I have worn Birkenstocks for years now. I do not wear or buy any other sandal. They might seem pricey but once you put them on your feet you will never want to take them off! They last for years! I walk in mine 5 miles everyday during the spring, summer and fall, winter I must wear sneakers in PA. Don't need sneakers as they have so much more support for your feet than the high price sneakers do. The quality is great; you can't go wrong with Birkenstock. I own 14 pairs, and they are just like new and I wear them everyday. Have most styles they come in. Money well spent on these. Will not buy anything else.

On this site looking for a new pair. Mine have worn out and have a hole in the heel. I will miss them and will have to get a new pair. They have molded to my feet and after a year they feel wonderful. They are the only shoes I can wear for long periods of time with comfort.

Love these slip ons. After a hot summer in Austin wearing flip flops every day, my feet could not handle anything more between my toes. These are heaven...and the grayish, bluish, silveryish color goes with jeans, black pants, or white. The color is kind of metallic without being over the top. Thanks Zappos!

Comfy sandals and great arch support. I never had a flip flop in Birkenstock and they are actually my favorite sandal right now.

These are awesome, but they are a full size bigger than posted. I am a 6½ and I am swimming in the 37. I am ordering a 36 now. The onyx color is gorgeous. And they are not too flip-floppy. It does not smack too much when I walk and is very comfortable.

I am very happy with my Birkenstock Madrid slip-on shoes. They are easy to put on. I have bad knees I can't lift my left knee. They slide on easily and are comfortable to wear.

I’ve been living life in flip flops for the past couple of months and my knees and back are paying the price. I got this new pair of Birks to get a bit more arch support, but still keep the style and simplicity of my flip flops. The color (which I thought was a weathered brown in the picture) is actually a somewhat sparkly golden hue. I probably would have gone with another color, but they’re comfy and do the job: happy feet, knees, back.

These are my first pair of Birks ever. I actually haven't worn them for any length of time, just around the house for a few minutes to make sure I wanted to keep them. They are indeed very comfortable. (I have nearly-flat feet and they get achy quickly if I wear things with little arch support.) Be aware, though, that like all Birks they are a bit clunky looking when viewed from above. The newer print ads that show them only from the side, worn with a skirt, make them look cuter and less clunky than they really are. I think I will wear them only with pants or shorts, not skirts.

These sandals are absolutely the BEST...cute comfortable, can be worn with almost anything, and what's not to like about red patent leather. I just love mine and wear them almost all the time. I do think that European shoes run a little wider as well as a little bigger than the shoes I usually buy so you might think about ordering a size smaller than usual as well as a narrow rather than a medium. With Zappos incredible service the shoes that you order generally arrive the next business day and exchanges are a breeze. Zappos is without a doubt my favorite web-site.

For me, the Birkenstock Madrid slip-ons weren't very comfortable. The bottoms are really hard and hurt my feet after wearing them for a day. I know they eventually form to your feet, but I couldn't get that far because they were so uncomfortable.

I have hobbit feet, so I was nervous to try Birkenstocks because I feel like they run narrow. I wear a 7 1/2 and bought an 8 regular. The fit is perfect. They are incredibly comfortable - I didn't even have to break them in to wear them everywhere without discomfort. My friends make fun of my hippy shoes, but if comfortable, hipster-looking flats make me wrong I don't want to be right.

These Birks are exactly what they look like on the website, or actually better looking in person. They fit nicely and are so comfortable and makes your feet look nice at the same time. I am very happy with them and the colors are amazing!

I have another pair of Birkenstocks, so buying this pair of sandals from them was a no brainer. They are good. Light on the feet and functional. I am a happy camper!

I can't say how much I love this shoe. I have plantar fasciitis and Birkenstocks were recommended by my podiatrist. Not wanting to invest a huge amount of money I bought this show in the patent brown color. I then bought another in the gold. I liked the gold band even better as it had more give. I have a narrow foot and the narrow was perfect for me. I plan on investing more in Birkenstocks since I am on my feet a great deal for work. Wonderful shoe.

The Madrid slip on was a perfect fit for me - not too narrow or wide. Reasonable price and love the black patent and enjoyed free shipping. And would buy from Zappos again.

I love these Birks. I bought them as an alternative to flip-flops, for a cute, summer casual sandal. They've taken a little longer to break in than my previous Birks have, but they're still super comfy. The pewter color is great! It goes with everything, but is still a unique color.

Have worn Birks for many years, these are a very comfortable sandal, they do not move around on your foot; however, they do run a size larger though. I had to exchange them for a smaller size, which was no problem for Zappos. I have been shopping with them for more years than I care to remember and I have never had a problem with them ever. More companies should take a page from their book.

Excellent shoes!! I bought them because a friend of mine had them and I thought they looked nice so I got them in red patent. I didn\'t like them that much, I returned them, having to experience the EXCELLENT, USER-FRIENDLY, return policy of zappos and I got the golden-brown ones. They are extremely comfortable, it feels like they\'re massaging my feet!! And I am not a sandals person, I always considered them un-elegant but these ones look pretty! Got them half size smaller than my usual size and they fit wonderfully.

Great shoe. Very comfortable, but will take breaking in. Wear for a few hours a day, instead of all day when you first get them.

I originally ordered this in a 38 and they were way too big. I then ordered the 37 narrow and they fit great. I usually wear a 7.5 M shoe. They are pretty cute for Birkenstocks.

These sandals are very comfy. Definitely a good choice for anyone with foot issues. So many sandals offer no support to tired feet. These are very supportive. Much more stylish than the old school traditional Birkenstock also. I found them to run large. I wear a 9, but bought the size 39 which were supposed to fit 8-8 1/2.
