Birkenstock Womens Mayari Synthetic Sandals

These are my first pair of Birk's. I purchased them after my work colleague kept raving about her pair, which she's had for six years. They're an initial investment, but worth it! I've been wearing them for a month straight now and refuse to take them off. It took me about three weeks to break them in and they are still getting better every time I wear them. I initially took to wearing them right out of the shower, with my feet slightly damp, which seemed to really help soften the footbed and conform it to my foot.The issue is really finding the right size. I spent a lot of time researching the right fit to ensure that I wouldn't be stuck with Birk's that didn't fit quite right. I'm a women's US size 7 - 7.5 (depending on the shoe, but lean closer to a 7 typically). My width is slightly on the larger size, but I'm almost always good with a M width shoe. After reading reviews and consulting the sizing guide on the Birk website, I purchase a pair in size 38. As soon as I got them out of the box, I could see that these were too big. I then downsized to a 37. After trying them on I could tell that they were close, but my heel didn't quite reach the back of the footbed when my full weight was on it like it was supposed to. Next, I purchased a size 36 pair, which is listed as an equivalent 5 - 5.5 on Birkenstock's website. I would have never thought I'd have to go that small. When they arrived I compared them with my 37's and could instantly tell that this was the right fit. They felt better on my feet as I walked. Not too small, but cradled my foot nicely. I'm so happy I took the time to find the right size!

I normally wear a size 6 and although everyone said I would need a 37, the 36 fit me much better. This style was nice as it was wider than the Florida style that I had previously purchased and returned. Fits my foot nice and contrary to what my sister might think, I don't think it is ugly at all ;) The oiled leather is a much nicer option than the fake leather so spring for it if you have the extra money. Overall I am very happy with them and can't stop wearing them although I think they have given me some foot pain!!??

These Birkies are awfully nice looking, and not too crunchy like some are. Having had lots of Birkenstock sandals in the past, I fully expect that it'll take a few weeks to break them in. I bought the brown oiled leather version, not the Birkiflor synthetic, and I love how they look, but the front strap with the buckle really digs into my foot and irritates me painfully. Problem solved with some adhesive moleskin padding (CVS brand) attached along the front strap and under the buckle. Hopefully the moleskin stays put for a while but for now, seems to solve the issue. As far as sizing, I find these run large. I take a 6 1/2 shoe, medium width, and they suggest a 37, but that was much too big. The 36M fits perfectly.

I LOVE these shoes... the color is amazing they match with everything. Definitely wear the buckles a bit looser rather than tighter, and once your foot molds with these, they feel amazing. I took me 2 days to break into these and they are all I wore all summer long. I'll definitely buy another pair! Shipping was fast and product is amazing!

I have always preferred Birk's to any other sandal; but, this style Birk is (in my humble opinion) the best.Both very well made and comfortable; it is much more feminine styling than the Arizona (the archetype Birk).Here's the added bonus: it really supports the big toe from doing that bunion causing shift that some of us unfortunate folks deal with.

These sandals were just as I expected. Took me back to my college years and my first pair of berks. Wore them for my daughters’ college campus tours and they were very comfortable.

Not a very comfortable style, hard to break in and very difficult to get comfortable in these. Decided to return them.

These are so comfortable (once you break them in) and beautiful. I read the other reviews & bout a size 36. I wear a 6 1/2 in most shows and that size fits fine.
