The Mayari pairs a toe loop with an adjustable instep strap for a sleek, secure feel that stays put mile after mile.
At the heart of every Birkenstock is the original cork-latex footbed — shaped so precisely it’s often described as feeling like standing in sand. A deep heel cup holds your heel in its natural position, the arch is genuinely contoured for support, and the footbed edge is drawn up high at the toes to guide a natural rolling stride. A soft suede liner sits on top, and the cork molds closer to the shape of your foot the more you wear it — so the fit only gets better with time.

Are Birkenstock sandals good for your feet?
Yes — the contoured cork footbed supports your arch and cradles your heel, giving a sandal nearly as much support as a closed shoe, which is why people who are on their feet all day (runners, nurses, teachers) reach for them. The footbed molds to you over the first few wears, so it becomes uniquely yours. Come see us at Tortoise & Hare Sports and we’ll help you find your size and the right footbed.
