FAQs

What is Birko-Flor material?

Birko-Flor is a durable, skin-friendly synthetic material used by Birkenstock. It has a felt-like backing and a smooth, glossy surface, making it easy to clean and resistant to wear.

How do I know my Birkenstock size?

Birkenstock sizes are different from standard shoe sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot length and consult the Birkenstock size chart. The Mayari thong sandals tend to run true to size for many wearers.

Can I wear these sandals in the rain?

While the Birko-Flor upper can tolerate light moisture, prolonged exposure to water is not recommended. The cork footbed can be damaged by excessive water. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them.

How long does the cork footbed last?

With proper care, the cork footbed can last for several years. It's designed to provide support and comfort throughout its lifespan. Eventually, the footbed may wear down and can potentially be replaced by a cobbler.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The Mayari model features an adjustable buckle system which allows for some customization in fit. However, Birkenstock generally offers different widths in some models. This specific model might be best suited for medium to slightly wide feet, depending on individual fit preferences.

What is the sole height of the Mayari sandal?

The sole height of the Birkenstock Mayari sandal is approximately 3.5 CM.

Troubleshooting

Sandals feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the rose gold tone double buckles on each strap for a customized fit. Ensure the straps are snug but not constricting.

Birko-Flor upper appears dull or dirty.

Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse carefully with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry.

Cork footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is normal as the cork will gradually conform to the shape of your foot with wear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration.

Sandals make squeaking noises.

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the footbed and the sole. Ensure the sandals are completely dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if the noise persists.
