Customer Reviews Birkenstock Mayari - Nubuck Leather

These feel pretty narrow. I’m hoping they’ll stretch out a bit and get more comfortable over time.

They cute comfy and nice

I’ve always wanted a pair of Birkenstocks. They have really improved their styles and are known for comfort and support. This shoe is very attractive. Unfortunately, their sizing doesn’t work for me. This shoe was too long and too wide. Had to return.

The jury is still out on the toe strap… part of me wishes I’d sent them back, but walked outside and they got dirty. The footbed is fantastic and very comfortable, but every time I put them on they hurt on the great toe area. It gets better after a few minutes except when I’m walking on any incline or decline. Hopefully this will improve in time. They are very attractive.

It's a beautiful shoe and fit well for length and width, except for one thing. The high sides on the inside of the shoes is rubbing on bone at inside base of ankle - very painful from the minute I put on the shoes. I wear a 12AAAA; these shoes would have been great if not for this problem. Sadly, I am returning them.

Mavari runs about 1/2 size large. I exchanged for the next size down, and it fit great. I love the color.

Ordered the 6/6.5 as I am usually a 6.5. Felt far too big and the arch in the wrong place. Went with the 5/5.5 instead, still feels a little off, but I know Birkenstock's are known for needing to be broken in.

I love the Mayari sandals, but for the 3rd time, I have received sandals that did not have a consistent sized toe loop. I have had to return them now three times for a new pair because the inconsistent toe loops were too tight. Super annoying. Quality control issues aside, the sandal is very comfortable, supportive, and stylish. I have a foot disorder in my right foot that causes me to have pain when I walk. These shoes are the only shoes that I own that give me almost no pain when I walk in them. This is due to the rigid cork which does wonders for me! Just wish Birkenstock would have better quality control... for $99 shoes, there shouldn't be this issue so many times. Knocked a star for this

Love the stone color. I have received a ton of compliments. These are my first pair of Birkenstocks. There is definitely a break-in period. I am about 2 weeks in and they are just about there. Happy with my purchase.

Very surprised that the narrow size fit my very narrow, low volume, flat feet. Sandals are typically a nightmare for me, even narrows. I was not overly optimistic about these, but some reviews complained that these were too tight/too narrow, which is usually an indication that it may work for me! I have to tighten them all the way, to the last hole, but they feel like they will stay put and not flop around and cause blisters. The arch feels like it could be a bit too high for my flat feet, but I haven’t done any real walking in them yet, so the actual comfort level remains to be seen. Will update my review when the verdict is in on that front. Overall, I am excited to potentially have a sandal that works! The style is fairly nice. Very casual, but a bit less clunky than the standard Birkenstocks.

I was waiting for these beautiful sandals as soon as I tried them it hurt my toes. Too bad I was looking forward to wear them , had to returned them.

I love these but wish they came in narrow I will keep them they are very comfortable if a bit wide in toes

This is a gorgeous color and a classy looking style, simplified by slipping on for everyday use and easily paired with most any casual outfit. I definitely recommend for the normal toe, average-fitted person. Sadly - for me, I had to return. Apparently, Birkenstocks were just not made for me. I have tried several sizes up in narrow and regular and even printed their shoe measurement scale. I overpronate - with little to no arch, so my feet spread when weight is distributed, (all the time that I’m vertical) making them more wide without proper support to hold them up. In addition, I also have what has been described to me as a square “toe box.” So basically, my toes are more even straight across, as opposed to the usual slope. This brings me to my issue with Birkenstocks. Their sharp lifted edges will not contain my stubborn pinky toe, and it is super painful. I did find that the narrow size offered my arch, or lack there of, more support by keeping it more snug and in place. And the regular fit was just not wide in the correct places for me. In addition, I’d like to add to anyone also new to Birkenstocks that there is definitely a break-in period and it should be done in moderation as to avoid pain or further agitation to already existing issues. As I did not get to the breaking in part, I cannot offer any guidance on how long it takes, but I have full faith it is worth it. I am still super bummed I couldn’t make these work, but if you have none of the above issues - don’t hesitate, and buy these beauties!

I really like the fit of the shoe with the exception of the material around the big toe. The big toe loop was huge for me so there was basically zero support offered by having it there. Also, the bottoms of the shoes slipped around on my floors to the point where I was concerned I myself would slip on a slick floor outside of my home.

Just wasn’t fit for my foot. Didn’t like how strap felt around my big toe.

I sooo wanted these to fit. I have a narrow foot, and these were just a tad too wide, causing my foot to slip a bit and hit the end of the footbed. The style was so cute and the foot bed so supportive, I was disappointed it didn't work out.

I ordered the bright pink. In person it looks more dusty magenta. Not a color I like. I wear an 8W. After reading the reviews I went with the suggestions. The 'regular' width was good but the 8-8 1/2 was too long. I should have gone for the 7-7 1/2. Probably would have fit. I might try a different color this season.

Too narrow between the arch and heel. Had to return.

I got these for my daughter last year and this. They run like 2 sizes too big legit. She loves them they look cool but I have to send them back again. Last year I just went the mall and had her try them on and bought those. I then sent the others back for a refund. I mean size 6 should be size 6. Now that I vented they are great though and she does love them. Just buy them in person.

Great shoe - I just should have ordered a smaller size.

I'm a size 39 and these are a perfect fit in width, length and I also bought them in the dark pink

The fit and size were spot on. But the staple wasn’t quite what I had wanted to I had to return them.

I love the look and the sole of the show but the pat around the big toe is so tight. Yes I adjusted it and max it as loose as possible and it still pinched. I ended up returning the shoes.

I love these and have had several pairs of Birkenstocks that lasted forever. The toe strap broke on these after 3 years.

I've purchased a few pairs of the Birkenstock Mayari over the years. This was my first purchase of the leather version; the others are the birki-flor material. For some reason, the toe straps seem looser on this pair than on any other pair that I've worn. I like the dark blue color and the comfort of the cork sole, but would prefer for the toe loop area to be more snug instead of loose.
