FAQs
Are Birkenstock Mayari sandals true to size?
Birkenstock sandals are generally known for their generous fit. It is recommended to consult Birkenstock's sizing chart and measure your foot length to find the best fit. Many users find they fit true to size, but if you are between sizes, sizing down is often suggested.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
While the Birko-Flor upper and EVA sole are water-resistant, the natural cork footbed is not designed for prolonged immersion in water. It can be damaged if soaked. They are suitable for casual, dry wear and light moisture exposure, but not for swimming.
How long does the break-in period for Birkenstock Mayari typically last?
The break-in period can vary from person to person, but it usually takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of intermittent wear for the cork footbed to fully conform to your foot.
Are these sandals suitable for people with wide feet?
The Mayari style offers medium width and features adjustable buckles, which can help accommodate slightly wider feet. However, for very wide feet, other Birkenstock models with specific wide-fit options might be more suitable.
What is the main difference between Birko-Flor and leather uppers on Birkenstocks?
Birko-Flor is a durable, synthetic material that is easy to clean and maintain. Leather uppers are made from natural leather, which can offer a softer feel and develop a unique patina over time, but may require more specific care.
How do I clean the rose gold hardware?
The rose gold tone hardware can be cleaned gently with a soft, dry cloth. For any stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the sole height of the Mayari sandals?
The sole height of the Birkenstock Mayari sandals is approximately 3.5 CM.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too stiff initially.
This is normal as the cork footbed needs a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The cork will soften and mold to your foot shape.
Buckles are difficult to adjust.
Ensure the buckle prongs are properly aligned with the holes in the straps. If the straps are very new, they might be stiff. Gently flex the straps around the buckle area.
White upper shows dirt easily.
Clean the Birko-Flor upper regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, use a specialized synthetic cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Footbed feels uneven after cleaning.
Ensure the footbed is completely dry and has not been exposed to excessive moisture or heat. The cork may temporarily feel different after cleaning; continue to wear them as it should return to its molded shape.

Care Instructions:
- Upper: Wipe the Birko-Flor upper with a slightly damp cloth to clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material.
- Footbed: The natural cork footbed can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat. To maintain the footbed's shape and support, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can cause the cork to become brittle.
- Sole: The EVA sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
