FAQs
How do I adjust the buckle?
The sandal features a metal pin buckle. Lift the pin slightly away from the strap, move it to the desired hole on the strap, and then press it back down to secure.
What is the best way to clean oiled nubuck leather?
Use a suede or nubuck brush for regular cleaning. For tougher dirt, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner. Avoid water saturation and always allow the leather to air dry.
Is the footbed suitable for people with flat feet?
The footbed is anatomically shaped to provide support, which can be beneficial for many foot types, including those with relatively flat feet. However, it is not a medical orthotic.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
It is not recommended to wear these sandals in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the oiled nubuck leather and the cork footbed.
How do I determine my correct size?
Birkenstock sizing typically runs wider than standard. Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible, paying attention to the fit of the heel and the arch support.
What is the purpose of the large buckle?
The large herringbone buckle is a design element that adds a fashion-forward statement to the otherwise minimalist sandal, serving as a visual focal point.
Are these sandals unisex?
While this specific model is listed under women's sizing and features a more feminine colorway, the Madrid style is generally considered unisex in its basic design. However, it's important to check the specific product listing for gender categorization.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the metal pin buckle on the strap to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit.
Leather appears dry or discolored.
Use a specialized nubuck or oiled leather conditioner to restore moisture and color. Test the product on an inconspicuous area first.
Footbed has dirt marks.
Gently wipe the footbed with a slightly damp cloth. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Strap buckle is difficult to adjust.
Ensure the pin is correctly aligned with the holes. If stiffness persists, a small amount of lubricant on the pin mechanism may help, used sparingly.

Care:
