Customer Reviews Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle - Oiled Leather

Could not love these more. Comfort of Birkenstocks, but elevated style.

I wish normal width was available and then it’ll be a perfect fit. The fit is ok but on occasion I have toe spillage over the top if I walk too fast.

I love the look of these Birkenstocks! They fit much like the Arizonas I have--I needed a narrow width and also had to go down a size. Because there is only one strap, I didn't want them too loose. Really cute and versatile style!

Very stylish sandals, but takes some break-in time. They look cute with shorts, jeans, or dresses. Worth the discomfort in the beginning.

I love these - they look like a more stylish version of Birks with the wider buckle in gold. I sprayed them with leather protect but before I could there was a small dot on the suede that won't come out, even with a suede brush. But it adds to the character. I'm really pleased with these. If I tighten the bulk my toes don't go in as far and my heel isn't as far away from end of the shoe, but they are harder to get on. This way, I can also wear thin socks on early morning or night dog potty trips.

I have a narrow foot and these fit perfectly. I am a solid 8 and I ordered a 38. They are extremely comfortable. I plan on wearing them on a vacation that includes touring on foot.

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

Super cute sandal but was too wide for my foot that my foot slid forward when walking HOWEVER this sandal fit my daughter perfectly as she has a wider foot. If I could of buckled tighter it would have fit. I’m a true 7 1/2 and the 38 fit.

I received a defective pair. The center buckle post was missing on the left sandal. REALLY?!?!

these are like flip flops, not real slip-ons- but very nice looking!

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 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.

Loved the overall look. I wear a 39 reliably but sadly it is just too wide even on the lowest buckle opening. Difficult to walk without a thick sock. Loved the ice blue color too, a great neutral.

I wanted to love this shoe, have been seeking a non-thong type supportive sandal but they are always too wide. I had high hopes for this as I got it in the narrow width. Unfortunately, even at the smallest setting, the shoe was too loose. I considered adding another hole to the strap but the foot bed was just still a bit too wide.

I knew this purchase would be a gamble because the shoes are marked as "narrow", but other reviewers (with average feet) said it wasn't an issue, so I gave them a try. Sadly, they were too narrow for me—it doesn't help that I'm flat-footed. I could get them on but I knew my arch wasn't sitting where it should and they would blister if I wore them around. The box was actually very helpful, too - it has a printed guide that lets you measure your foot and see your correct width. It confirmed that my foot was too wide for these. Also, really not a fan of the "Rose gold" - it's too baby pink for my taste. I'll have to stick to Birkenstock's regular width and a more neutral color.

Buckle rubbed the top of my foot. It was hard to keep the shoes on when walking. They look lovely, but are uncomfortable. Will go back to an older style.

This sandal looks nice but doesn't feel nice on. It's hard to walk in and keep on while walking. The most questioning part about this order was the generic box the shoes were shipped vs. the traditional Birkenstock packaging with paperwork.

The top of my foot is very high and these dug into the top of my foot when walking. Wouldn’t have been able to walk 10 feet. I’ll need to return. The style is very cute and I wish it would have worked with my foot.

Uncomfortable and lacking quality control. I have these shoes in another color and love them, but unfortunately, the buckles were sewn totally differently on each shoe on this pair. One buckle was about a centimeter lower than the other, causing the shoes to be totally uncomfortable on my right foot. I have worn Birkenstocks for years and was very surprised at the lack of quality control on these. I’ll be sending them back immediately.

I'm so sad these did not work! I love the style but there was no way I could wear them bc the buckle was so painful on the top of my foot. Maybe they would be better after some breaking in, but I couldn't wear them long enough to get there... I have 4 other birks and am sad I couldn't add these to my rotation.

Very cute style, but the buckle is so large that it digs into the top of your foot with ever step. I can't imagine walking more than 10 feet in these shoes.

toes curled over top of shoe

I love the look of these, but the buckle hits in a strange spot on the top of the foot when I walk, had to rerun
