Love the Mayari. Sadly for $125 Zappos sent me a pair that had toe marks in them (someone wore them,) no tags, no original box. No thank you.

These were too big for me. When I tried to use the “return “ link, it lead to no where.

I no longer love Birkenstock. I have worn these shoes a little over a week and already they are coming apart. Seriously Birkenstock WTF??? My FIRST pair of Birks lasted 20 YEARS these didn't even last 20 DAYS. They are obviously no longer made with integrity. I bought my last pair and they lasted 1 YEAR before falling apart. There is no reason a pair of shoe that cost $100 dollars should begin to come apart in 1 week. The footbed is still great but the craftsmanship is completely gone. Birkenstock you sold your soul to the devil.

I’ve had these just over a year, but have hardly worn them because they gave me such bad blisters. I put them on last night and the toe strap pulled straight out of the sole. I’d expect more from such an expensive sandal that has been worn for less than 5 days total.

They look and feel great, unfortunately the cork sole split after less than one summer's worth of use. Birkenstock doesn't have a warranty to fix or replace so they are a very expensive one season shoe for me. I recommend not to buy.

The inside left sandal rubber sole was not glued down all the way. I had read reviews before I ordered these and others had commented on structural problems they had. I decided not to keep these nor am I going to exchange them for another pair. I I think it is best if I simply find a different brand.

I love birkenstocks but I received the color tobacco brown instead of tobacco leather -- which is a tan color. I love tan but rarely have anything brown. Super disappointed.

I have had these sandals for two years and they just broke. I am really disappointed because the other pair of Birkenstocks I have have lasted me since 2003. It's also frustrating since these are fairly expensive sandals and I was expecting them to last much longer.

I don't even know how to describe what's wrong with these sandals because I'm not really sure. There's a hump right under the big toe that's painful and I'm not sure why it's there. Seems like a design flaw. Obviously, I just don't get it when it comes to these beloved sandals...pretty much the most uncomfortable thing I've ever tried on.

Birkenstocks hurt! Whose feet are these molded for? The foot of the bed just behind the bal of the foot has a hump that makes you feel like you're walking on big landscaping stones. I wanted to like these, but now I can't return it.

I really wanted to like these, but unfortunately, they were a fail. I wanted a pair of Birks, but thought I would try something different than the classic Arizona style. I thought the Mayari was the answer. I had to return the first pair because they were a bit too long (I am an 8-8.5 and the 38 was a much better fit). The first time I wore them, I got a blister on the side of my second toe on my left foot. I changed the toe straps (having the strap come over instead of under) based on another review and that seemed to help with the blister issue. The more annoying aspect is that my right foot makes what can only be described as a farting noise when I walk. It feels as though the air gets trapped under my arch and when I step down "Pthbpthb". Sadly, I won't be wearing these anymore and essentially wasted a hundred bucks.

Material was described as "blue oiled leather" - it was plastic. No way could you call this material "leather". I sent them back.

What happened to Birkenstock’s? Wore these to work today and they were so uncomfortable. Read reviews saying it had a soft footbed and these were like cement. My Feet swelled as well. I’m sure they can’t be returned after wearing them, so these are going in my pile of “what was I thinking” shoes. I’m also a solid 8.5 shoe size and these were much larger than I thought they would be.

fit fine in the footbed when I adjusted the straps but my heels moved around when I tried to walk. Maybe they were too wide, but my heels kept landing on the ridges of the shoe -very painful.

Another companies quality going down the drain. I am a solid 8.5 in most shows so I ordered the 39s. Just huge! They look very cheap like a knock off from Walmart. Going to exchange for a smaller and completely different style.

I ordered these for my daughter, and for the first time, I was stunned by Birkenstocks quality control...big glue smear on the front that was quite obvious, and then a glue blob sticking out from one of the straps. Returning to Zappos and hoping the QC was better on the 2nd pair I've ordered.

The shoes seemed nice and fit well, but they do not last long at all. After less than a year the cork started to crack where the straps connect at the front on the sides of the foot and the foot bed has lost its cushion. These were worn for a few months last year, and then again for spring and summer this year which was about 6 months of total wear a couple times a week. During this summer they started to crack more and more. For the price I don't think these shoes should only last about 6 months. This was my first pair of Birkenstocks and will be my last as their quality is quite poor. I reached out to Birkenstock to inquire about the quality issue and to see if there was a warranty, but they said they did not offer one and gave me the option of contacting Zappos or to bring them into one of their stores to see if they could fix them. I wasn't pleased with this answer - the manufacturer should stand behind their product and there is no Birkenstock store in the state I live in anyhow.

These are the most uncomfortable sandals. There is no way these are real Birkenstock, not like any of their shoes I have ever worn. Very very disappointed- sending back

I love these shoes. No back or foot pain after being on my feet all day every day. Sadly after 3 months the cork near the inside toe strap cracked. Zappos was great and replaced them. But the same thing happened to a friend in the same place. Hoping the replacement pair lasts longer.

I ordered this and was so excited to try on but one is definitely a narrow and one is regular! The right shoe is about a half inch bigger all the way around. So disappointed, will be returning.

I was excited to get these new Birkenstocks as a change from my Arizona pair. Horrible disappointment that I cannot even get this pair on my right foot. They arrive using the very last hole on the pair. I had an injury to my right foot and a high instep on top of that. I will get some puffiness on the right foot but it is not a monster foot by any means. Please start to make the cute pairs with a longer strap so someone can add a hole please. The leather felt very stiff, however if the strap was a bit longer I would have kept these and attempted to break them in. They are already packaged up to be shipped out tomorrow.

Super sad!!! I bought these & the 2nd time I wore them the small strap between the toes completely snapped! Luckily Zappos had me return them & replaced them.
I’ve worn them many times & the strap broke AGAIN!!!
I will NOT buy this style again.
