Customer Reviews Birkenstock Madrid - Birko-Flor™ & Birkibuc™

It turns out that I'm a "tweener" when it comes to the holes for the buckle in the strap. One hole was too tight and the next too loose to safely walk in these. Too bad, because they are really cute! I got the copper ones, and I wish I could keep them, but I will have to try again.

Felt too large all over.

Nice looking sandal but narrow means narrow. It was the only width offered so I tried it. Had to return it.

These are cute slides with a casual look. Like typical Birkenstock fashion, they fit true to size & have a comfortable foot bed. I have a slightly narrower foot and that was not a hindrance. For me, I wasn't going to be able to walk quickly (which I typically do) do to the one-strap style. They are definitely on the casual side as well, which is to be expected with a Birkenstock.

I have 2 pairs of Birkenstock sandals, both in 8-8.5 and this style is definitely smaller in every way. No extra room at all like the other 2. Foot fits perfectly inside, but not that comfy when you walk. I am keeping them in case the 9 would be too big, and I think with wear they will mold nicely to my foot.

It felt uncomfortable and the buckle was too small for the rest of the shoe.

Too narrow and had to return.

I liked the looks of these—less clunky than most Birkenstocks. They felt a little short on me, even though I ordered my usual size 39.

I had hoped to be able to wear Birkenstocks but they do not fit my foot well.

The slip-on are great but I couldn't see myself paying so much money for "Man Made Material". I've other leather Birkenstock slip-ons for which I paid half the price. I was originally looking for the Siena and came across this pair which I found really cute and completely forgot to review it thoroughly before buying it.

These are so cute but they are too short in length. My toes hit the ridge at the top of the shoe. I'm a size 8.5m and ordered size 39. When I tried to order a size 40 I noticed they only come in narrow. There's no option for medium width so maybe that's the problem. I"m so disappointed that I can't keep these.

These are cute and comfortable but I'm exchanging them for a different style (Gizeh).

I like the style of this Birkenstock. At this stage of plantar fasciitis...it was not very comfortable. Perhaps, they will be at a later date...when the inflammation settles down. This brand was suggested by the Orthopedic PA

I bought these on recommendation from a friend who wears hers everywhere. I have been desperately looking for comfortable sandals with good arch support. These shoes are made well and have great arch support, but I am having trouble with the general fit. When I purchased these they only came in narrow. So I had a feeling I may have a little trouble with the fit. I ended up buying the 38, I normally wear a 7.5. The bed of the shoe fits my foot well, but my feet don't fit in the strap. It is either so tight that it actually cut the top of my foot (first wear, so maybe it needs to be worn in), or so loose that they'll fling off when I'm walking. These are also my first pair of Birkenstocks and I'm unfamiliar with the lift in the bed of the shoe around the sides. It feels uncomfortable when my toes may reach the sides or go over the sides (when they're slipping around). I'm a little disappointed they're not a perfect fit like many have described, but I'm hopeful that they're get more comfortable with some wear.

First pair of Birkenstock’s...& for sure won’t be my last. Now my go to slip on errand running casual shoe.

I wear a 39/40 in European shoes (including winter styles of Birkenstock narrow). The bumps on the instep were too far up on the size 39. I think the 40 would probably be too large for me.

I think these fit - they aren't yet broken in. I am normally a size 39/40 and I ordered the 39. Time will tell. For Birkenstocks they are stylish.

Loved these,I just wanted a different color that wasn't in stock so I returned them. Was surprised by the support given the single strap.

I love these! I do have a slightly wide foot, and although this is narrow, it isn’t too narrow. My foot is within the side walls of the shoe. I am a little torn though, when walking it makes a slight flip-flop sound. But over all these are super cute, and doesn’t have that bulky Birkenstock feel.

Maybe I just have a narrow foot, but I felt these "narrow" Birkenstocks to be wide and made my feet look clunky. I have now tried several Birks and just can't get used the the clunky look. These are better than most but the problem is the single band causes me to have to clench my toes to prevent them slipping off. I am not supposed to wear flip flops for that very reason so these are simply not going to work for me. They also don't feel very comfortable to me because of the little supports they have beneath the toe and foot joint. Those bumps just don't match up with where my joints are and are consequently uncomfortable. Other than that, the rest of the foot bed seems comfortable. I'm returning these.

the style is so cute! and I needed a sandal that didn't "rub" at the side of my foot (odd plantar disorder). Alas, regretfully I had to send back. The leather was very rough and caused a blister within a day under the buckle. I might try to reorder to see if it was a fluke on just this sandal (it was only on the left foot). Cute style, and comfy typical Birk footbed. thanks Zappos for the awesome return policy to be able to seek and find the right shoe.

The fit and size were good, even though they were narrow and I always need medium width. As the salesperson told me, that's how Birkenstocks are. The footbed was great. I returned them, however, because I didn't think they'd stay on my feet as well as the ones I kept, because they had only one strap over the foot.

These look exactly how I hoped. I usually wear a 7 1/2 so I ordered the 7-7 1/2. They just barely fit -- my toes are right up against the front. But I figured the next size up would be huge so I decided to make it work. These are cute and not sloppy looking. A step up from flip flops.

It’s one of the more stylish Birkenstocks but I wouldn’t say it’s the most comfortable. Still breaking them in, so hopefully they will fit better.
