The Birkenstock Madrid is the oldest member of the family of models, making it a classic. Launched as a “fitness sandal” half a century ago, this simple single-strap model has gone on to become a firm fashion favourite. Its function and design have largely remained unchanged. The special positioning of the strap gently trains the muscles in the feet and calves with each step – the toes’ grip reflexes trigger this effect.

Care instructions

Prolong the life of your Birkenstocks by following our care instructions:

• Breaking in a new pair: Allow your feet to adjust to your new shoes by limiting wear to just a few hours the first five to six times.

• Air footbeds regularly: Airing the footbeds prevents the build-up of odours caused by excess moisture.

• Don’t immerse in water: Water can damage the cork and dissolve the glue/sealant.

• Avoid extreme heat: Heat exposure can damage Birkenstocks. Avoid leaving them in the car or direct sunlight, and keep away from radiators and fireplaces.

• Repair your shoes: Over time, Birkenstock footwear may require repair due to general wear. Ask us how .
