Madrid Birko-Flor™ Slide Sandal

I have worn Birkenstock Madrid sandals all over the world, journeying within work in world spiritual traditions, education, and service. The Madrid was created decades ago as Birkenstock's original exercise sandal, to benefit the feet, ankles, legs, knees, pelvis and back, posture and alignment. I purchased my first pair after a bad fall hiking in South America in which I injured one leg in eleven places. The sandals have been of extreme benefit to my life and body for almost twenty years. They exercise the foot and lower body, call the pelvis, back and torso into balanced alignment, and are chic, comfortable and cherished.

They are true to size I got the 8-8.5 and I’m usually a 8.5. Super comfy and stylish. I wear them with shorts, pants, dresses even my joggers

Won't stay on your feet. Feel like boards. I have other Birkenstocks and love them, but really don't like this style.

I love these. They're my go-to and great for traveling. They're casual enough for jeans or shorts but can be worn with a skirt or dress, too. I've even worn them hiking on the Big Island's lava field and and up and down Singapore's Bukit Timah Nature Reserve's muddy stairs and hills. My dog loves them, too. He's eaten about 5 pairs of these now so keep them out of reach of you have any furry mutts!

I love these so much and am so happy I finally bought them. They're not as bulky as many Birks (which I love on other people, but they look funny on me for some reason). I have narrow-ish feet and a low instep, these can be adjusted to fit perfectly. Highly recommend!

The black strap is very stiff and it hurts walking in them. In fact the black strap is plastic with a felt lining. I decided to return it and traded them in for the traditional Birkenstock- about double the price but it is an investment for my feet.

I love the style of the Madrid Birkenstock, they are true to size and have an adjustable strap to fit my narrow feet. They are very comfortable with a lot of support for walking. As I get older I cannot wear the cheaper flip flops these Birkenstocks are perfect. I wear them with my sundresses and they look great with jeans!

After swearing for years that I would never wear Birkenstocks, I gave in to the trend and bought the Madrid in white for summer. I wear size 6 shoes and chose the narrow 36, and that was the right size choice. The first couple of times that I wore them, they were horribly uncomfortable. The top strap dug into the tops of my feet, and the bottoms felt like I was walking on wooden boards. I had read that it takes time to break in Birkenstocks, so I kept wearing them, and they did break in. After about three weeks of nearly daily wear, they're now very comfortable, and I find myself wearing them just about every day. Very easy to slip on, lightweight, and look really cute with shorts and skirts/dresses.

Let year I bought the same madrid birk in silver and was pleasantly surprised since they cost considerably less than the arizona style. I particularly liked them bc less bulky. I have difficulty finding comfortable shoes due to some nerve damage in my feet but last year's size 40 madrid felt great! I live in NYC so walking is a part of life. This year I bought them in black but the sizing seems to have changed slightly. Normally wear btn size 10-10.5 in most shoes. Returned the 41s for the 40s - the formers' were too long and loose in toe box (i have a narrow foot) while the latter too short so I had to return them ad well. I will have to get last year's resoled until a find another birk that's equally as comfortable.

I ordered these shoes in white to go with some of my summer dresses. I have really enjoyed them. They are very comfortable and have a cute look. They are also much easier to break in than other Birkenstocks.

hard to fit. i bought my regular birkenstock size but alas this sandal fit wide and the straps didn't provide for a snugger fit.

Not the quality I expect from Birkenstock. Cute but look very inexpensive.
