These are awesome and what a great sale price. They are so comfortable right out of the box and fit very true to form - wonderful B with a great new color - thank you!

These are my all time favorite Birkenstock shoes. I have them in 3 colors because the are so perfect fitting and go with everything living in South Florida - always warm. I really do not like in between the toe shoes so these are perfect. I also have long narrow feet - the Germans know a thing or two about shoes - and cars.

Love! I like to wear sandals but most of them don't have enough support to get me through the day comfortably, unless they are clunky and unattractive. This sandal in silver is the perfect blend of comfort and cute, plus it comes in narrow! I have worn these almost daily since I got them. I can't wait to look for more colors next spring!

I wear a 40 in most shoes. Had to return the 40 and get the 39, but other than that, these sandals are great. I own several styles of Birkenstocks and Birki's. I can walk all day in them without issues. Love them!

I have bunions, so finding a comfortable thong or toe loop sandal with good arch support is important. I can't wear the Gizeh because the plastic thong chews up the skin between the toes. These were so comfortable I forgot they were new and wore them 8 hours straight with no problems. Cute too.

Sole is very hard at first, but love these once they're broken in a bit. Great arch support for flat feet!

If you like Birkenstock, you will love the Mayari. After wearing for a day, the leather straps soften and molds to your feet. The footbed takes on the shape of your feet. Birkenstock sandals are my go-to shoe of the summer.

I am truly enjoying my new pair of Birkies. They have the classic comfort with a style that I can wear with an array of clothing. This is my second pair of sandals and I know they will last for many, many years to come.

I really love these sandals, the footbed has gotten very comfortable after breaking in. Buy the actual leather one. I was accidentally sent the birkoflor, and it feels so flimsy. The leather straps will last you much longer, but they do require a break-in period (for me, it was luckily only a day). Now they've conformed to my feet and it feels lovely. The trickiest part with Birks is finding the right size. I am a true size 7 foot, and I actually settled on size 36 (supposedly women's size 5!). I also have wide feet, and their regular is a little bit too narrow, but it's still comfortable.

I'm really happy that I purchased these sandals! I tried them on in a store in town and I couldn't get over how comfortable they were. Since they were the wrong color I checked out Zappos and I received them with in two days. I have a very narrow foot but I opted for the regular width because I know how Birks tend to run and they 'fit like a glove.'

I love these shoes! I would wear them everyday all day if I could. They are super comfortable and the arch support is fabulous. I would recommend these shoes to anyone who wants happy feet.

I love these shoes. I have back problems, but I love flip flops. Flip flops make my back hurt so bad. These shoes are a great compromise - they are casual enough to wear as flip flops but they don't make my back hurt. Love them! The patent leather also allows them to be dressed up a little bit and makes them a little less "hippy."

Needed slip-ons with support: these definitely fit the bill! Obviously, they are very well made and have a supportive footbed. I've never owned Birks, so it took me a bit to get used to them, but with time, they become very comfy. Size 39 fit my 8.5 feet perfectly. Regular (not narrow) worked for my average width feet. Lastly, they are chunkier than your average "cute" sandal, but I think this style is very good-looking and great to wear with pretty much anything.

I've been wearing Birkenstocks my whole life, and I still love them. This new style looks modern and fun, and it's great for all the walking I do every day! I would suggest the soft footbed for extra comfort.

I love these shoes! This style is a more feminine take on a classic. Every time I wear my Birkenstocks, I feel like I am doing such great things for my feet! The raspberry wine is a nice purple that is surprisingly neutral and seems to work with most, if not all, of my wardrobe. I have a wide foot and wear 9.5-10 usually. The 39 is a perfect fit. So glad I got these, and, of course, Zappos made sure they got to me quickly. Thanks!

I wear Birkenstocks for comfort and for the desire to preserve my foot health so that I can continue to wear fashionable heels longer. The oiled leather Mayari is one of my favorite Birkenstocks in terms of comfort. I am use to toe separators, but my MIL, who cannot wear the Gizeh, reports the Mayari to be comfortable as well. Fits true to size. I am on the wide side of size 37B or US 6.5 in French and Italian designer shoes, and I take a 37 regular width in all Birkenstocks that I own including the Mayari, Arizona, Gizeh, Sparta, London and Paris. Re sizing, there is a quarter inch of space in the back and a little more than that in the front. I could have fit into the 36, but I believe that the extra room is consistent with the recommended fit of the shoe. Re width, it's my understanding that if your foot is basically straight up and down, the recommendation is go with narrow. Since my foot fans out, I go with regular and I do have to tighten the straps all the way. For some people, the Mayari may read as more traditionally pretty or feminine because it is strappy. Since the Vogue magazine endorsement of the Gizeh and the Arizona, the Mayari is a perfect start to a Birkenstock wardrobe, if you are hesitant because of the preceded clunkiness. Once you have tried one Birkenstock model, the comfort will have you coming back for more, and the clunky charm of the shoe will grow on you. I am to the point of Birkenstock love where I think even the Arizona actually flatters my foot and makes it look cuter and more petite. My only quibble is I wish Birkenstock made more models available in high arch. I am rating it as having excellent arch support because, relative to other shoes, I am very very happy.

Worishofer, Finn comfort, for comfort. For fashion, stuart Weitzman makes a very comfy pump called the platswoon. My most comfy high heeled sandal is the YSL tribute low heel that still raises you pretty high due to its platform.

These live up to every Birkenstock I've owned. Super comfortable. I always order a size smaller. I wear a US size 8 and have a wide foot. The 37 regular is the size that works best for me. I love the silver color and the toe cross style is very comfortable. My feet have become addicted to the great arch support of a Birkenstock!

Dog took my left shoe and I cannot find it! So I have to buy another pair. I have a high arch and instep with a large "saddle" bump on the top of my foot (google it). Finding sandals that don't cut off the circulation on the top of my foot and have support for my high arch is hard. These fit my need. My last pair lasted 10 years.

So comfortable! Except for my running shoes with custom orthotic devices, these Birkenstocks are my most comfortable footwear. And they look better with skirts and dresses than running shoes do! I absolutely love them. I wear a women's size 9 and 39 fits me perfectly. The titanium color has a greenish tinge to it, which I don't mind.
