I get flak for being a long-term Birkenstock sporting girl (got 1st pair in 8th grade and never stopped wearing the classic Arizona style for 15 years). However, this Mayari style is an awesome upgrade. They are totally classy and dress up the classic Arizona style immensely. Such a simple design twist and all the same comfort and amazingness. I love these shoes.

Apparently this brand runs large. I ordered my size and they were huge!

I wish Zappos sold everything I need because I love them! Order today, wear tomorrow. I usually wear a size 6 dress shoe and ordered these in the 5-51/2 and they fit beautifully. So comfortable and they are quite adorable! Thanks Zappos for being the best customer service business on the web!

I love this great casual summer shoe! It's so comfortable. I ended up getting a size below what I would normally get and they fit perfectly. The antique lace is a light pearly color and it is a great neutral. They will go with any of your casual clothes. I am a college student and these are amazing shoes to just throw on and walk to class.

These are my favorite shoes, period. If you've got large, wide feet like I do, you won't be disappointed with these. I'm about to order another pair simply because I need to get the other ones resoled and I don't want to be without my Birks for even a day!

These are the best sandals made. I will never wear any other sandal every day. I've worn this style in August in Disney World, St. Augustine, Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Las Vegas, and I can walk forever. Every color is attractive. Nothing ever rubs, there is no break in required. I wear a 8.5 to 9 and order a 39. I have a slightly wider forefoot, and like my toes to spread - the regular has plenty of room for this. I can't stand a thong between my 1st and 2nd toe, but with these, you can't even feel it. I hope they never get rid of this style.

Love these Birks! They provide comfort for my aching feet (I'm a runner) and they look stylish! I'm not sure why I ever stopped wearing Birkenstocks... but I'm back!

I have severe arthritis in the ball of my foot with no remaining cartilage. These sandals are the best shoes I have worn. The toe ridge and the way the straps don't put too much pressure anywhere have kept me walking. I have wide feet but get the Narrow size one size smaller than other Birkenstocks and they feel more like a regular shoe.

Love this shoe! This was my first pair of Birkenstocks. Ordered size 9 (my usual size) but had to return for and 8. So easy! And it took about a week to break them in good, but now they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Just ordered another a pair of the Madrid style. Cannot wait for them to arrive...tomorrow! Love Zappos.com. Love!

I have high arches and plantar fasciitis. These do not have enough arch support and they are killing my feet. Unfortunately, I have worn them too much to return.

Always my "go to" casual summer shoe. For two years I've tried to leave the house in other "fun" summer sandals but can't do it. Due to arthritis in my hips and knees I need comfort and support, yet at fifty three, I want to remain current and stylish. The patent leather Birkenstock fits the bill. I wear them everywhere - shopping, lunch with the girls, out with my husband and to the lake. They are darling with casual summer skirts, bermuda shorts and capri's adding comfort and support at the same time. I prefer "black patent" because it looks great with everything "summer". Along with a black patent leather "messenger style" handbag. Gives you a classic casual summer look. They are comfortable out of the box but trust me - they become "yummy" after a month of wear and get better and better in time. I'd say "best" if you break them in before a vacation. My foot is size nine with the width falling between medium and wide. Size 39 is a perfect fit. As always, Zappos customer service can't be beat. Seriously, if Zappos estimates next day delivery, you can bet the bank on it. Your order will be on the front porch the very next day.

Comfy and stylish...what more could you ask for? These Birks deliver, and no animals were killed in the process. I didn't realize these were not leather, and I almost sent them back (don't usually like to wear non-leather shoes), but they are so comfortable that I kept them. Despite what you might read online about the straps not stretching, they do stretch a bit. I've had to go one-hole shorter on both straps. You won't be sorry with these shoes!

This shoe is cute, cute, cute. I've worn Birks for 20 years, and was looking for a less clunky pair. Found 'em! They're pricey, but they also last. The first pair I received was too large (mine had worn off - the size); and a 40 isn't really a 9 1/2. So I downsized to a 39. Also, the footbed of the pair I initially ordered didn't match each other. Excitedly awaiting replacement. Zappos Customer Service rocks!

My doctor recommended that I try Birks since none of the shoes I tried were giving relief to me when I stand all day at work. It took a few weeks to break these in, but I am noticing a gradual change for the better. I love these.

I love these Birkenstocks and had the hardest time finding them in my size. In one week's time Zappos let me know my size was in stock. I ordered and a few days later I had my favorite sandals!

These shoes look and feel great. I have a narrow foot and Birkenstock sandals are the make that I'm able to wear. Look forward to having these shoes for a long time.

I have been wearing Birkenstocks for my whole adult life. When I used to teach, I loved that I could be on my feet all day and never be sore. Now that I am a mom, I love that I can slip them on quickly and be comfortable chasing my kids around all day. I was looking for a pair of more feminine looking sandals to replace the New York pair that I have had since college. The Mephisto Helen shoes were recommended to me by a friend, but when I bought them and tried them on, my feet were too wide for the tops. My toes were spilling out over the footbed and it just looked terrible. I also bought the Birkenstock Gizeh but had to return those as well because the rounded leather part above the thong extended out on top of my big toenail and just looked silly. The width of the Birkenstock was perfect, though. So I was happy to find the Mayari because I felt like they were a great combination of smaller, thinner, more feminine buckles and straps, with a wider footbed. I guess I never realized how wide my feet are. I normally wear medium width shoes, but for some reason my toes are happy spreading out in these. If your feet are narrow, you probably would have to make the straps very tight. I do not know how comfortable that would be, or if it would compromise the look of the shoes. These are super comfortable for me and I do not think I have taken them off all day. I love the Golden-Brown Birko Flor color. It is just a little fancier than brown leather flip-flops. I am really happy with these and I know now that I will always own a pair of Birkenstocks!

I love these shoes! These are my first Birkenstocks. I have to say that I don't think they will be my last. I bought a size 6-6.5. They were to big. I sent them back and got the next size down and they fit perfectly!

Most comfortable sandal I own. Never owned a pair as my feet dont' give me trouble and hate to spend the money, but bought these on sale and I hate to take them off.

Wonderful fit and quality you expect from Birkenstock. I hadn't worn thong type sandals in a while and was worried about it irritating between my toes - not to worry; they were comfortable right out of the box! The silver is pretty; I am taking to Europe as my casual dress shoe for the evenings.

Love these shoes! I have 5 pairs of this same style and wear them every day in the summer! Excellent arch support and heal cup. I have terrible feet and these are the only sandal that I can wear with comfort all summer long!

I have worn Birkenstocks for years, they are my favorite sandals. They are easy to dress up/down. I enjoy the styles, colors and prints.
