Customer Reviews Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle High Shine

Just wasn’t comfortable and tricky to walk around in.

Very narrow even after adjusting the buckle.

I can't keep these on in either size! Will have to return both 40 and 41! I love 2 strap Birks!

These fit just like all my other Birkenstock purchases over the years. But I did return due to soles being smooth leather? My feet seemed to slip when I walked in them. I much prefer the suede/leather soles.

I really liked these in the picture of these sandals but in real life they are kinda cheap looking. Not like my other birks. I’ll still keep them as they are stylish and more comfy than other stylish/ trendy sandals but definitely not what I expected or expect from Birkenstock

Cute but not as comfortable as my other birkies.

I always wear a size 38 in Birkenstock, but this style in particular felt small. Ordered a 39 and they fit perfectly!

I liked the style, but it did not have the soft footbed, which was very disappointing. Also had a nasty mildew smell. I returned

The leather is hard and digs into my foot. I didn't keep the box or else I'd return them.

Loved the style and they looked really cute but they are too narrow for my feet.

Very cute sandals. The color is more lavender than pink. I usually wear a 6 1/2 and these size 37’s were too large. Even putting the buckle on the last hole they were too big. And the leather was very stiff and scratchy on the top of my foot. Sadly I had to return them.

The plastic footbed and buckle really disappointed me. I love the original corn footbed for comfort and metal buckles for quality. The price on these are way too high.

I normally wear a 41 regular in Birkenstock shoes; the 41 in the Madrid style is narrow and also felt too short. I returned for a 42, which fit better, but the leather on the strap was missing part of the bottom layer on both shoes. I was afraid they would wrinkle/wear funny over time, so I returned for another--hopefully perfect--replacement pair.

I love the look of these slides. Sadly, after a few days, my feet started to hurt. The footbed is very slippery, unlike my other Birkenstocks.

I love the look of this shoe and it is super comfortable. That being said, the suction (fart) noise that it makes when you walk made it a no go for me. if they will make this shoe with the standard line I would buy one.

I was disappointed with the quality. The footbed looked overly shaped. I am used to a more boxy toe area with this brand. It looked strange to me. Perhaps because it is not made in Germany and has become more trendy

The style is very cute unfortunately the little humps on the inside corners of the shoe irritated my feet

Fit TTS for me. Buckle rubbed against the top of my toes and shoes made a "farting" noise sometimes when I walked. My teenage sons thought these looked less "Birkenstock" than other styles, but they both agreed they were still ugly and since they were not comfortable for me, they were returned.

Perfect fit to size...beautiful shoe. How can it possibly be so uncomfortable around the buckle side.

I wanted to love these so much, I love the Madrid model but might prefer the older one without the big buckle,but why that big gold shiny buckle??? Aside from that buckle I love the look but not for me, I will stick with the original Madrid model with the smaller buckle.

I loved these so much. The pink color and footbed lining are just so beautiful and the big buckle is really stylish. Unfortunately, the buckle hurt SO much on the top of my foot. It dug in so hard when walking and adjusting the buckle hole just made it hurt worse. I read other reviews saying the big buckle dug into their feet too, but I thought I'd take a chance and give it a shot. So sad to have to send them back. They are pretty narrow, too, and as someone who generally wears a regular width in Birks, it would be good to know that the narrow IS quite narrow (and I don't have wide feet).

The leather was scuffed out of the box, and the foot bed was plastic, not cork.

These ran about a size small.

Loved the shoe but the big buckle hurt the top of my foot when I walked. I moved to a different hole but nothing helped. Really cute shoe. Too bad it did not work.

I love everything about this shoe except I have to break it in. It’s terribly uncomfortable initially but it requires breaking in and once that’s done, I’m sure I’ll differently.
