FAQs

Are these sandals waterproof?

No, the Madrid sandals are made with suede and natural cork, which should be kept dry. They are not suitable for use in water.

How long is the break-in period?

Most users find that the footbed becomes comfortable after about two weeks of consistent, short-duration wear.

Can I replace the sole?

While the EVA sole is durable, it is not designed to be replaced. Proper care and avoiding extreme heat will extend the lifespan of the sole.

What does the 'anatomically shaped' footbed mean?

It means the footbed is molded to mimic the shape of a healthy human foot, providing support to the arch, heel, and toes.

Is this a unisex model?

The Madrid series is widely popular and worn by all genders, though this specific variant is listed with UK female sizing.

Troubleshooting

The cork footbed feels stiff initially

This is normal for new Birkenstocks. Wear them for short intervals indoors to allow the heat and pressure of your foot to break in the cork gradually.

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. Avoid using water or harsh soap.

The buckle feels loose

Adjust the strap to the desired hole on the buckle and ensure the pin is firmly seated through the eyelet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent orthopedic arch support
  • Minimalist and versatile design
  • Lightweight feel for all-day comfort
  • Adjustable fit through the large pin buckle
  • High-quality, durable materials

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for the footbed
  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture
  • Single-strap design offers less security than multi-strap models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your sandals last, keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cork footbed. Since the upper is made of suede, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles to prevent staining and water damage. If the sandals become dusty, use a dry brush to gently clean the suede surface. Periodically check the buckle to ensure it is clear of debris. To size correctly, ensure your heel rests comfortably in the heel cup and your toes have enough room to move freely without hitting the front edge.
