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

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.

Fit great, very painful on my plantar fasciitis feet!

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

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.

This is my second review on this style, this is also the second pair of this same style. The first pair were so so comfy and fit perfectly. This pair fits okay, a bit tighter than the first pair. I attributed this to being new. I had also mentioned that the new pair was very stiff. (They fit okay; I were a 7 1/2 and a 38 is just right for me) After wearing for a couple months, they have not gotten more flexible across the straps or in the sole. This is the first disappointment I’ve had with Birks. I came home from work today with the tendon in my arch screaming at me. I’ve been wearing regularly, so can’t return, but can’t wear them either and I’m very disappointed.

Surprisingly uncomfortable. I’m shocked...returning. I was more comfortable barefoot. Not my first pair of Birks.

I bought these in March of 2018 but found out I was pregnant and due to swelling of my feet put them in the closet to bring out this summer to wear. I love them...so comfortable and cute. A month into wearing them though the toe strap broke. Unfortunately Birkenstock doesn’t offer any type of guarantee or repair to their shoes. Not sure I will purchase another pair of Birkenstock’s.

I bought these at the end of last summer to replace a pair of the same style that I had worn for years and that I loved. Brought the new pair out today and I am unbelievably disappointed. They do not feel like the same shoe, but rather like a cheap imitation. The footbed is rough and the sides of the footbed at the heel rub my foot. The toepiece is also rough. The underside of the leather straps feels like sandpapaer. The entire sandal just feels .....off, like it was the last shoe cut from a piece of material and didn't quite fit the pattern. The entire shoe is a bit off center, and feels crooked on my foot. Overall it is a HUGE disappointment, and unfortunately, I cannot return them since I bought them so long ago.

These run very large and even so, were quite uncomfortable.

This is my second pair of Mayors, and this pair is nothing like the first pair that I loved. I've worn the other pair so often (including hiking) that they are worn down. I got this pair as a replacement, and I am sorry to say they are painful to wear. The strap on the right side cuts into my little toe so deep that it bled (the left shoe did not do this). I've worn them now and cannot return this pair, so I guess I'll deal with it. But I definitely won't be wearing these Birkenstocks. Unhappy.
