BirkenstockWomen's Mayari Sandals

These are a must for troubled feet. These were recommended by my pain mgt doctor and I totally appreciate this recommendation. I purchased the sandal that keeps the large toe aside from the second toe, as I developed a hammer toe due to bunions. What a difference in how my feet feel now. I tried sandals that claimed to be similar to the birkenstoc, but the ridge that should be just behind the small toes was way off and were not adjustable.

Always a great sandal

Love these! Everything I had hoped for!

These are amazing sandals. The first time around I ignored the other reviews and just followed the size chart, which was big mistake and the sandals were way too big (surprise, surprise). I usually wear a US women's size 9 in the regular width so I went with size 40M, which I then exchanged for a size 39M. Luckily it was really easy (and free!) to return these with amazon! After returning for a smaller size, I absolutely love them. The colors, the materials, and the style make this one gorgeous and extremely comfortable pair of sandals. These shoes are also very versatile as you can wear them for anything really and they look and feel great. The style even makes them a great sandal for dressier occasions. They are now my go to spring/summer/fall shoes and I have my eye on another pair in the mocha color.I have a thing for comfortable, properly fitting, and supportive shoes. I also believe that shoes can be overly supportive and can cause the muscles in your feet to weaken and work improperly, which leads to all sorts of problems. Which is why I like rotate through and wear different types of shoes (disclaimer: I also just love quality shoes), in addition to spending a decent amount of time barefoot. Doing this not only makes the muscles in my feet adapt and work hard, keeping them strong, but it helps my shoes last a lot longer. With these shoes though, I just want to wear them all day, every day, that's how comfortable they are. Right out of the box they felt great, no adjustment period necessary, and have they become more comfortable every time I wear them. Everyone is different though and if they don't feel great right away I would encourage you not to give up, but to make sure they are the right size and that straps are as tight as they can (reasonably) be. If uncomfortable, wearing them for small time periods at first can help as it allows your feet to adjust. As your feet adjust and the shoe molds to your foot you may just find that these are like nirvana in sandal form!

My first pair of Birkenstocks! I don't want to take them off. I've tried on other people's (who were my shoe size) but since they mold to your foot, there's nothing like having your own pair to wear in. I loved the mayari style so I was really happy to find them for such a great price, and in the color I wanted! The only thing I was worried about was pain and rubbing around the big toe, where the two straps cross. I don't think it's going to be a problem though. It's the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn! Both the soles and straps are incredibly soft and the sole support feels perfect. I would go bare foot every day if I could, and so I really think this is the next best thing. I feel sad coming home at night cause I have to take them off and put on my fuzzy house slippers! I got the size 39, I typically wear a 9,but can sometimes get away with an 8.5. theres about 1 cm of extra space in the footbed,so I wonder if a 38 would be better next time, however there's no way I'd return these for fit - I'm just so happy with them. ...And a little worried I'm going to develop a very expensive Birkenstock habit!As a side note on the seller/shipper, while the shoes were in perfect condition, the box was in tatters, probably the reason they were selling a bit cheaper? Anyway, it didn't come across as very professional but there was no problem with the actual product.

The Shoes were great and as described.. I usually wear sizd 8. The size was too big so I had to return them.

I read many of the reviews and even YouTube and visited Birkenstock's website in order to educate myself more on the quality, designs and why the shoe is so popular. Many of the reviews on Amazon made me doubt I would receive a "real Birkenstock" shoe. The reason I chose to purchase on Amazon regardless of the reviews was the fact I could receive my pair the next day and that the price was the same on the shoes actual website. The seller on here was Bayou Birkenstock and they had great reviews on google so I said whatev and purchased.When they arrived today I was holding my breath because so many said the box should be white and not blue and I indeed received a blue box. They said it should be yellow labeling on the footbed not black and mine were black. I went online to research and turns out Germany has revamped from yellow and blue labeling to black. They also upgraded the box design to blue. Birkenstock Europe has updated their website and if you go on there you will see some shoes in yellow labeling and others in black. As long as they say made in Germany and have the R circled around it and all the normal Birkenstock labeling your shoe should be legit. I hope this helps others. I hope there are no fakes on Amazon. Im not posting pics because there are plenty of them on here. Just google and do your research.

Love my Birkens, the color is perfect, they fit beautifully-snug at first but loosened just enough. They are very sturdy and durable with great arch support. They are so comfortable I wear them just about daily. Are they worth the price- maybe, that remains to be seen based on the longevity. For not the answer is yes.
