Dankso and Keen I wear 42 / 11 these in a 42 felt a whole size larger. It makes to toe bar thing line up weird so returning for 41. I normally wear Teva / Reef flip flops all summer but this year my feet are aching. So I'm trying these, hoping for some relief.

Absolutely love these sandals. I was worried about the toe wrap as I'm not a regular thong wearer, but it's barely noticeable during wear. As with all Birkenstock regular footbeds, it takes a few wearings before they feel just right. I've worn them on 2-3 mile walks up and down hills and they just keep getting more comfortable. My normal size in American sizing is 6.5 Medium and the 37R fits perfectly and isn't too wide. And the style is relatively cute and feminine (difficult to find in Birkenstocks).

These are so comfortable. I got them in the stone color and they go with everything. Fit is perfect right out of the box. My first pair of Birks so they feel big and clunky. But the comfort and support factor is worth it the looks.

Love my new Birkenstock shoes! I'm glad I read other reviews as I ended up ordering a whole size smaller, and they fit perfect. This style definitely runs large.

I used to wear these years ago (not saying how many)..they haven't changed a bit. They are made well and very comfortable. I have 2 minor issues with them though. They don't come in half sizes. I wear a 9 and the size of Birkenstocks I had to get are a 9/10 so they are a bit long. Also the arch on my left foot somehow creates a nasty sounding noise when I walk. Some sort of suction between my arch and the arch of the sandal. Kinda funny... Hoping this will go away as they break in.

These are fantastic as I expected from Birkenstock. I was pleasantly surprised that the metallic on the sandal was exactly what I hoped for: a bit of a sheen but nothing too blingy. They dress up and down with ease. I wear them almost every day!

I swore I would never buy Birkenstocks. I am pregnant and live somewhere very hot, however, so I needed a shoe that would provide good support during those last few months as my flip flops just weren't cutting it. I am a complete convert. These shoes are fantastic. They look great on and don't remind you of the days of old when you'd see people wearing these with socks and hippie dresses or skirts. They are now my go-to-shoe for every day wear during the summer and I'll even choose these over my flip flops when doing basic things, like taking the dog or the trash out. As another reviewer has said, the first few days they felt a bit odd but once my the shoe molded to the shape of my foot, it's as if I have a custom fit. I highly recommend them.

These are by far the most comfortable go to sandals. I have worn them in Cabos, Cancun, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. My go to for comfort - hey, when you're on vaca, you're supposed to be comfortable, right?

Ordered these because I had ankle surgery and needed some comfortable, flat dress shoes with no ankle strap to wear with a dress to an event. They were great. Since they've been seen on the runway a lot lately, it didn't seem weird to wear Birkis and the "patent" look dressed them up a bit. It definitely worked. I am enjoying having these and have worn them a lot now. Very comfortable. Runs slightly larger than past styles I've had.

I love these shoes! My first pair was black patent that I ordered for a trip to Hawaii. I needed comfy shoes that I could wear to some evening events where we would be standing all night. These fit the bill perfectly, and I receive many compliments. These are the only Birkenstocks that fit me because I have a bunion and narrow feet. The two don't seem to fit the regular Birkenstock cut; however, the toe band on the Mayari keeps my feet in place. I gave it four stars for comfort because while comfy now, my feet hurt after long hours of during the initial break in period. Once the sole conformed after about 1-2 weeks of wear, I have happy feet.

The leather is a bit stiff around the buckle. I wore a little medical tape for two days on my small toe which worked just fine. This is my third pair of Mayari's and I'll probable buy more.

I love these! They are so comfortable. I forgot what it feels like to have a new pair of Birks. The oiled leather is so soft and comfortable. I already own an old pair, different style, and thought It would take forever to love my new ones. But right out of the box, they're perfect. I think the size is right on. I'm an 8- 8 1/2 and I got a 39 like they suggested and they fit perfectly.

I have loved Birkenstock since the '90s, and I don't know why I stayed away for so long! These, of course, are the most comfortable shoes I own, and the metallic strap adds the Chic to my inner hippie.

Best shoes of my life. Not exaggerating. But seriously, I wear an 8.5 sometimes but often a 9 with an average to narrow width. I bought 39 regular and they are perfect. I vacillated between the regular and narrow width but I'm so glad I got the regular. So comfy and these don't overwhelm my feet.

They aren't a soft cushy shoe, but I love the Birks. I usually wear a 6-6.5 and I ordered the 5-5.5. They fit great.

These shoes are so awesome. However they do not run according to the size chart. I am a true 8 and the 39 was too big. I ordered a 38 and they were perfect!

These sandals are like being bare foot! They needed zero "breaking in" are (so far) virtually indestructible and they are my go to summer shoe.

I obviously love this shoe, I have them in 5 colors. They are comfortable, give great support, are easy to adjust, and I think they are great looking. I am waiting for them to make them in white so that I can have 6 pairs.

I have always loved Birkenstocks. These are no different. The toe piece takes some getting used to but like all Birks, once you break them in you're golden. People just love these too and the antique lace was a great pick for me. Very neutral with a little hint of metallic glimmer. If you have never bought Birkenstocks, I recommend trying them on in a store first. They fit differently than most shoes.

This sandal has the same Birkenstock comfort, with a bit more stylish look. As with all Birks, the run a little wide, but the adjustable straps compensate for that.

These might be my favorite Birks yet! Put them on right out of the box and wore them for a long weekend. Very comfortable.. didn't seem to need any breaking in like some styles. I have always worn a size 38 and have a 8-8.5 shoe size.

It took a few days to break them in, but ever since then these sandals have been super comfy. They are also really cute. The antique lace color is a little more cream than white, but it's still very pretty and even shimmers a little. I'm loving these sandals and know that I will be wearing them all summer.

All flip-flop/thong sandals hurt my feet, so I did not have high hopes when I ordered the Mayari sandals. I wanted a pair of black patent sandals for the summer (and Zappos is so great about returns) that I figured I did not have much to lose. I was shocked when I put these on and they did not irritate the space between my first two toes. It is going to take a little while to break these in as they do not have the soft footbed, but I am absolutely thrilled with this style! I always take a 40N in Birkenstocks and these fit perfectly. I have thin feet with high arches and long toes and these sandals actually make my feet look feminine. I am thinking about getting a second pair in a different color. Thank you, Zappos!
