Customer Reviews Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle - Leather

Theses are molded shoes, therefore if you have Greek, Celtic or Roman shaped feet, they aren’t comfortable.

I actually got these to use as house slippers. I need something with support but my feet are narrow so 99% of slippers don't work. The problem with these is the footbed. It's black and the dye wears off on my feet. I really don't want to walk around with black dye on my feet. This is a problem.

I have 5 pairs of birkenstocks. I love them .This footbed is the same very comfortable, however the top leather is extremely stiff and uncomfortable, so much so I didnt feel I would even be able to break it in .I am returning

These are cute and I have been very torn about returning them. Ultimately, I decided to send them back. I am a big fan of the original Madrid and I like the look of the Big Buckle and the brown leather. I do not like the feel of the buckle and expect that the top of my foot will be sore from hitting the buckle repeatedly. It just hits my foot on a very tender spot. Additionally I do not like the leather footbed. When I walk, the shoe produces a sucking sound as my foot comes off the footbed. I am returning for a classic Madrid with the standard footbed.

They fit my feet but are not comfortable at all. I can wear them to ride to a restaurant and sit down., or anything that doesn't involve a lot of walking. Disappointed; they are not cheap.

I wanted to like these so much. I ordered them, walked around a bit in them and the big buckle cut into the top of my foot really bad. I am not sure if it would get better as they break in but I did not want to risk it. They are so cute! I love the color and the style, but the top buckle was very uncomfortable.

I have four pairs of the traditional Madrid and take them with me on vacation - it dresses up any outfit. However the big buckle is too big plus the weight of the buckle presses down on the top of my foot. I wish Zappos would carry these in Medium width instead of only narrow and I hope Birkenstock brings back the more classic Madrid.

I really wanted to like these but the strap felt sharp so I returned. The purple orchid color was very pretty though. I also liked the shiny gold buckle.

While the shoe fit comfortably on my footbed, they literally did not stay strapped on to my foot with buckle goin across my toes.

After loving the original Madrid, I tried these. NOT comfortable. The footbed is different, harder, and the strap and buckle are too wide and stiff, which hurts the top of my foot. I'm exchanging for the original Madrid.

The inside sole is very slippery so every time I took a step my foot slipped too far forward.

I didn’t realize the footbed was plastic not cork. It was very difficult to buckle, the holes were much smaller than the buckle.

buckle hurts top of foot and the slide is hard to keep on your feet when you walk

The buckle hits in a weird and very uncomfortable place on my foot. The size was fine, the way it hit the top of my foot was not. Had to return.

These sandals ended up being very painful and bruised my foot on the top.

I wore them in the house for maybe 10 minutes and already getting blister. The buckle area is too stiff and uncomforable.

Shoes are great but the big buckle HURTS! Can you make fun colors with the small regular buckle please?

I was very excited when I initially ordered these. I've owned a pair of Birkenstocks in the past and loved them. These were the most uncomfortable sandals I've ever worn. The sandal was causing my toes to bleed. How the material rubbed against my feet was unbearable. Unfortunately, I had to return.

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.
