Birkenstock Mayari Birko-Flor Sandals (Open Box)

I'm at that age now where I need a bit more arch support in my shoes so I went looking for a good summer sandal that I could wear daily. Imagine my surprise to discover that Birkenstocks, the it-shoes of my high school days, had made a comeback. Really happy with this style, whose look I like better than the traditional Birks, but also because the toe piece helps them stay on your feet without your toes having to do extra work with every step. I thought I was ordering a leather style but the mocha color is a faux leather. It's held up well so I don't mind, but if you care about that just make sure you choose a color that comes in leather. There are leather options if you pay more careful attention than I did. You may need to break these in before they're comfortable to wear. I wore them a little too long on my first try and it was really painful. My fault, I didn't follow the breaking-in instructions from Birkenstock. After that I wrote them a couple of hours a day for about a week, gradually increasing the time and got my feet used to them. In a week or less I was wearing them pretty much non-stop. They're great for my feet and I have much less foot pain while wearing them. I've also noticed they've helped with my overpronation, even when I'm wearing other shoes. Highly recommend!
