FAQs

How do I adjust the strap on the Madrid Big Buckle?

The strap has a large metal pin buckle. Unbuckle it, slide the strap through the buckle to your desired length, and then re-fasten the pin through one of the holes in the strap. Ensure it is snug but comfortable.

Is the cork footbed waterproof?

No, the cork-latex footbed is not waterproof. It should be kept as dry as possible. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the cork.

How long does it take to break in Birkenstock Madrid sandals?

Most users find Birkenstocks comfortable from the start, but the cork footbed will gradually mold to the unique contours of your foot over a few days to a week of intermittent wear.

Can I wear these sandals in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear nubuck leather sandals in the rain. Both the leather upper and the cork footbed can be damaged by excessive moisture. The EVA sole offers some water resistance, but the other materials do not.

What is the difference between the Madrid and Madrid Big Buckle?

The primary difference is the buckle. The Madrid Big Buckle features a significantly larger, more prominent buckle as a statement design element, while the standard Madrid has a smaller, more traditional buckle.

How should I store my Birkenstock Madrid sandals?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, ideally in their original box or a breathable bag. This helps maintain the integrity of the leather and cork footbed.

Troubleshooting

Stiff strap

Ensure the metal pin buckle is correctly threaded through the strap. If the leather feels stiff, it may need conditioning with a leather conditioner suitable for nubuck (test on an inconspicuous area first).

Discomfort from footbed

Allow a break-in period of a few days, as the cork footbed molds to your foot. Ensure the strap is adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit.

Nubuck leather looks dull or dirty

Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a recommended nubuck cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully.

Slipping feeling on footbed

Ensure your feet are clean and dry before wearing. The suede lining can absorb some moisture, but excessive sweat may reduce grip. Proper strap adjustment can help secure the foot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • The large buckle adds a stylish, contemporary accent to a classic design.
  • Made with high-quality, natural materials like nubuck leather.
  • Lightweight and flexible sole provides ease of movement.
  • Adjustable strap ensures a customizable and secure fit.

Cons

  • Nubuck leather requires specific cleaning and maintenance to prevent damage or discoloration.
  • The flat heel height may not be suitable for individuals seeking significant heel elevation.
  • Open-toe design offers limited protection in certain environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle is designed as a women's casual sandal. It is compatible with most casual outfits.

Care Instructions:

  • Upper (Nubuck Leather): Clean with a nubuck/velour leather brush to remove dirt and restore nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner, following product instructions. Avoid excessive moisture. If the leather gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Footbed (Cork-Latex): Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the footbed, as this can degrade the cork and latex. Allow to dry naturally.
  • Footbed Lining (Suede): Gently brush with a suede brush to maintain texture and remove surface dirt. Avoid moisture.
  • Sole (EVA): Clean with mild soap and water. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
