FAQs

Does 'Narrow Fit' mean the shoe is tight?

No, Birkenstock's narrow fit is designed to accommodate most foot widths and is comparable to a standard width in many other footwear brands.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is recommended to avoid heavy rain or puddles, as excessive water exposure can damage the cork and latex footbed.

Are these sandals waterproof?

The upper is synthetic and water-resistant, but the footbed is made of natural materials that should be kept dry.

Where are these manufactured?

All authentic Birkenstock Madrid sandals are made in Germany.

How do I know if they have finished breaking in?

You will notice the footbed has darkened slightly and permanently taken the impression of your foot, providing a custom-fit feel.

Can I adjust the strap size?

Yes, the single strap features an adjustable metal pin buckle that allows you to change the fit to match your foot height and width.

Troubleshooting

The footbed feels too hard or uncomfortable initially

This is normal. Wear the sandals for short periods (1-2 hours) over the first week to allow the cork to warm up and mold to your foot shape.

The sandals are slipping off during walking

Adjust the metal pin buckle one hole tighter to ensure the Birko-Flor strap keeps the shoe flush against your instep.

The sole is showing signs of wear

The EVA sole is replaceable. Consult a professional cobbler if you notice significant tread loss after heavy, long-term use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent arch support for long-term comfort
  • High-quality materials sourced and made in Germany
  • Lightweight construction perfect for walking
  • Adjustable strap ensures a secure, personalized fit
  • Durable and moisture-resistant outsole

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for the footbed to soften
  • The narrow fit may feel snug for those with very wide feet
  • Cork material should be kept away from excessive water

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you first receive your sandals, use the pin buckle to adjust the strap to your preferred tightness—the sandal should be snug enough to hold securely while walking but not so tight that it pinches.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the Birko-Flor upper with a damp cloth.
  • Footbed: You can brush the suede lining gently to remove dust.
  • Water Exposure: Avoid submerging the sandals in water, as the natural cork footbed can degrade if saturated.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the cork from drying out.
