FAQs

What material is the Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle sandal made of?

The upper is made of oiled nubuck leather, the insole lining is smooth leather, the footbed is cork-latex, and the sole is EVA.

How do I adjust the strap on the sandal?

The sandal features a single strap with a metal pin buckle that can be individually adjusted to secure the fit to your foot.

Are these sandals suitable for long walks?

Yes, the anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed provides support for comfortable walking, though a break-in period might be needed for extended wear.

How should I clean my oiled nubuck leather sandals?

Gently wipe the oiled nubuck leather with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to water. Allow to air dry naturally.

What is the purpose of the Big Buckle?

The Big Buckle is a large, decorative herringbone buckle that serves as a prominent design feature, adding a fashion-forward element to the classic Madrid design.

Do these sandals come in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle comes in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.

Are these sandals waterproof?

No, these sandals are not waterproof. The leather and cork materials can be damaged by excessive moisture. They are best suited for dry conditions.

Troubleshooting

Sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Birkenstock sandals, especially those with cork footbeds, often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. The footbed will mold to your foot's shape over time.

Leather upper shows water spots or discoloration.

This can happen with oiled nubuck leather. Ensure you wipe away excess water immediately and allow them to air dry naturally. Consider using a leather conditioner specifically designed for oiled or nubuck leather if necessary, following product instructions.

Strap feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the strap using the individual metal pin buckle. Move the strap through the buckle to find the most comfortable and secure position for your foot.

Footbed feels slippery after cleaning.

Ensure the footbed is completely dry before wearing. If it remains slippery, it might indicate excessive moisture or residue. Try cleaning again with a slightly damp cloth and allow ample drying time.
