FAQs
What is Birko-Flor?
Birko-Flor is a durable, skin-friendly, and easy-to-clean synthetic material used by Birkenstock for the upper part of their sandals.
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, while the EVA sole is water-resistant, the cork-latex footbed should not be submerged in water.
How should I clean the cork footbed?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt and a slightly damp cloth for the suede lining. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Do I need to size up or down?
The Madrid 'Narrow Fit' generally runs like a standard fit in other major shoe brands. Stick to your usual EU size.
Where are these made?
All authentic Birkenstock Madrid sandals are made in Germany.
Can I replace the sole if it wears out?
Birkenstock soles are durable, but they are not designed to be replaced. Proper care will maximize the lifespan of the EVA sole.
Troubleshooting
The sandal feels stiff upon first wear
The cork-latex footbed requires a break-in period. Wear them for 1-2 hours a day until the footbed conforms to your foot shape.
The buckle is digging into my skin
Adjust the metal pin buckle to a looser setting or add a small amount of moleskin padding to the strap underside until the material softens.
The footbed has become discolored or damp
Avoid water exposure. If they get wet, air dry them naturally in the shade; never use a hairdryer or direct heat source.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals last, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made from Birko-Flor, you can wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove dust or dirt. Do not submerge the cork footbed in water, as this can degrade the natural adhesives. If the footbed becomes dirty, use a specialized suede cleaner and a soft brush to gently lift debris from the lining. Because these are a 'Narrow Fit' but wear like a standard size, ensure you check your foot width against the buckle adjustment holes upon first use. Store the sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can dry out the natural cork over time.
