BirkenstockMayari Sandal,Graceful Antique Lace,EU Size 38 / Women's US Size 7-7.5

Love my birkys. They are so comfortable to spend all day.

Very comfortable to wear. I had purchased a different brand because they were less expensive. They appeared to be just like these but they hurt my feet and I could never wear them enough to break them in. I decided to try the Birkenstocks and within a day I noticed how comfortable they were. There was no comparison between these sandals and the previously purchased cheaper brand. It just goes to show the old adage “ you get what you pay for” is true when it comes to shoes. Thank you for a great product.

Nice color, not blindingly white. Very comfortable and the fit is perfect (they are a tiny bit longer than my 38 N Arizonas. ) In other shoes I wear 7.5 or 8 M. They have broken in quickly. I would recommend giving your feet and toes some time to adjust to the toe strap before wearing for an extended period of time. If there is a narrow version, it would probably be too narrow for me.

Very comfortable

I purchased these in the Graceful Antique Lace color. On my monitor, the color of the shoe looks like a shimmery creamy-white. In person, the shoe is a shimmery creamy-beige color. Not tan, not white... creamy beige. Another review mentioned this and I have to agree. It is still a neutral color and not brown, so it goes with everything. Just don't be surprised when you take them out of the box like I was! The toe post is great compared to the hard, plastic toe post of the Birkenstock Gizeh. I have to get used to the Gizeh toe post every season when I first pull them out of my closet. The Mayari toe post is soft and not noticeable at all, to me, as I don't have a problem with thong sandals in general (except for the plastic toe post of the Gizeh!) The comfort is very good for my right foot, but I am having difficulty with the left foot, in the ball of the foot, near the middle. This is my problem area and I am hoping as my foot molds to the foot bed, the uncomfortable feeling will disappear. Something else I hope will disappear is the sound of air whooshing from under my foot where it meets the sole of the shoe as I walk! I did a search on this problem and I'm not the only one who has had a problem with pockets of air gushing out while walking. This is also not the first pair of shoes this has happened to me with, but these are very expensive and I'm hoping the noise goes away as my foot molds to the foot bed. Otherwise, major disappointment on my end... Not a cool sound to have to walk around with if you know what I mean... :( I measure as an exact size 7 1/2 and usually prefer to wear a size 8 (especially in closed toe shoes). I ordered the EU 38 and it fit perfectly. This is the size I wear in Birkenstocks. I have purchased the size 39 before (my first pair) in a closed-toe clog and virtually SWAM in them. The Mayari is very cute on the foot and looks better, to me, than the regular Birkenstock slide (I think it's called the Arizona, but I don't have that one) that you see on everyone. The Gizeh Birkenstock is more sexy-looking, to me, and I prefer the look of it. It's a gorgeous shoe (the Gizeh), whereas the Mayari is cute. But for the hard, plastic toe post, the Gizeh would be perfect. That's why I thought I'd try the Mayari out and in that respect (toe post), the Mayari wins hands-down. Also, I believe the Mayari has good arch support, but not terribly high. I have Vionic (Tide with sequins) flip flops that I adore and the arches are VERY high. I wear Vionics to correct my sore feet and get them ready for whatever other shoes I want to wear. It's so hard to find good, supportive footwear and I know everyone's feet are different, but I hope this review helps you to make your decision! Mayari is a very nice shoe over-all- as long as the whooshing air sounds goes away... :)

The three straps keep them comfortably on your feet.

My second pair of birkenstocks, I love them so much. They're both stylish and very comfortable. I especially love my Mayari sandals, though I do recommend not wearing them too long when you first get them. The day after I got them I wore them to a music festival where I was standing for 6 hours straight and they became unbearingly uncomfortable and hurt my back and the insides of my feet to where I couldn't wear sandals for 3 days. Highly recommend walking around in them the first 2 weeks for about 1-2 hours a day, but not any longer. After they break into the shape of your foot they become soo comfortable! I love them and I'm going to keep buying them! Enjoy, I hope this helped!

true to size, durable, could not say enough about these
