Mayari - Birko-Flor™ & Birkibuc™

Women's

Love the overall comfort of the my Birkenstock Mayari sandals, however, am extremely disappointed that after only 8 months of wear, the TOE STRAP broke loose on one shoe and is close to full breakage on the other shoe (even though the rest of the shoe is in good condition). Birkenstock personnel said they do not warranty the shoes but recommended www.ibirk.com for repairs. Have resorted to a local shoe repair shop to make the repairs on both shoes (>$50). Repairing just ONE SHOE through the ibirk website was quoted as $27 plus $11 shipping. Happy with the comfort but very, very disappointed with the quality.

I've had two pairs of the silver birko-flor, and both pairs have had one side of the loops over the big toe (where it connects to the footbed between the toes) break, which makes them unwearable. They are adorable, so I tried a second time, but won't buy a third pair. It seems that the Birko-flor fabric isn't strong enough to withstand the stress on such a small connection point. The rest of the sandals were still in excellent condition and have only been lightly worn. I have a third pair in black oiled leather and have not had the same issue, thankfully. The leather does stretch more than the Birko-flor, but holds up as they should. I highly recommend selecting leather, and not fabric if you want them to last through a season!

These are my absolute favorite pair of sandals. I wore them almost every day for two months travelling all over Europe! The sole really conforms to the shape of your foot, and they feel very supportive. I love this style, as it's a more feminine take on the original Arizona style. I chose this style over the Gizeh because I didn't like the idea of having the "thong" part of the sandal be made of plastic, and those seem more like flip-flops. The Golden-Brown Birko-Flor color has a pretty golden sheen to the natural brown, but the metallic glittery is not flashy or anything. I got a size 36 Narrow, which is half a size smaller than my regular shoe size (US Women's 6). I also chose the narrow size because the style of Birks are a bit wider and I do have slim feet, though I don't normally buy other shoes in a narrow width. Overall, I highly recommend this great, comfortable sandal for summer that's perfect for walking and travelling!

Love them! Got two pairs in 38 for my size 8 narrow feet. The stone color is regular and the mocha was narrow. The narrow seemed too small all around so I kept the regular. Love the stone color!

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.
