I love these sandals. I have a few medical problems with my feet and was beginning to have daily pain in my toes and arches while wearing flip flops and other sandals. Since I have been wearing the Birkenstocks I have had no pain and my feet feel great. I also have better walking posture when wearing these.
The style is cute on. I like how it "anchors" my big toe so that my feet feel stable and secure, compared to the thong style. The shinier texture of the leather makes the sandal more stylish than the original version.

Wonderful Birkenstock which runs about a half size too big. Per usual Zappos exchanged my first pair and shipped me out a size small in one day. Excellent shoe and excellent customer service!

My first pair of Birkenstocks, and they did not disappoint! I love the thinner straps on this Mayari style. So comfortable, I've been practically living in them. (After reading other reviews, I did order one size down, and the fit was perfect!) Ordered the "titanium" color - which is more of a greenish-gray metallic than the pic would have you believe - but super cute!

My first purchasing experience with Zappos was a great customer journey and experience. I can't give enough praise on how easy they make it to shop and return. When I called to ask a question regarding my shipment, the agent was one of the best! She was informative, helpful, could speak and went above and beyond. Zappos also carries narrows which is increasingly difficult to find - I will be purchasing more shoes soon!

I always liked the comfort of Birkenstocks better than the styles, until I found this one. It's much more feminine and even a tiny bit 'dressy', in the black patent & titanium colors that I bought. Extremely comfortable, from the very first day.

These are very cute sandals that are comfortable. I typically wear a 7 or 7½ and I ordered the 7 equivalent or the 38. I also ordered the narrow version as my feet are on the narrow - medium side. I have had a recent foot problem and my podiatrist has strongly suggested that I wear sandals with more support (than the ones that I typically wear) so that is why I ordered these. I love them!

Cute sandal - love the metallic color! I wear an XX wide, and the wide fit just fine. The leather is a little stiff, as others have said, but it does soften up quickly.

Shoes fits great...and even though my husband thinks I should keep these exclusively for a trip to Machu Picchu, I love 'em just to hang around. They are extremely comfortable.

My favorite pair of Birks! I wore these every day for almost three summers, and walked a hole through them. Time for another pair!

I have been wanting these for some time but could never get the right fit until I saw that Zappos had them. I tried several sizes - 41 and 42 in both the narrow and regular. Plus I tried the real leather straps as well as the synthetic birkibuc. I think I must have had 6 pairs ordered and tried them all. I ended up keeping the 42 reg birkibuc as they felt the most comfortable. I usually wear a women's size 11M in most shoes. Thanks to Zappos incredible service I was finally able to fit the perfect fit. Love them.

I love these. I chose the color to go with jeans and other denims. They are extremely comfortable as well. I wear Birkenstocks every day whenever it's warm enough.

The Mayari are quite comfortable out of the box but I do recommend easing into wearing them for long periods of time. I wasn't sure if the toe loop would be bothersome but it's quite comfortable. I was debating on color as I'm usually a 'stick with black' sort of gal, but I'm glad I stepped outside of my comfort zone and went with the onyx. It's a nice gunmetal sort of gray that should go with nearly everything. I was very unsure of what to do about sizing as many of the reviews seem to indicate that you should order down a size and many say to order your true size. I am a solid 8.5 (39 in Dansko) and decided to just stick with 39 narrow. The 39s are an exact fit without much wiggle room so if you're 8.5 I would suggest 39 and if you tend to run towards 9, you might want the 40.

I have plantar fasciitis and ordered orthotics for my shoes and still had no relief. My friend told me to look into ordering a pair od Birkenstocks. I did now I have 3 pair and it's the only shoes I wear now I have cleaned my closet of all others.

These are by far my favorite sandal from Birkenstock! They look classier than the traditional Birks with the strap on the back. More feminine but with ULTIMATE comfort. I daringly wore these on a weekend trip to Chicago with lots of walking and they performed excellently straight out of the box without breaking them in first. I had to loosen the strap around my pinkie toe at first but once they loosened up a bit there was no issues whatsoever. Yesterday I got them soaked in a torrential downpour and they still looked new this morning after they dried out in front of the fan all night. The oiled tobacco is a fabulous neutral tone that I wear with everything. I also own the red birkiflor sandals with the synthetic upper that were also super comfortable right out of the box with no rubbing on the toe strap. These can't be beat! They are the only sandals I can wear all day and have my feet feeling as good as ever! I wear a 10-10.5 in other shoes and I bought a 41 to fit perfectly. I typically like a shoe with a roomy toe area and these fit the bill!

I jumped on the Birkenstock bandwagon. I didn't want the style everyone was getting, so I opted for the Mayari in patent black. I did some research on what width to purchase, and I decided on taking the plunge with ordering the 38s in narrow. My feet are a true 7.5 and the size I went for fit my feet perfectly. The shoes are stylish and simple. Would highly recommend!

My new Birkenstocks are so comfortable, and I love the style and especially the color. It's sort of a silvery blue. I have a very wide foot and usually have a hard time finding shoes that fit properly, but these sandals fit perfectly.

I ordered these shoes well into my third trimester of pregnancy in hopes of alleviating some back and hip pain. I really cannot believe how much just wearing supportive shoes has helped. I have short, wide feet and needed to order a size 36, but they fit great! This is my first pair of Birkenstocks (though probably not my last), and they immediately began to help with my back and hips, though the first couple of days they made my feet slightly sore since I was not used to such intense support. Now I wear them almost all the time, even around the house, and they do not bother me at all. I am able to stand and walk for much longer periods of time now, even though I am 38 1/2 weeks pregnant, and thus it has been much easier to keep up with my toddler and things around the house. I would highly recommend these shoes. I only rated them a 4 for style because they are still a bit clunky, though I wear them with shorts, or to church - everywhere, and because I was hoping for a gold color but could not find one in this style.

I absolutely love these. Comfortable and really cute. It only took a couple of times for the leather to soften up and be really comfortable between my toes.

Definitely the best looking Birk. Looks very feminine on the foot, and is super comfortable. A great sandal that you will want to put on every day! Also, the narrow looks better on the foot. The wide looks too wide in the toe area.

This is such a versatile shoe. The color works well with most outfits. Also, I have plantar fasciitis in both feet and the firm arch support works very well for me. I am very impressed.

I love these shoes! They were my first pair of Birkenstocks since childhood, and I had forgotten the joys of foot-focused German engineering. Since purchasing them, I have only stopped wearing them to sleep (reluctantly). It did take a few days for my feet to get used to the footbed, but now that they have adjusted, nothing feels as wonderful as my Birks.

I'm glad I rounded down to size. I have a slightly narrow foot and the narrow size fits well. I love the more-feminine style. Takes a little while to break in, but it will be worth it!

I am in love with the Birkenstock Mayari! I have flat, narrow feet and love the solid support Birkenstocks provide. I was THRILLED to see that they offered the Mayari in NARROW width. They are the only shoe I am wearing this summer! I ordered them in 2 colors. I wear a size 9 (40) and they fit true to size. The location of the straps keep them solidly on my feet and I like the "prettier" style!

Great, very comfortable sandals as others have mentioned with excellent arch support. Keep in mind that Zappos does not translate the European sizes very well--I wear a 9.5 US size but I always get a 41 for European shoes, Birkenstocks included.

I found these more attractive than the classic "Arizona" style but they still have the amazing Birkenstock comfort and outrageous arch support. There are seriously no sandals more comfortable than Birkenstocks. Can wear them every day of the summer without getting the sore feet I get from flip flops or other flat shoes and they are cute, too!
