Germans have big feet.
My goodness these are huge!
I'm usually at 39 but I had to get a 37 for this and it fit perfectly. Very light and your foot conforms to the little bumps and grooves at the bottom. Apparently it tones your calf - I shall see! They should have the red ones available!!

Birkenstock Madrid (Birko-Flor)
This shoe appears to run at least two sizes larger than your normal shoe size. I usually wear size 38 and it was two sizes too large. I also ordered a size 37 and it was at least one size too large. I had to send back both pair. Otherwise, they appear to be a comfortable shoe. Zappos service is absolutely the best!!!

Happiness for my feet -
I was an athlete and now suffer from plantar fasciitis...bad, bad, heel pain. I put these on just around the house all day while I chase my kids. I have been sick of always putting on my gym shoes. These are really awesome. I thought the leather would be tough, it's not. It's so soft. My feet are so happy and I am less crabby because I am in less pain. Also, this was my first time shopping with Zappos and it is the BEST service I have ever had shopping on-line period. MAKE SURE if you are a normal (B) width, you order the Birkenstock narrow. I made that mistake and customer service cleared that up immediately.

The hot shoe in Europe -
I first saw this shoe in Paris, this past summer. All the women of style were wearing them in a variety of colors. It's a definite must have for the upcoming spring. So buy them now...because once they sell out you won't find them anywhere.

all I know is that I am a size 7 and I wear a size 37 in Birkenstocks, these are no exception. I ignored the advice and I am happy I did. I love Birkenstocks and I love Zappos for making them so available and affordable. Two fabulous companies working together for the good of shoes/fashion/comfort! The silver ones are amazing, they go with everything. Despite being a flip flop, these are the same as every other pair of Birkenstocks I have ever owned- supportive and comfortable.

Comfy but the uppers stretch big time.
I bought the Madrid to wear on vacation and didn't even need to break them in - so comfortable. However, the Birko-Flor stretched out, and now the footbed is a little long. I'm usually wear an 8 and bought a 38, so the shoe was actually 2 sizes bigger than marked. Just make sure to check the footbed against your foot w/the strap undone...

What can I say?-
I generally have shoes and other easy-to-tote-home merchandise sent to my job. Got these shoes along with two others. Tried them on. Couldn't take them off. Haven't had Birks in a while. Can't believe that happened. Great shoe.

Really cute shoe! They just arrived and I have been wearing them around the house, feel like I am walking on air. I'm a true size 8.5 and ordered the 39 in this shoe...I wonder if a 38 might have been better but think but then my heel would be hanging off the back so this size seems just about right. Cute color!

Fantastic!
Been a "Birki" for years, own many pairs, different styles and colors. After back surgery last year, I rarely ever wear anything else. These are already one of my favorites. Love the simple, easy, comfortable style. All of mine are size 38 narrow and fit perfectly. Cannot even feel that I have on these shoes and the silver can be dressy or casual. Birkenstock has had the comfort factor forever, and now the color selections and more feminine styles are unbeatable! Add the ease and overnight free delivery of Zappos right to my door and it's a "no brainer"!! THANKS.

Cutest Birks ever -
These are probably the perfect shoe. These look cute with dresses as well as pants. I have them in black, white, and silver. I am always a 36 in Birks, and these are no different. I did, however, go with the narrow width, which I hadn't done before. They are comfy and cute. If you haven't ever worn the Birko-Flor before, just be warned that your foot gets a little sweatier under the strap than under real leather.

I love my Birkenstocks!
I just purchased the Madrid in Silver Birko-Flor and I am absolutely in love with them. I already own 2 pairs of Ibiza and one pair of Gizeh. These silver Madrids are very European looking and have great style. I'm not big on flashy colors, but the silver is not too bright and can be worn with anything. My regular shoe size is 7-7.5, however I ordered the 37N expecting these shoes would run large, and they fit perfectly. The customer service at Zappos is wonderful. I ordered the shoes yesterday at 1:30 p.m. and they were waiting at my door today when I got home from work.

I really love the Madrids. Im pregnant right now and it is hard to find shoes that fit. I'm a 38 and I was going to go for a bigger size, but I'm glad I got the 38s. It is true to size and gives you extra room front and back. This shoe is the cutest out of all the sandals, too!

Fit is true to size -
After reading the reviews here, I was convinced that I should order the 36 instead of 37 which I normally wear in Birkenstocks. Im not sure why I did that. Birkenstocks are SUPPOSED to have a little room at the toe and heel to allow for rocking back and forth during walking.
As it is now, my toes butt up against and hang over the edge of the shoe, making it a LOT less comfortable than the Gizehs I own in size 37. Sigh. I wish I hadn't been swayed by all these reviews, and I just want to let the people familiar considering these shoes that the best is to order your size, not one down...

Great Birkenstock Sandal!
This Madrid style Birkenstock sandal has excellent arch support, is very stylish, and the color is great. One may worry that it may not stay on the foot, but it does conform great to the foot and stays in place because of the great Birkenstock supports. The adjustable buckle is wonderful.

The Silver Ones Rock!
The Madrids are so much more feminine and stylish than the Arizonas or Bostons, both of which I've worn in the past. The silver is a great color. It's very neutral and not too shiny so it looks great with most anything. Highly recommended!

Perfect little sandal -
I love this simple, sexy sandal! I bought the silver color last summer, and people kept complimenting them and saying they couldn't believe they were Birkenstocks -- not "hippy" looking. I just received the black pair, and I love them even more than the silver because I ordered a size down, and they fit perfectly. I'm a 6.5-7, and I got the 37 Regular last year, which was fine, but definitely roomy. After breaking them in, though, it feels like I'm not wearing any shoes at all, so I guess that's not a bad thing. This time I did the 36 Narrow, and they fit really well. They look a little sleeker, too, without the bulky width of the larger size.
Bottom line: my favorite sandal EVER.

I have this style in many colors. They are very, very comfortable. I would rather have these on than be barefoot. They are just about all I wear all summer.

I took the advice from previous reviews and ordered one size smaller and narrow width. They fit perfect! These have a circa 70's look to them, which I adore. Match almost everything. The comfort is unmatched. Get some!

Updated Birkie -
This is classic Birkenstock updated in silver for the season. The material is soft and pliable so that is does not need to be broken in to be comfortable. I only wish they were made in black patent, as well.

I bought these shoes in Scotland, so I got to try them on, and for the first couple of days, they hurt like crazy. But then by the time I got home, they were soo comfy. Now I wear them all the time.

 |  | My order arrived Friday and everything was topnotch! Packaging was excellent, and shipment was very prompt. Shoes were exactly as indicated in the profile photos. Color, quality, description, all right on the mark. I am very favorably impressed with your operation from start to finish, and the first class customer service. Friendly, efficient, courteous, and professional. I will definitely be shopping with you in the future. You've convinced me that it is not only possible to purchase shoes online (something I never thought I'd do), but perhaps even preferable! Thanks again for providing diverse options of quality shoes at affordable prices. Sincerely, Karen K. |  | ~ Karen K., August 09 2008
