Customer Reviews Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle - Nubuck Leather

Super cute - love the look - so far they are a bit stiff so not as comfy as I like but Im hoping they break in!

So far so good. I was looking for a Birkenstock that was a little bit narrower, a little bit more feminine, and a little bit less bulky looking in general. I was concerned that this particular style might not stay on my foot as well because there's less overall coverage on top, but it feels already like that might not be the case once my foot truly molds to it. I remain cautiously optimistic.

Since they are in whole sizes I am not sure there is a "true fit", but these are super cute. The strap is just a bit uncomfortable but I think it will get worn in.

Love Madrids (though not as comfortable as my Gizehs), but this nubuck version is shorter than both my 39 shiny Madrids and my 39 oiled leather Gizehs.

They run large. I normally wear a U.S. 7.5 and the recommended 37 were too large.

Unfortunately these were a little short. I had to send them back for a bigger size.

I love this shoe because it’s comfortable and cute! Goes with everything I wear in the summer. The problem is that it runs large The footbed is too long for me. I am a Solid 7 in most sandals but I’m also leaning towards the wide side so I read the reviews and went with a 38. After wearing for a few days ( only inside ) I felt like the footbed was too wobbly. It’s too LONG for my foot. In additions, the width is too big and I need another whole….So I’m returning and getting the smaller size. Hoping that works! I’ll write a review for that one to compare

I love the style, but I had to size down (a whole size). It isn't super comfortable so I am wearing around the house with socks to break in.

Super cute, slim birk option! And who doesn't love the big buckle and pink suede? Unfortunately, the edges of the suede were way too rough and just with trying them on, the rough edges hurt my feet. So, sadly, they went back.

These are really cute but in order to make them fit I had to adjust the strap to the last hole to make them narrow enough. I don’t have narrow feet so if you do, these may be too wide.

I wish I could have kept these, they are such an easy style that can be dressed up or dressed down. Ultimately, the big buckle was uncomfortable and pushed into the top of my foot when I walked. Had to return.

I loved the way this style LOOKED!!! I really wanted t o keep them. But they felt a bit slippery and loose and I was afraid I would walk out of them. I have a small foot . I walk a lot. I decided to return these. I think they might have fit better had the insole not been the slicker smoother leather rather than the traditional sueded footbed that I have always had with Birkenstock. Too bad. I wanted to keep them. But I did not.

I really wanted to keep these. A Great Style and a "cool" look. BUT. The footbed is slippery on my rather small foot. (5 l/2). I am returning because I think my foot slips around too much while wearing. I wish they had the original Birkenstock sueded leather footbed. They have a better "grip". I think.

I have several pairs of Birkenstocks and these were just a smidge smaller than the 38s I normally wear. I really like the look of these and was so hoping they would be like my other Birks. But with the single strap on the top and trying them out around the house, I don't think they are as supportive as what I'm use to with my other Birks.

Great shoe, ESP on $ale! I love the pink color---been wearing in the house, since I do not want to get dirty.

Ordered the Madrid Big Buckle in orchid, beautiful color and great deal on sale; however, don't think they will be comfortable for me since my foot is thin feels like this style will hurt top of my foot, tried on in house only for a short while and had marks on top of foot. Always wear size 37 narrow and normal shoe size is a 7 med which is what I ordered. Really wanted to love these shoes, may work better for someone with a wider/fatter foot. Normally if a shoe is not comfortable right out of the box I will not be able to use them, hate wasting money.

I own a few pairs of the Arizona birkenstocks. I love the look of this Madrid sandal and it was true to size. However, I had an issue with the size of the buckle. Because the buckle is larger on this style, with each step, it dug into the top of my foot and was uncomfortable. Sadly, I had to return.

I love the look of these shoes. One big drawback is they are stiff and will probably need a lot of breaking in.

I loved this style and they looked beautiful on. I felt pressure on the top of my foot when walking and that may be due to the stiffer patent leather, but I was looking for a dressy look. Exchanging for regular black leather and I’ll give them a try. I am hopeful!

I loved these shoes, but ended up returning them because the buckle is heavy and puts pressure on the top of your foot making the shoe uncomfortable.

Didn't love the style in person.

Love these sandals, but they could use a little more cushion in the heel.

my normal size 7-7.5, looks a bit but fits perfectly

I hoped these worked out. I brought selected the narrow and it felt fine. My toes are boney and somewhat narrow, there isn't any support at the foot so my feet looked weird spread apart.

I wanted a different style of Birks, so I ordered these. They are so cute and a bit more streamlined. However, because I have a bunion (ick) it just rubbed my foot in the wrong place. Exchanged for the same gorgeous cornflower blue in the classic design. WHICH I LOVE!
