Customer Reviews Birkenstock Mayari - Nubuck Leather

I have to admit I was expecting more from this shoe, especially when it came to comfort. It actually makes my feet ache a little when I wear them - I'm hoping this will improve with wear. Also, not sure if it's the shoe or my foot (although I don't have this problem with other shoes), but when I walk they "fart", or at least make a similar sort of noise.

Ordered these sandals due to a recommendation from a family member. I should have followed the suggestions of others and ordered a size smaller as these run big. I also have little feet so the wide straps look bulky on me. They are comfortable, and I can tell even with the wrong size. I don't think I will order these again because they just look to big and clunky for me. I also would like something a little more youthful. The color just didn't do anything for me. I will be returning these and will try a Keen sandal instead.

Golden Brown is much golden than brown. It's almost bronze. Fit was a bit larger than expected too.

I loved these shoes online, and I love Birkenstocks in general, but unfortunately due to the strap arrangement on these shoes, the size seemed a little bigger than the 5 pairs of Birks I have already. The color was also lighter than pictured and kind of pearlescent. I was hoping for a darker, matte pink to match my clothes. I can see these being great for others though.

I also bought this in a narrow size even though I normally am a medium shoe size. This worked out well. Very comfortable and slightly more feminine than the regular Birkenstock.

This shoe has a relatively more graceful look than normal Birkenstocks. Other reviews mentioned that it ran large, so I ordered a size smaller and it fit perfectly. Comes in narrow as well. It\'s fairly comfortable, though I\'m breaking it in slowly.

Love my Birkenstock shoes, though they weren't exactly what I expected. I failed to realize that they'd be patent leather, which isn't really a problem, just not what I had planned on. I wear a lot of skirts in the summer, and these are very versatile for work or play! Extremely comfy, though my foot feels fat (my problem/issue, not the shoes).

Toe strap was too tight

Do not care for the color. Want to exchange for gray.

These Birkenstocks are a cute style but unfortunately, after only one season of wear, have broken and are now unwearable. We have purchased many pairs of Birks over the years but will not purchase this style again. I believe the quality and design of this particular shoe is not up to the usual Birkenstock standards, which is unfortunate, considering the price and typical longevity of this brand.

made my foot/leg tilt towards arch. For my foot the arch needs to be higher to tilt my foot to the outside so my knees/legs are in alignment. Otherwise it is an excellent high quality sandal.

I am so sad that these did not work for me. I have several pairs of the same style from 5 years ago or so and they fit great. These were too narrow and cut into the sides of my foot. Very uncomfortable. I have extra wide feet but the earlier versions had more give and would conform fairly quickly. I could not wear these so sent them back.

Really wish all the great colors in Mayari came in a leather option. The synthetic materials are not as comfortable, as they never really soften and form to the foot. Would especially love to see the metallic silver and the antique lace colors in leather!

This is my third pair in 4 years and I feel the quality has gotten increasingly worse. The arch support isn’t as great as it used to be, the soles don’t feel as sturdy as my first pair and just overall it feels like a different shoe.

These were so stiff and did not seem like they would soften. I don't do well with that thick of leather between toes.

I just received these sandals today along with another pair of Birkenstocks. Both pair were in a generic kraft box. Every pair of Birkenstocks I’ve ordered before ( and I have many) came in a Birkenstock box. The toe straps on one pair aren’t set quite the same as a pair I already own. I am a little concerned that these are perhaps counterfeits and am contemplating returning them and ordering directly from Birkenstock.

It’s been a long time since I wore Birkenstocks, and in my 60s, my arches have fallen somewhat. I found a good solution in wearing heel lifts that raise my heels just a quarter inch. They are a little long in the foot bed but comfortable so I decided not to return them. I wear a 9 1/2 and the 40 was just a little long. Materials and style are all great.

Be aware that only the Birkflor material stays clean. I love these shoes but I ordered a pair of the pigskin/nubuck in pecan and they were soiled within 3 months of wearing. The company was not helpful in any way. My advice is to stay away from any light colored materials except for Birkflor. They continue to look good for years.

The sizing has changed. I am typically a size 37 (6.5 us) but it was way to big on the length and the 36 is just a bit too small on the width. I’m bummed because my old ones ripped after almost daily wear for 3+ years and haven’t been able to get a replacement that works.

I have narrow feet and these were too narrow of a fit.

I’ve had (and loved) this style of Birkenstocks before, but this pair I’ve just ordered has a much more narrow heel base, which won’t work for me. Sadly, there’s no wider option, so I have to return them.

This is my second pair of Mayari, but this pair is giving me a callous on the bottom of my left foot after wearing them for a couple of weeks. There is a ridge that runs under the ball of the foot that is causing severe discomfort so I cannot wear the sandals. I would like to return these sandals since I cannot wear them.

The Mayari is my very 1st Birkenstock ever. I ordered my typical size shoe of a 5 womens (36 european) and it was way too big. So I ordered one size down of a 35. They fit. I'm still breaking them in, but they feel OK. I still don't feel that Birks are terribly attractive, but I bought them for comfort as all of coworkers were telling me to. I'm not 100% sure they're all that comfy for the price, but we'll see. I'm only 1.5 weeks in and I haven't experienced the broken toe strap yet and I hope that I don't.

I usually love Birks, already have the Arizona and Gizeh, have ordered the Mayari twice from Zappos; first pair came without a box or packing paper so exchanged for identical pair which came today in a generic box but the left shoe toe loop was looser or larger than the right shoe and did not feel comfortable or secure, afraid it would detach with wear. Also ordered the same style in genuine leather from another retailer which the left shoe toe loop was a larger loop than right shoe and when examining it the loop was not even glued in properly and came right out just after trying on the shoes. Quality control is missing somehow especially on this style, have not had any issues with the Arizona or Gizeh, the Arizona being the most comfortable which are leather with soft footbed. So sorry to return these, really liked the look/style. Still give Zappos a star rating for their customer service, great people! Still searching for another good Birk style as my other two pair are several years old.

Felt smaller than regular Birkenstocks.
