the comfort. But don’t recommend spending this much money for a shoe that won’t last. Save your money.

These were too big for me. When I tried to use the “return “ link, it lead to no where.

I’ve had these just over a year, but have hardly worn them because they gave me such bad blisters. I put them on last night and the toe strap pulled straight out of the sole. I’d expect more from such an expensive sandal that has been worn for less than 5 days total.

The inside left sandal rubber sole was not glued down all the way. I had read reviews before I ordered these and others had commented on structural problems they had. I decided not to keep these nor am I going to exchange them for another pair. I I think it is best if I simply find a different brand.

I love birkenstocks but I received the color tobacco brown instead of tobacco leather -- which is a tan color. I love tan but rarely have anything brown. Super disappointed.

I don't even know how to describe what's wrong with these sandals because I'm not really sure. There's a hump right under the big toe that's painful and I'm not sure why it's there. Seems like a design flaw. Obviously, I just don't get it when it comes to these beloved sandals...pretty much the most uncomfortable thing I've ever tried on.

Material was described as "blue oiled leather" - it was plastic. No way could you call this material "leather". I sent them back.

What happened to Birkenstock’s? Wore these to work today and they were so uncomfortable. Read reviews saying it had a soft footbed and these were like cement. My Feet swelled as well. I’m sure they can’t be returned after wearing them, so these are going in my pile of “what was I thinking” shoes. I’m also a solid 8.5 shoe size and these were much larger than I thought they would be.

fit fine in the footbed when I adjusted the straps but my heels moved around when I tried to walk. Maybe they were too wide, but my heels kept landing on the ridges of the shoe -very painful.

Another companies quality going down the drain. I am a solid 8.5 in most shows so I ordered the 39s. Just huge! They look very cheap like a knock off from Walmart. Going to exchange for a smaller and completely different style.

I ordered these for my daughter, and for the first time, I was stunned by Birkenstocks quality control...big glue smear on the front that was quite obvious, and then a glue blob sticking out from one of the straps. Returning to Zappos and hoping the QC was better on the 2nd pair I've ordered.

Unfortunately the shoe is already broken when I received it. One of the string broke out.

So disappointed in these sandals. Purchased them in late December 2018 and have worn them only occasionally since. The cork has already cracked and started separating horribly on both shoes, and now both toe straps are about to break also on both sandals. I've had Birkenstocks last for years with regular wear. These are literally falling apart and are threads away from being trash with only occasional wear over 9 months. I've seen several similar reviews, which makes me wonder if Birkenstock's quality has reduced in recent years. I loved the comfort of these sandals, but hesitate to purchase again when they fall apart so quickly.

These are the most uncomfortable sandals. There is no way these are real Birkenstock, not like any of their shoes I have ever worn. Very very disappointed- sending back

I ordered this and was so excited to try on but one is definitely a narrow and one is regular! The right shoe is about a half inch bigger all the way around. So disappointed, will be returning.

Ordered the shoes on May 31, 2019. Top band tore on August 26, 2019. I got less than 3 months of use out them - and it’s not like I even wore them all day, everyday. I thought Birkenstock’s were supposed to be better than that?!? I was just walking along and the top band tore. I didn’t use the shoes outside of normal, everyday wear. I don’t have particularly thick feet or anything that would cause the top band material to stretch. The fake leather material just isn’t very good. Disappointed as I feel like I should have gotten far more use out of them before they wore down.

I ended up with several heel/arch pain in my right foot after long wear of these. Never had that before with my Birkenstock’s

I was excited to get these new Birkenstocks as a change from my Arizona pair. Horrible disappointment that I cannot even get this pair on my right foot. They arrive using the very last hole on the pair. I had an injury to my right foot and a high instep on top of that. I will get some puffiness on the right foot but it is not a monster foot by any means. Please start to make the cute pairs with a longer strap so someone can add a hole please. The leather felt very stiff, however if the strap was a bit longer I would have kept these and attempted to break them in. They are already packaged up to be shipped out tomorrow.

Super sad!!! I bought these & the 2nd time I wore them the small strap between the toes completely snapped! Luckily Zappos had me return them & replaced them.
I’ve worn them many times & the strap broke AGAIN!!!
I will NOT buy this style again.

Only wore shoes once in while on weekends and after 3 months they have worn out on the bottom.
Others have lasted me years.
Not sure if these are authentic Birkenstock’s.

Horrible, bought them for my wife to go on vacation and ended up just destroying her feet. Had to wear sneakers to the beach. The straps on these dug into her skin and left her bleeding. Absolutely horrible and disappointed because the other reviews were so good. I bet the other reviews are for other shoes they combo into one review. Stay Away.

These shoes are very wide and bulky on a thinner or more dainty foot. Unless I grow a fat 6th toe these will never work for me.
