Birkenstock mayari - worth it?

Are they worth the price tag? I love in cheaper footbed sandals all summer and by the end of it, they're wrecked. Is it worth investing?

Don't know about that specific Birkenstock but I've had both the real deal a few times and cheap knock offs.
Real Birks lasted 10 years plus.
Knock offs, longest is probably 3 years.
So maybe worth it!

I love mine. I wear them day in and day out in summer. They're gorgeous.

I love that style. They last me 4 years so divide the price by 4 - is it worth that cost each year?

Yep. I've been wearing Mayaris for years. They last for ages. In fact, I think Birkenstock do a repair/resoling service if you do manage to wear them out.
I wouldn't bother with knock offs. Better off trying to get a pair of the real thing in a sale or on Vinted.

My Birkenstocks only tend to last a couple of years at a time, but I do a huge amount of walking in them. They are incredibly comfortable once they’ve been broken in a bit.

I have had dupes from Sainsbury's, Tesco, Next... All have lasted a summer but been worn to death, super comfy though and love them!

It doesn't take much to convince me. I've ordered them 🤣 thanks!

I have 2 pairs of Mayaris, I love them. One pair must be 10 years old, still ok, but a bit tired looking. The second pair are about 5 years old and still going strong. I want a new pair but the colours I’ve seen this year aren’t great.

yes, they’re initially expensive, but they last well, so in my opinion are worth it. I live in them in the summer

Schuh have some nice colours, bright yellow, and a lovely blue colour. I went for stone as it's more my 'vibe', and will go with everything.
