FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the leather and cork-latex components should be kept dry. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them in water.
How do I choose the right size?
Birkenstock sizes are generally true to UK sizing. Ensure your toes have enough room to move freely without hitting the raised edge of the footbed.
Can I replace the sole?
Yes, authorized Birkenstock repair centers can replace the EVA outsole once it wears down through extensive use.
Is the buckle adjustable?
Yes, the large pin buckle is fully functional and allows you to adjust the tension of the strap across your instep.
Where are these made?
The Birkenstock Madrid collection is proudly manufactured in Germany to maintain high quality and craftsmanship standards.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel too stiff initially
This is normal for new cork-latex footbeds. Wear them around the house with socks for short periods until the cork molds to your arch.
The leather upper looks dry
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner suitable for natural leather to restore suppleness and appearance.
Footbed is slippery
Ensure your feet are clean and dry. Over time, as the suede lining breaks in, it naturally becomes less slick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Madrid sandals maintain their longevity, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the metal buckle so the strap is snug but not restrictive. You should be able to slide a finger between your foot and the strap.
- Break-in: Wear the sandals for 1–2 hours at a time during the first week to let the footbed soften.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather straps with a soft, dry cloth. If the cork sides appear dry, you may apply a thin layer of cork sealant. Avoid exposing the sandals to excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or radiators, which can damage the cork-latex integrity.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent the leather from cracking or the footbed from absorbing excess humidity.
