Customer Reviews Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle - Oiled Leather

I am normally a 6.5 and my feet are on the wide side. I wear 36 in birks and this is the size that worked for me in these. Although they are "narrow" they fit me fine. They are comfortable but of course require time to break in as birks typically do. They are definitely the cutest birks I have ever owned! I love the rose gold and the big buckle. They are very flattering and will go with a lot of different outfits. A bit pricey but worth it.

So cute and comfortable! Love the updated larger gold hardware, too!

Beautiful sandal. I’ve read several reviews that claim the inner sole is plastic. The sole is leather not plastic. The slightly big gold buckle adds a super cute touch. I wear a 7.5 or 8 medium depending on the shoe and the 38 fit perfectly.

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 love these - I like that they're a bit "dressier" than my other Birkenstocks and I can get away with wearing them to work. I was a little worried that they only come in a narrow width, but they fit my regular-width feet perfectly - they're just less wide than a typical Birkenstock. The only problem I'm having is that, after several wears (at least 5-6 at this point), the strap is turning the top of my foot black. I don't know if it's dye from the leather or what, but I'm hoping it stops soon.

I love these - they’re super comfortable, but dressy enough that I can wear them to work. The only thing is that I’ve worn them a few times and the color on the strap is running onto my skin and turning the tops of my feet black. I’m hoping it’ll stop after a few more wears...? I was initially nervous that these only came in “narrow,” but (for me), it seems like that means it fits more like a regular shoe vs. a super-wide classic Birkenstock.

I always take a 9 or 9-1/2. I ordered the size 39 (marked as a 8-8-1/2) and they fit perfectly. I also do not have a narrow foot, but the narrow fits perfectly as well. I made all these decisions based on the prior comments and there were all very true. The big buckle is what drew me to these. I am not a fan of the typical Birkenstocks, but these are very stylish. They are very comfortable from day 1. The leather footbed is actually very soft and feels good. This is my first pair of Birkenstocks, so I do not have a comparison to the usual cork footbed. Overall, I could not be more pleased and looking forward to a summer full of everyday wear.

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.

could not keep sandal on my feet..but love the look

Loved the look of this shoe, but it is not narrow. The fit is very wide and I kept sliding out of it. Please stop labeling Birkenstocks as narrow. They are not.

Love the look of these sandals, but the big beautiful buckle rubs against my feet. The footbed feels like plastic. Sadly I had to return.

The buckle was a lovely accent, but as other reviewers mentioned, it pressed into the top of my foot as I walked. So not that comfortable, but I am hoping that it will ease up (either get broken in or I get used to it).

Ordered the Madrid big buckle in Cognac size 37 my usual size in Birks wear 7 - 7 1/2 in other brands. These sandals are so cute and would look good with anything; wish I could wear them but after trying on in house on carpet my foot slides around too much like I would have to be very careful walking. My older feet are finicky and just need more support, the Gizeh works better for me. Unfortunately have to return.

Good quality

I took a chance on the big buckle knowing that the buckle might be uncomfortable and it was. The leather is gorgeous and the fit is just alright. I’m a size 7 med/narrow and this is my 2nd pair of Birks. Notched all the way is too tight and the one lesser is too loose. I’ve kept it on the looser setting but added underside padding on the strap so it fits better and the buckle doesn’t bother me as much. They’re really cute but I definitely won’t be doing a lot of walking in them.

I have a narrow foot and these were tight with little room in toe space. Same size in narrow regular Birks fits much better.

Sadly, these cute sandals don't work for me. Too big and the front of the shoe is cut on an angle so extremely that I look like my toes are going in the opposite direction.

Too stiff for me

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.

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.

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.

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.
