Customer Reviews Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle - Leather

The red color is a beautiful shoe that fit perfectly. I buy a size 37 in Birkenstock sandals and they fit my size 7 medium foot. I like the black footbed in contrast with the red. Unfortunately for me, the big buckle strap that holds the shoe on dug into my bunion, so I had to return them. It looked so pretty I had hoped to make it work, but since there is only one strap to hold the shoe there is a lot of pressure on that strap when taking a step. This is a much more stylish shoe than the usual Birkenstock sandals, and is very attractive on my foot.

Received many compliments on this shoe. Looks very stylish on. Comfortable.

This sandal is perfect, super comfortable. Please note that the footbed is NOT plastic, it is LEATHER. Reviewers should take the 30 seconds to read the Birkenstock website, or even the BOX before making false statements. There is no plastic on the sandal. Period.

I wanted a Birkenstock that was actually a bit more feminine than my Arizonas are. While I love my Arizonas, they aren't as "cute" with skirts and dresses as I'd like them to be. The Madrid Big Buckle is absolutely darling. No, really!! The first day I wore them I had several compliments and someone stopped me at the grocery store and asked where I got them. So, here's the scoop. I am normally a 9 and I wear a 39 in Birkenstocks. That is what I ordered and they fit perfectly. I know that people get confused with the "narrow" verbiage but let me tell you, these are not narrow. I have feet that are a bit wider than normal and I am three holes in on the buckle. I don't normally like black in a sandal however I am finding these go with everything and the silver buckle really stands out. I also like the fact that the footbed is leather and not nubuck lined. I think the leather is easier to clean and doesn't leave that "sweaty-wet footbed" look. The leather strap over the foot required some break-in time as it was stiff the first couple of wears. Now it fits my foot perfectly and I am so very pleased with these. I'd love to order in a fun color however they are all nubuck and I think I'll wait until next season and see if something in blue or pink comes out in leather. This could be my favorite purchase of the year, seriously!!

I have wanted these shoes since I first saw them while I was on vacation on someone else’s feet! I just broke down and bought them and I adore them! They are beautiful, comfortable, and super versatile. I would definitely buy them again

I just bought the Madrid Big Buckle sandals in the pink nubuck, with a pink suede footbed. Love the way they look and fit! The big buckle makes them a bit dressier than regular Birks. I don't have a narrow foot, but these seem to work just fine for me. I also have these sandals in white smooth leather, with a smooth leather footbed. The fit on those is also great, but the smooth leather footbed can get kind of slippery and noisy on a hot day.

Cute and comfy and I absolutely love the cognac color! finally got these after being out of stock for the longest. so pleased with the purchase. several of my friends have since orders a pair. I have several pair of Birks and this is by far my fave.

Beautiful shoe! Fit was perfect bit wide and I have naturally wide feet. Goes with every outfit. Adorable!

beautiful sandals!! only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the leather is a bit “stiff” and hurt the top of my feet a little. I am sure once I break them in, they’ll be just fine! i want another pair in another color already!!

Fits true to size. I wear an 8 so I got a 39. Great color & quality. Here quickly.

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.

The fit to the true size The material very soft The color exactly as the photo

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Had bought them in black and loved the style so bought them in this really cool color. So comfy and stylin at the same time!

best Bs ever. comfy and stylish. solid statement makers.

More like a 7 fit than a 6.5

I love these shoes! LOVE THEM. They might be my most comfortable Birkenstocks ever. They look a bit dressier so I have to discipline myself to not wear them too often!

Fit and style great. Materials usef ate very high quality

I saw these Birkenstocks and loved the style, so I ordered them. I like the big buckle and the single strap that goes across the top of my foot. These are so cute. I ordered my usual size 39, and the narrow did not seem much different than the regular that I usually get.

I have been eyeing these sandals for months wondering if any site would carry the regular width. I typically am a 11W. I rarely (if at all) have seen this style in a regular width. So, I finally ordered the narrow just to try it out especially since Zappos has such a great return policy. I was delighted to find out the narrow fits great and did t even seem to have that initial “need to break in” feeling that most birks have. Normally I wouldn’t spend this much on sandals, but they’re worth it.

Super cute style. Love the aesthetics of the black top and black sole. The big buckle was another key feature that loved. As far as comfort, I’m still getting used to them. I normally wear a 9, and the size 40 was just right. I have a normal width and the narrow was not an issue for me at all. I’d buy them again.

Fit pretty TTS, I typically wear between a 10 and an 11 and the 41 fit great. Standard birkenstock footbed that requires some breaking in, but amazing shoe and I LOVE the big buckle!

They fit perfectly. I wear a 7 and have a semi-wide foot and these fit me really well. The leather is a bit stiff but I know that it will soften over time with wear.

These take a little to break in but once you do they are great! I purchased the tortious shell buckle before these and found that the none leather was uncomfortable and squeaked. The leather ones do not. They are a super cute version of Birks!!!! Also, I have a super wide foot and the “narrow” fit.

I returned the suede ones for these, for light skin tone I think these look better, I also got the black and they are so cute.

These are my 2nd pair of Birkenstock’s and love this style!! Wear around the house since I’m working from home more. Very cute with jeans, sweats, etc...
