Customer Reviews Birkenstock Taormina

My husband got me these in the lavender for my birthday. They are so cute!! They will be a tough break in, the leather is hard and not super flexible, particularly around the toe. The buckles are hard to use since they are so stiff and since they require buckling to put on and take off that can be frustrating. Once they are on they make me happy though! I love the color, girlie but rustic enough to seem effortless and chic without feeling like a cheesy “pink” - I have put them on every day for an hour or two of walking around the house and the leather is softening but they are definitely more uncomfortable than all my other Birkenstock’s upon first wear. I am hopeful it won’t take long to break them in.

Love everything. These are a mayari/yara hybrid. All of the fun plus stability for hiking and longer walking. Another reviewer had issues with the toe loop thickness. A bit of time will stretch and soften that to perfection. I cannot wear flip flops for longer than 2.5 milliseconds, yet I can’t take these (or the mayari/yara—same toe loop) off. Love these. Got the brown. Want the lavender!??

Unlike other birks, my arch was hanging over the side of the shoe and these are regular width (not narrow)

This is the cutest sandal! The narrow straps make it feel delicate but also secure.

Perfect sandals in every way - comfort, fit, look, quality. Love them.

I’ve owned many Birkenstocks throughout my life and I love these as much as the others. Not only are they super comfy, but I just LOVE the soft purple color. The ankle straps adds stability so their perfect for a day full of walking or playing at the park

Wanted to love them but…the toe loop was uncomfortable and the material wasn’t as expected, a little too “distressed” for me.

Lilac oiled leather is so lovely!

I wear women's 7.5 and bought these in size 36, which is the same size as my Birkenstock Yaras. These fit the same way, and it feels more secure because the back strap stabilizes the ankle. Love the color!

I love these sandals! Exactly what I was looking for!!

They were ok. They we're hard to buckle because I can't bend my knees anymore. But I wore them around the house and its just a different type of shoe, but they didn't feel right! But that's me! They are very comfortable for others.

Fit was perfect

I love Birkenstocks and have several pairs. I have always had trouble with thongs and things between my toes but based on several reviews that said despite that these sandals were comfortable, I ordered them. Unfortunately for me, they weren't. Tried for a few minutes and just too irritating. Had I more patience, they might have ultimately worked, but I don't do that any more - comfortable out of the box or back in the box they go. I loved the color and wish Birkenstock made the Milano sandal in more feminine color options. But, a huge thank you to Zappos for such awesome customer service - letting me try multiple styles. Finally settled on the Milanos - same comfortable footbed without the toe thingy.

I purchased these and some leather chaco sandals with the intention of only keeping one. I did not like the solid, hard sole on the Berkenstocks and decided to keep the chacos instead.

I am still breaking these, but overall I think they will workout. I can't wear slides anymore and these are cute with the strap around the back.

Honestly pretty upset. I spent $130 on these and the left toe loop is EXTREMELY too small for my toe but the right toe loop is perfect. I have this exact pair without the ankle strap and they fit perfect. Pretty disappointed.

I’m returning this sandal after just wearing it for one day because the toe strap of right sandal came off. So unusual for the quality I know of a Birkenstock sandal.

I ordered the same size of a previous Birkenstock slide on sandal (Myari) and found that it's too big. I never really noticed without the ankle strap placement. The biggest issue with these sandals, though, is that the buckles are extremely difficult to adjust. Maybe that will change with wear to the leather, but right now, it makes them annoying to wear.

I have a couple of pairs of Mayari sandals so I was hoping these would be keepers. The toe strap on these was so tight I needed two hands to get these off. Maybe it's because the leather is stiffer? I can't imagine the pain I'd be in trying to break these in. Sadly returning.

Wish came in a narrow size. Like other reviewers, had a toe loop issue, but in my case, the loop was too big. Had to adjust all the buckles to the tightest fitting (even then too loose) but the toe loop is non adjustable so it perched awkwardly higher than the rest of the straps, a large, unfilled tunnel above my toe. If you have normal to wide feet, these sandals would probably fit great. Length was TTS. Purchased 41, normally wear 41/10/10.5.

I am a solid 38 in Birkenstocks (9 in New Balance sneakers, 8.5 in all other shoes). I have a borderline wide foot and these did not fit in the narrow width. I loved the styling, especially with the addition of an ankle strap for stability. My biggest issue aside from the width was the toe loop. The strapping is quite thick and the crossing of the strap with the synthetic material was very bulky. So sad to send these back as they are beautiful to look at!

Fit well, similar to Mayari style. Ankle strap edge felt sharp and rubbed on my ankle bone.

I wanted to love these. I am ALWAYS a 39 N or regular in Birks but these were huge. Also the toe loop was at least 3 times the size it should be.
