Full details
The BIRKENSTOCK Bstk Madrid Raffia Ld62 is designed for women seeking comfortable and stylish summer footwear. Its key benefit is the blend of a natural raffia aesthetic with Birkenstock's signature supportive footbed. A potential caveat is that raffia may require specific care to maintain its appearance. This product features a fabric upper, a cork and latex footbed for ergonomic support, an EVA sole for durability, and a suede insole for comfort, all brought together with an adjustable metal pin buckle strap.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Madrid style features a single strap with an adjustable buckle, which can accommodate a range of widths. However, for significantly wide feet, other Birkenstock models with multiple straps might offer more customizable fitting.
How do I determine my correct Birkenstock size?
Refer to the Birkenstock sizing chart and measure your foot length. The UK size 7 is indicated for this specific model.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
The raffia upper and cork footbed are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. It's best to wear these in dry conditions and dry them immediately if they get damp.
What is the primary benefit of the cork and latex footbed?
The cork and latex footbed is anatomically shaped to provide superior arch support, cushioning, and stability, promoting foot health and comfort.
How long does it take for the footbed to mold to my foot?
The break-in period varies per individual, but most users find the footbed starts to conform within a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear.
Can the raffia material be treated for water resistance?
While some suede protectors might offer minor water repellency, it's not recommended to apply treatments that could alter the natural look and feel of the raffia. Gentle cleaning and avoiding water exposure are the best practices.
Troubleshooting
Stiff footbed initially
Wear the sandals for short periods to gradually break in the cork and latex footbed. The footbed will conform to your foot's shape over time.
Raffia upper discoloration or damage
Avoid prolonged exposure to water or excessive moisture. If wet, dry immediately with a soft cloth and air dry. For minor marks, try a gentle wipe with a slightly damp cloth.
Buckle is difficult to adjust
Ensure the pin is properly aligned with the holes. If it feels stuck, try wiggling it gently. Do not force the buckle, as this could damage the strap.
Suede insole looks dirty
Use a soft suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and revive the nap. For tougher stains, consider a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
