Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Mayari sandal is designed for adult women seeking a stylish and comfortable thong sandal for everyday wear. Its key benefit lies in the combination of an anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed for support and adjustable straps for a secure fit, offering both elegance and wearability.

FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Birkenstock sizing can differ from standard shoe sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot and consult the brand's sizing chart. If possible, try them on in person, paying attention to the length and width, and ensuring there's adequate space around the heel and toes.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the EVA sole offers some protection, the oiled leather upper and cork footbed are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. They can be worn in light rain, but it's best to avoid heavy downpours and wet conditions to protect the materials.
How do I clean the oiled leather?
Use a soft, dry cloth for general cleaning. For tougher marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for oiled leather. Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
Will the cork footbed get damaged if it gets wet?
The cork footbed can be damaged if it becomes saturated. Minor moisture can be wiped off, but prolonged soaking should be avoided. Allow the footbed to air dry completely if it becomes damp.
How long does the footbed take to break in?
The break-in period varies per individual but typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear. The footbed will gradually conform to the unique shape of your foot.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Mayari features two adjustable straps, which allows for some degree of width adjustment. However, Birkenstock also offers different width options (regular and narrow) for some models. Check the specific product details for width information.
What is the difference between the oiled leather and other leather types?
Oiled leather is treated with oils during the tanning process, giving it a slightly richer, more natural look and feel. It often requires specific care products to maintain its unique finish and prevent it from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the metal pin buckles on each strap to achieve a secure and comfortable fit.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of a specialized oiled leather conditioner to rehydrate the leather. Avoid excessive application.
Footbed feels uncomfortable initially
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they break in.
Sandal slides off when walking
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly to provide a snug fit. The toe loop should also help secure the foot.
