Customer Reviews Birkenstock Mayari Oiled Leather

Loved the look of this shoe - went with everything and it was super comfortable. I gave it a low mark, however, because the cork began to crack after 3 months of normal wear. I wear Birkenstocks 24/7 and have never had such a problem. I don't know if it's declining quality or if I just got a bad pair. Maybe one day I will try this style again, it was my favorite.

I wanted to like the Mayari more than I did; they just weren't as cute on as I'd hoped. I tried several styles of Birks to see which would work out best for me – normally a size 7- 7.5 with medium/standard width feet...not wide, not narrow. The Mayari in a 36 Narrow fit very well, a slight bit less comfortable than the Arizona; however, the style didn't look nearly as feminine as expected on my feet. I didn't feel confident or like they were stylish enough. Plus, the brown leather looked almost black. Ideally I had wanted a lighter tone, which isn't an option. Finally, the Mayari’s strap that crosses right in front of the ankle made me look less tall, much to my chagrin.

Great stylish and versatile colors (onyx and Moroccan gold) -- but I had to return these. I think Birkenstocks just don't work for me. I overpronate and in spite of the tall arches they make my ankles turn in, because the footbed is designed with a mysterious lump on the outside edge toward the heel. In other words, there is a good arch but the footbed is not balanced or aligned well for an overpronator. In terms of sizing, a 39 narrow was perfect - I am a 40 about 75% of the time and a 39 about 25% of the time. So I guess these run ever so slightly larger than true to size.

I have to return these shoes because, even though I wear a narrow shoe, these are too narrow. Also, the "Silver" is a dark silver grey not a light silver like the picture. I have ordered other Birkenstocks and have been pleased with them. I am exchanging these for a 42 Regular in another color.

I was excited to see Birkenstocks in a narrow width; I'd tried on regular-width Birks before but I just swam in them. The width was perfect for my narrow feet (and the adjustable straps are great), but unfortunately the footbed contours just didn't work for me. I wear an 11 narrow and my toes are really long, but these seem to be cut for more short-toed people! It's a bummer because I was hoping for a less expensive alternative to the Mephistos that fit my feet so well, but I guess I'll just have to keep paying for them!

We found the shoes are nearly a full size larger than before. They would fit perfectly if I wear hiking socks but most customers purchase Birkenstock as summer shoes. Too bad Birkenstock do not offer half size in between.

Shoe was fine but wrong color sent.

Fit truly too big I’m constantly 7-71/2 This had at least 3/4 of an inch extra behind my heel

I have had multiple pairs of Birkenstock Mayari and loved them; however, the pair I received was not comfortable. The toe strap on the right foot was too tight or at an angle that caused pain to my toe. I had ordered a pair last year and experienced the same thing but I decided to keep it thinking it would stretch and conform to my foot. It did but still not comfortable. I don't know if it is my foot or the sandal but sadly, I had to return.

great fit but after awhile they lost their shape in the cork under the heel

I bought these to replace a pair that were beyond even Birkenstock's repair abilities, so I was very confused when I put them on and the strap nearest the ankle was way too loose. Finally, comparing them to my old ones, it was clear that the strap had been attached too far forward, so was being forced up by the arch support, and wasn't sitting correctly to secure my foot. I read the other reviews about weirdness in the Birkenstocks people were getting from Zappos, but gave it a shot anyway. Mine came in a proper box, and were clearly new, but my guess is they were seconds. Won't try that again.....

I tried these because I had similar in another brand that were old and falling apart. These shoes are actually really nice, right foot was great. But have had multiple surgeries on left foot and it's very difficult to find shoes that fit good and are comfortable. Unfortunately these are not a good fit for me

Love this shoe, but in this color the dye bled and I had pink feet for months before it stopped happening. I put up with them because I love the color. I wore them last summer and put them away in the fall. Just got them out two weeks ago for the summer and the toe strap broke. In total, I probably got 5 months of (not daily) wear out of them. I contacted Zappos, but the shoes were just under a month out of warantee. So disappointed. I'm used to having Birks last for years.

The material is so stiff that within an hour of wear (inside the house), I was in pain. The size was as usual and I have the exact same pair in a different color and, obviously, material so I thought they would be perfect. Ouch!!

For me, these shoes were very uncomfortable and I returned them. They are very good looking sandals and I am very sad they didn't work out, but they didn't match the shape of my foot and caused me some pain.

The edges of the straps were not comfortable on my skin. The holes in the straps needed to be about halfway in between the existing holes to fit correctly.

The leather was very stiff and since it is a show that goes between the toes, it was very uncomfortable.

Very stiff and uncomfortable

The straps (not even buckled) fit too tight across my big toe where the straps criss-cross.

I ordered oiled leather thinking it would be soft. The material Was hard and rough. Very disappointed.

The toe grip was uncomfortable between my toes. The sandals also looked used.

I really wanted to love these, but Birkenstock needs to do something about their quality control. One of these shoes was significantly larger than the other. So, one shoe fit perfectly, and the other was ridiculously large. The arch is also in a weird place, so that made them uncomfortable. I’ve made several attempts to buy Birkenstocks now, and there have been weird issues with the fit on all of them. I love the color of these, and I’m so disappointed to have to return them.

the strap between my toes hurt and would not loosen up
