FAQs

Are these sandals waterproof?

While the EVA sole is water-resistant, the cork footbed and suede lining should not be submerged in water as it can compromise the materials.

What does 'Narrow Fit' mean?

Birkenstock's narrow fit is designed for slimmer feet, though many users with standard width feet find them comfortable. If you usually wear a wider fitting shoe, you might prefer a standard width model.

How should I clean the Birko-Flor upper?

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Can I replace the soles?

Birkenstock soles can often be refurbished by authorized cobblers if they wear down after extensive use.

Are these made in Germany?

Yes, traditional Birkenstock manufacturing remains focused on high-quality production standards in Germany.

Do I need to wear socks with these?

That is a matter of personal style. While many prefer to wear them barefoot, they can be worn with socks for a trendier, casual aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Strap feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the metal pin buckle to a different hole to achieve a more comfortable tension across the instep.

Footbed feels stiff when brand new

This is normal. Wear the sandals for short periods indoors for the first few days to allow the cork-latex to soften and mold to your foot.

Stains on the footbed

Use a specialized suede cleaning spray or a very lightly dampened cloth, then let them dry completely in a cool, shaded area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you first receive your Madrid sandals, adjust the strap so it sits snugly but comfortably across the instep. Because these are a 'Narrow Fit' model, keep in mind they are designed to hug the foot more closely than standard widths. To care for your sandals, keep them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the cork footbed. Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to clean the Birko-Flor upper, and allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight. The suede insole can be refreshed by gently brushing with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust or debris.
