Customer Reviews Birkenstock Mayari Oiled Leather

I really wanted to love these shoes. They look very cute on, but I am not a fan of the Birkenstock sole. It is hard and very uncomfortable. I asked my sister, a big Birkenstock fan, if they soften up and she said not really. My foot will need a more cushioned sole. Loved the style though!

I wore my first pair of Birks in '97 and the design has changed very little since then. Same comfy footbed, same breathability. And they go with everything. I'd probably go one size smaller next time. My toes have lots of room in front.

This shoe is so cute and I wanted to love it but the toe wrap is WICKED tight! I couldn’t even wear them long enough to break them in, it hurt so bad. Had purchased knock offs of the same and this was not an issue.. they didn’t have the arch support of Birkenstocks though. I hope one day I can find a good fitting Birkenstock!

These are awesome but they run BIG BIG BIG. I wear a 7/7 1/2 and I ordered that size. They are at least one size too big, maybe more. I will reorder a 6 and maybe even a second pair a size smaller than that.

These summer birks are very cute ! I usually wear a 8.5, so sizing down to a 38 in Birkenstock gave me a much closer fit.

This popular style just wasnt to my liking. I found the arizona to be much more supportive and good at keeping my feet in place without a lot of gripping.

Fit of footbed was fine; Birkenstock makes the best footbeds for those of us with arch (both long arch and metatarsal) problems. However, Birkenstock shoes are made for wide feet (which is typical in Germany), and so it is best if those of us with narrow feet buy a size down. On this style, the straps, which are adjustable with buckles, are stiff and uncomfortable. Have to return, too bad. Wish Birkenstock would look at getting elastic straps!

Fit amazing! Color a little Lighter and non-dimensional. I want nothing more than to fit them and wear them forever but they arrived with. Blue defect so they will be returned :(

these are HUGE. i've worn a 39 in birkenstocks forever. these make me wonder if i need to even go down to a 37.

Overall these are comfortable! I was under the impression these shoes run a size larger so order a size smaller, and I'd say that's true. I also thought, from researching online, these had a wider regular footbed than normal. I didn't find that to be true... my feet are not wide and I'm always a regular width in shoes but found my whole foot taking up the footbed of my new birks. I do have a bunion on my right foot and that fit comfortably, but if my feet were just a smidge wider I don't think I'd be able to wear them comfortably, so be aware if you've got wide feet!

Fits like my other pair

Love these shoes.

I loved the style, but the fit was much larger then I expected. I typically wear an 8 wide, sometimes 8.5 so I ordered the 39. It was way too big. The width was great though. I am exchanging them for the 38.

The arch support on these is something to get used to! They recommend wearing these in short bursts until you get used to them. They are super cute for summer

I wear a 7B and have low arches. I bought these, the Florida’s and Arizona’s in 37R. Both these and the Florida’s felt a bit narrow (though they look okay) but I didn’t want to risk discomfort so I chose the traditional Arizona’s and use the last notch.

I loved the sandal but it is way too wide for my foot. I had to return them and I wish that Zappos would carry the narrow ones.

I wear an 8.5 and bought these in a 38. They fit well, however, they are a little tight around my big toe which I am assuming will give as I wear them in. These are initally more comfortable and fashionable than my Arizona Birkenstocks, meaning I did not get blisters from these, but unless the toe strap loosens, I prefer the Arizonas.

Cute style and I like the sheen on the color (toffee birko-flor)

I usually wear a size 7 so I ordered a 38 but it's too long. I like the style and they are comfortable.

Great shoe. Had to size down a half size.

I usually wear a 40 in the Boston and Zurich styles so I got the 40 in the mayari. They seem longer than the other styles but when I tried the 39 my toes touch the top rim. I have long toes and I think with the Mayari style my foot sits further forward because of the toe strap therefore my long toes hit the front. I'm bummed because I really wanted these sandals for an easy slip-on summer shoe but I'm not keeping either the 40 or 39. The footbed on all Birkenstock's are wonderful if your foot sits well in the shoe.

Very high arch support, too much for me. They were uncomfortable and I don’t want to spend weeks breaking in shoes.

Looks larger half till full size.

Overall it looks great, though the toe bar hurts a lot for the first several wears. Eventually you’ll pat it down as you break it in. I still find mine to be a bit painful and the leather on top of my toes seems to be a bit rough. I got the regular width, I might try the narrow next time if it comes in narrow. Wish it came in the soft, those have a less aggressive toe bar. They’ll take a while to break in, that’s for sure!

This shoe runs a half-size larger. I like the bronze color so I will exchange for a smaller size.
