High-grade, long-lasting materials enhance the simplicity of the shoes' design and functionality. Thoughtful, eco-friendly production practices ensure minimal waste and environmental impact.
Love these was worried about straps not going around ankles as mine are large but they did. I see others complained about strap rubbing them, mine did at the ankle buckle but that was solved by crossing straps opposite way then the way I had them and that stooped the rub. Great arch support

Terribly uncomfortable
These are SO cute on. The footbed and toe straps are comfy. But the strap around the ankle.. because of the design, every time I take a step it feels like scissors on my ankle where the strap overlaps and creates a “v”. So bummed. So cute!!

Runs large
I am an 8.5 and a 38 usually works just fine for me. Received these and though they're PERFECTION they're just way too big. Should have ordered a 37, recommend sizing down. Everything is absolutely fab about these otherwise.

Great fit For high arches and d-width
This is the second pair of black Yara sandals. I love these and they fit great after a break-in period. I have a d-width forefoot (duck shaped feet) with extreme high arches, thin ankles and these are my absolute favorites along with my Myari leather sandals. I ordered a 39 reg but in Birkenstock shoes I always go to a 40. I measure 8-1/2 on the brannock measure.

Amazing!
Love these shoes! This is my second pair of these sandals, and I love them so so SO much!! I got stuck in a rainstorm in my first pair, and without thinking left them in my hot garage to dry out...don’t do that by the way...I could still wear them, but they weren’t the same. I was delighted to find a new pair at Nordstrom! I am a 9 or 9.5 in most shoes, but I wear a 39 in Birkenstocks. They are comfortable and totally adorable. I get compliments all of the time. Would highly recommend!

I love these shoes so much
I can wear these shoes with anything! I'm a big fan of Birkenstock. I have the gizah, mayari and the plastic ones for the beach. These are hands down my favorite. Perfect for sightseeing in Europe. I wore them all day with no blisters. The straps give them added ankle support that my others do not have. Size down a full size. I am normally a 7.5, 8 and I bought a 37 which is a 6.5, 7.

Not the Birkenstocks I love...returned
I expected more.. I own several pairs of Birkenstocks in different styles. These do not have the support and structure I've come to love. They didn't seems as supportive and secure as the miyara or gizah. The ankle strap is awkward and hard to get used to. I returned them although I really wanted to love them... Very stylish.

Worse sandals ever
I bought these sandals thinking that they would be great for my trip since I would be walking around a lot, I tested it first for a few hours and I felt like I was walking on a piece of wood. My feet were hurting so much! I don’t recommend these sandals at all.

Strappy Summer Shoe
Love the detail and ankle strap. Birkenstock’s should come in 1/2 sizes. The 37 is a little long the 36 a little short.

color doesn’t match
Loved these sandals the minute I saw them and didn’t hesitate in purchasing them. They are my first birks. I purchased the tobacco oil color which looks like the darker distressed brown. When they arrived they were not at the same color as the picture. They were a light brown with no distressed worn look. I plan on keep them as they are comfortable and hope they age with that more worn look like in the picture.

Great quality but...
I've wanted these for so long and ordered both the 38 and 39, since my shoe size is 8.5... unfortunately the 38 was too short and the 39 was just too big. The strap adjustments are helpful but not enough so for me. I think the ankle strap is really cute. Sad they didnt work!

Thick ankles do not fear..Yara is here.
Super cute, versatile and comfortable. I have thicker ankles and they fit me well! I’ve worn them several times already and received compliments.
