FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable buckle allows for some customization in fit, which can accommodate slightly wider feet. However, the overall width is based on a standard Birkenstock fit.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have a small gap between your heel and the back edge of the footbed, and a similar gap at the front. Your toes should not be touching the edges. Refer to Birkenstock's sizing guide for precise measurements.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the EVA sole offers some water resistance, the raffia upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them in water.
How long does the cork footbed typically last?
With proper care, the cork-latex footbed can last for several years, gradually conforming to your foot for personalized comfort. Eventually, the cork may start to wear down, and resoling might be an option depending on the model.
Is the raffia material durable?
Raffia is a natural material that offers a unique aesthetic. While it can be durable for casual wear, it is more delicate than synthetic materials and requires careful handling to prevent snags or excessive wear.
What is the difference between the Madrid and other Birkenstock models?
The Madrid is characterized by its single-strap, minimalist design and is often considered a more fashion-forward option compared to classic models like the Arizona or Gizeh. It maintains the signature cork footbed for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the metal buckle on the strap to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the strap is positioned comfortably across your foot.
Footbed feels stiff initially.
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time as they break in.
Raffia material looks scuffed or dirty.
Gently spot clean with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a soft brush or a specialized raffia cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.
Slipping sensation on the footbed.
Ensure your feet are dry. If the issue persists, a light dusting of talcum powder can help absorb moisture. Check that the footbed is clean and free from residues.

Care:
- Upper: Gently clean the raffia material with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect the raffia from dust and damage. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause discoloration or material degradation.
