Customer Reviews Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle - Nubuck Leather

I ordered these shoes and they were back ordered on another site. Zappos delivered them the next day and they are perfect. Just as I expect from a Birkenstock. And so cute

Love these shoes. Great color, great fit. I was concerned that these might be too narrow as I sometimes have trouble with sneakers being too narrow in the toe box. However, these shoes fit very well and were not as narrow as I was anticipating them to possibly be.

I love everything about this shoe!!

These cute big buckle Madrid’s.... LOVE... I normally wear an 8- 81/2 in regular sandals but I size down in Birks and these do not disappoint!

I have very wide feet due to bunions and was concerned these would be too narrow. I also ordered a 38 along with my usual 39, per review recommendations of sizing down. The size 39 still fit perfectly, and I had to tighten them all the way to the last hole on the strap! I love my other gizeh soft footbed Birks, and was concerned about the comfort of these. Although not exactly the same as soft footbed, these are still comfortable and stylish. Hope this helps you!

A friend of mine has this same shoe and told me to order a full size smaller than i normally wear, which was perfect. It was labeled as narrow on the site, but felt normal width on my foot. I know it will take a little while to mold to my foot, but i am aware how comfortable Birks are!

I purchased this style of Birkenstock in silver last year. I‘lol definitely get another pair in another color this summer. I typically wear a 37, but in this style I need a 36. I have tried the 37 and it was way too loose to wear, but the 36 was perfect. Even though it’s “narrow” in width, I would say it’s normal/average. I own two other styles of Birkenstock’s and both are a 37. I recommend sizing down.

These are my favorite summer shoes ever. Not sure why they are marked narrow. They are not.

It’s a little wide but I plan on punching another hole in the leather.

I LOVE these Birkenstocks! I have the arizonas as well, but have been choosing these daily. The bottom is coated and it is seriously so, so comfortable! Get compliments on them all the time. The leather was stiff and squeaky for about a week, but that went away with wear. Wish I had purchased in Cognac as well before they went out of stock.

I absolutely love the style of this Birk, the sizing is still large I am a 7.5 n the 37 fit perfectly. The buckle is large and very stylish. It is shiny gold which is ok. Would have preferred if it was distressed. Overall it was a great purchase.

I am a size 8 and the 8/8.5 was a full size too large

Stylish but not as comfy as the Arizona style.

These shoes are so cute! I wish they came in regular width and not narrow.

Beautiful shoes, but not as comfortable as other styles. May need to be worn in a little. The large buckle can rub.

I have a medium foot, and so many reviews said it ran narrow, so I wasn't sure if it would be too narrow. It was exactly the opposite. I buckled the strap to the last hole, but as I started to walk in the house, they almost flew off my feet - even gripping with my toes, and I got the 6-6.5 size (I wear a 6.5). They were too big for me. Super cute though and I loved the oiled bronze color. The arch support felt great standing still. Sadly, I had to return.

These are so good-looking! Love the big buckle in a soft brushed gold. BUT, they didn't feel secure enough on my foot. I wear Gizeh's and Arizona's non-stop but these flip-flopped too much for me. Hoping for a style next spring with the big buckle in brushed gold against black nubuck.

Very cute shoes! The footbed wasn’t the “normal” Birkenstock cork. It almost seemed like plastic. They seemed to run about a half size smaller than my other birks. The top of the shoe dug uncomfortably into the top of my foot with each step. Unfortunately, these were a return for me.

These are cute but I’m returning them. The leather is too stiff for me. The buckles bother my feet and I have a bunion on my right foot so it really doesn’t fit the toe bed correctly. They are super cute and the foot bed felt high quality but they just aren’t working for me.

I was debating since last year if these were worth the price. They are certainly cute. Better looking than the usual 2 straps style. I got the old fashion style 2 years ago in softbed narrow. Wish they would start to make cute styles in “regular” and with the softbed. Although I thought it would take a long time to break them in, I must admit it happened in about 2 days. The problem is, the top strap is still digging into my foot. It’s somewhat thick and the big buckle doesn’t help with flexibility. The positive note is, my footbed is nubuck. I think only a couple of colors are nubuck, the one specifically called nubuck. The others are plastic!

Like the shoe overall. But had to return for a smaller size. I usually wear a 7.5 so I ordered the 38s but they were much too big, my foot was sliding around on them.

These only came in narrow and they didn’t work for me the style was beautiful though . I am worried about one strap and not feeling too secure on my foot , but I’m going to try to order them in a medium wide from the birk site . Wish Zappos had it available:(

A more dressed up Birkenstock, very cute but not nearly as comfy as my Arizonas. They are definitely narrower than the standard narrow width. The sole is much harder and the strap is a bit stiff so it rubs a little but they seem to be breaking in as I wear them more.

I know that Birkenstocks take a while to break in but these gave me such bad blisters the first time that I haven’t been able to wear any sandals for 2 weeks and counting. Maybe by next summer these will be my go to sandals, until then they are house shoes only with socks!
