I just got my pair of MAYARI BIRKO-FLOR in Licorice. They have been on my feet since they arrived 3 hours ago. I think I just might sleep in them. lol I'm thinking of getting another pair in antique white.

Does anyone have a pair of any in antique white, or onyx?


Congrats, I love Mayaris, definitely an underrated style. Looks a little more feminine IMHO.

Yay, I hope you love them! I've been wearing mine constantly.


Thank you, can't wait to get them! I've worn the silver a lot, so this will give me another sparkly option[emoji41]
 
I've never had them cut into the tops of my feet before. Although two pairs of the metallic Arizonas seem to be tighter on my left foot and that did feel like it would cut into the foot they are thick leather not soft suede. I might try to give them one last whirl from another store and see if I get better luck. If you aren't already wear socks when breaking them in.
 
the tops of my Arizonas are cutting my feet...is this normal for breaking them in??!

I'm sorry. I made the mistake of wearing my Arizonas to NYC last summer before I properly broke them in, and after about 20 minutes of walking they were cutting into both of my feet. We were walking across the Brooklyn Bridge so all I could do was stop at the first Duane Reade that I saw and buy some gauze and bandages. Luckily I was wearing a maxi dress so you couldn't really see my feet but it was really bad and I still have the scars. I had no problem with my Gizehs though.

oh no sorry that happened. that sounds awful. were you able to break them in properly?
 
I'm fairly new with Birkenstocks but can anybody tell me why the Monterey styles are so popular? TIA


I just got a pair from Nordy's. I ordered them because of the "black on black" look. Before seeing them on the Nordy's website, I had never heard of this model. Today was my first day in them and still breaking them in. I think the footbed is leather versus the usual suede liner, so no worries if summer t-storms pop up. I haven't worn Birks since middle school, but I think a new obsession has begun.
 
Wanted to share the gladiator style Birkenstocks I just got. These are a narrow and fit me better than the regular width Gizeh I'm wearing on the other foot. They're very comfortable! I found a video of them online...

I got a pair of Grenada's in Zinfandel over the weekend. I'm smitten by how comfortable these shoes are...wore them yesterday to my God son's birthday party and my friend was like I would never imagine you wearing those shoes. Oh well. I can't be chasing a 21 month old wearing heels.

Here are mine sparkling in the sunlight. :cool:

The silver ones have a shimmery effect too, almost like aurora borealis. Here are a couple of photos of the silver.

Soo cool !! :heart: They look fantastic on you
 
Normally most fashion goods are cheaper and are available in a larger variety in the US. But regarding Birkenstock I am really happy to live in Germany. :p

Today I bought a pair of black leather Arizonas in a local Birkenstock store. This is my fourth pair, I have another pair of Arizonas and two Gizehs.
Maybe I need to post a photo of my family when I have time. I am really enjoying looking at yours! Beautiful feet in beautiful shoes. :smile1:
