Customer Reviews Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle - Oiled Leather

Supossed to be narrow but was not at all

toe grip is smaller, harder to stay on my foot, and hard to walk in. Returned to a different style.

Unfortunately the Birkenstocks were too short, looked great and probably true too size. I wear 12N. Just could not accommodate me.

I ordered the size that I normally wear— women’s Size 8. This shoe was HUGE! It is as so big, my foot slid all the way through it. It basically fit my husband who is not a small man. I double checked the size and, yes, it states that it was my size. I ordered these after I had seen them on another woman. They looked great on her. I wish I had ask d her what size she ordered.

Watch the Narrow - I normally take the smaller of the 2 sizes I wear in Shoes for Birkenstock- I have been consistently the same size over many many pairs - I have to buckle on the smallest buckle so I thought the narrow would be great . I also have a narrow foot to begin with but the tree are the issue in this style. I can’t go bigger as the sole will hit my arch wrong . Size up if you can or take a pass

I wanted to love these but the buckle left BIG bruises on the tops of my feet! Both Feet. Unfortunately, I am returning.

They fit but were slippery on the sole bed, and the gold buckle in person is really cheap looking so returned them.

I liked the look. But the footbed is hard and doesn't fit comfortably. These would not be fun to walk around in all day.

They look great but not comfortable. The underside of the buckle dug into the top of my foot and even though I ordered a narrow they were very wide had to return them and just bought the Madrid‘s instead which I’ve had before

Much too big

Ordered black, but received two different black shoes. One was suede and other was smooth leather. Returned still waiting for refund.

Do not buy any black sole sandals from Birkenstock they turn gray & crack then look horrible & it only took 4 months for that to happen. Birkenstock actually told me to get them repaired but every piece on the sandal would of needed replacing. Quality is a 1 ?? I’d give it a 0 ?? if I could.

too big. the size recommended was a 39 but I always wear a size 8 and it was too big. I wore them once so I can’t return them so I bought a 38 from Birkenstock and they fit perfect! now I have to figure out what to do with the size 39 ?

look amazing but the big buckle dug into my skin after 5 mins and cut right into me - I still have cuts a week later so had to send back

The floor bed of these Birks is extremely hard, and has zero cushioning. Surprising for Birks, but I think they wanted to make the sandal lighter, so there's a tradeoff in the loss of the normal Birk comfort. They're actually so painful to walk in that it's not worth suffering it to enjoy the cute style. These are going back.

Has anyone else had the problem of these smelling like cat pee?!?

They look great... but are not comforable. I do not think they are narrow at all. I have slightly wide feet and was fine. They do run long, though. The sole seems synthetic and that your feet will sweat. I love how they look but the quality and comfort is not worth it.

Way to big, much larger than other Birkenstocks that I have purchased over the years.

I have another pair of Birks from a few years ago and wanted this pair to be my house shoes. I just didn't like anything about them. The glue was visible on the edges and the buckle looked cheap. I don't know if Birkenstock is changing their manufacturing process but these just did not feel the same. I cant say anything bad about the footbed but other than that I wouldn't reccomend.

Unfortunately I had to return them, they were too big! They were cute though.

The buckle dug into the top of my foot making it impossible to wear. It is unfortunately since these are not bulky compared to other Birks

I loved this shoe but the leather was too stiff and sadly I had to return them.

These are SO cute; I really wish I loved them. But even though they are crazy expensive the buckle part is made of stiff, scratchy material that is not comfortable at all!. And the holes for the buckle were so small I had to use incredible force just to get it buckled. As others have mentioned the overall fit is strange. I have wide feet but had to use 2nd to last hole to get them to stay on. Not sure what's going on at Birckenstock: this shoe felt like a $20 shoe from Walmart instead of a shoe that's over $100! They really need to get back to quality materials and quality workmanship on all of their styles.

I've just about worn out the sole on my pair of Birkenstock Madrids with the regular-sized buckle, so I thought these might be my new favorite sandals. The style is cute, but the strap is WAY too loose, even when I tighten it all the way. Quality-wise, these seem the same as the other Birkenstocks I own, but the sizing is off.

The bucket was extremely painful against the top of my foot. because it's so big, it digs into the foot when I take a step. Its fine if I don't have to walk.
