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

A good casual sandal that for those with narrow feet who don't want to wear an old-lady shoe.

I'm a size 7 and that's what I ordered, but it was a whole size too big. I'll probably reorder in a smaller size. Great arch support.

I wanted to love these so bad! The fit was fine, and I love the style, but the sole was so stiff, it felt weird to walk. I felt like I had to drag my feet to keep the shoes on. I returned them and found some other Birks that worked for me.

Had to size up being they only come in narrow width. Wire around house and could feel the hard top of shoe hitting top of my foot after 5 minutes. Love Birkenstocks but not these

To get the shoe to stay on, the straps had to be tightened too much for my feet to endure. The straps left red marks on top of the feet towards the bunyon area. Also did not like the man-made material of the strap - too unyielding.

I really like the look of these but felt that they did not provide the same level of support as the naot alano so I decided to keep the Alana and return these.

Strap was too thin for my preference.

I really hoped these would be my next pair of easy-on easy-off shoes. They felt very comfortable and the style is simple and clean. However, they were quite slippery on smooth floors. So, no go.

In the past I ordered the next size down and they were better but not quite a good fit. So this time I ordered the size recommended. They are at least a full size too long and quite narrow. The arch support on the shorter ones fits my foot better and the toe ridge comes closer to fitting my toes but over time my heel scoots back and is uncomfortable. Just not for me. I wish I had returned them.

I liked the look of these sandals—a bit less clunky than most Birkenstocks. Because of the single strap, though, I didn’t think they would be as comfortable as those with more straps.

I love the style of these but the hole placement on the straps makes them difficult to wear. I have medium width feet. The straps are either too loose so the shoes flop around on my feet making it difficult to walk or too narrow which causes pain. I'm wearing them around the house until I can no longer stand the pain hoping the tightest strap position will stretch out so I can wear them around town.

I really wanted to like these shoes. I ordered these and when I receive them I realized they were narrow. I have a pretty average foot and they were just way too narrow for me. They’re going to be returned, I’m gonna try to find a style similar in the regular width.

it was big for my foot. I would need a half size smaller. It also was not very comfortable.

I have 3 pairs of various styles of Birkenstock sandals, and sooo wanted to love these! However, while the overall fit was good, they “flip-flopped” too much when walking because they only have the one (cute) strap at the top of the sandal. I used Zappos amazing customer service to exchange for another pair of the Granada sandals. The Granada suits my foot much better.

I really wanted to like these shoes. I’ve only worn them twice in over a year and both times I was sorry I did. They rub the top of my foot and the strap either feels too tight or too loose. Also, the width of the strap And the buckle dig in to my foot every time I take a step. I already have problems with nerve damage in my feet so these are just too painful. I wish I had worn them around my house more before wearing them out so I could have returned them, but I didn’t because I was excited. I’ve worn other styles of Birkenstock’s and never had an issue. Now they sit in my closet. Maybe I’ll try them again next summer.

I loved the sandal, but my usual size 37 was at least an inch too long. When I used the size chart on the inside flap of the carton I registered as a size 5, not my usual size 6.5. If they had fit, I would not have returned them .

I am usually a 7 1/2 and ordered the 38, which was too small. I ordered the 39 and I think it will work. I've got some major blisters trying to work these babies in...I am hoping the other reviews are accurate, in that it just takes a while and then they are pure comfort, fingers crossed.

It’s a great looking sandal but with one strap more or less over over my toes and ball of my foot I felt the shoe was just hanging off me. I own 3 other Birk styles so I am very familiar with the brand. The reviews are great for these sandals so perhaps it’s the shape of my foot as opposed to others. Zappos is so customer service oriented that while I’m very sorry they didn’t work for me I only have an tiny bit of guilt returning them.

IT fit well--got the narrow. But it does NOT look sylish at all-I really tried bc they're comfy and I love my Gizehs. But these--no.

These are not as supportive as my other Birks; the arch support is insufficient and the materials seems stiff and hurt my feet.

I wanted so badly to like these! But the arch and width fit perfect, it my toes hit the front and I could just tell that it would get raw or blister at the seam line on my toes.

Wanted to like these but the footbed is uncomfortably hard, nothing at all like the earlier Birkenstocks. Will be returning them.

Sandal was only offered in a Narrow width, but I ordered anyway based on some of the reviews. The strap is set at it's widest and still I feel a pinch that I don't want to assume will lessen with wear. I've made that mistake too often in the past. I wanted these as house shoes, but they'll be going back.

This Birk has a big "snap!" because the strap is so high on the foot. And it didn't feel super-secure, like I would slide out.

Love the look of this sandal. I am returning for a couple of reasons. Ultimately, the sandal just didn’t look good on my foot and it felt like I might have a problem with them slipping off me feet. Additionally, it appears that the sandals were a return and had been worn to some extent by whoever ordered them before me. I could see the imprint of toes on both sandals and on one of them, there was a stain on the footbed.
