BIRKENSTOCK MADRID: MINIMALIST DESIGN MEETS ULTIMATE COMFORT

Spruce up your summer wardrobe with a pair of the most iconic BIRKENSTOCK sandals. The BIRKENSTOCK Madrid combines minimalist design, high-quality materials and exceptional comfort to create the ultimate must-have sandal.

MADRID SANDALS: THE ORIGINAL BIRKENSTOCK

The history of the Madrid harks back to the 60s, when BIRKENSTOCK introduced a groundbreaking new sandal design. It was unveiled at the 1963 shoe trade fair in Düsseldorf… but BIRKENSTOCKs original one-strap sandal wasn’t an immediate hit. Inspired by the bold lines of brutalism, with a flexible cork-latex footbed and a simple, adjustable strap, the avant-garde nature of this sandal was a step too far from the current favourite: the Italian stiletto. But it wasn’t long before the “gymnastics sandal” caught on – so known because the grip reflex of the toes is activated when you walk, exercising your foot and leg muscles.

More than 60 years on, the now-named Madrid is one of our most iconic models. Today’s design rings true to the original vision all those years ago, and its popularity is a true testament to BIRKENSTOCK's visionary approach to footwear.

ULTIMATE COMFORT

Step into a true BIRKENSTOCK classic and experience exceptional comfort and arch support with every step you take. At the core of all BIRKENSTOCK Madrid sandals lies the famous contoured footbed, made from high-quality natural materials – natural cork, natural latex, jute and suede. The flexible and shock-absorbent footbed is moulded to the natural shape of the human foot. Each detail of the construction serves a specific purpose and makes you feel like you’re standing on sand, even after countless hours up and about.

The BIRKENSTOCK Madrid comes in two different widths and features one simple strap that can be individually adjusted to your feet. This lets you create a custom fit in a matter of seconds, making them easy to walk in and great for long days on your feet.

MADRID’S MINIMALIST DESIGN

If you’re looking for a sandal that exudes simplicity and elegance at the same time, you might have found your perfect match. The Madrid’s minimalist design, true to its original design from the 1960s, is what makes it so popular. The singular strap supports your feet and complements virtually any outfit. This compelling design feature comes in a variety of different materials and colourways, so you can retain the minimalist appeal or opt for something more distinctive to make a statement.

All BIRKENSTOCK Madrid models come with sturdy metal pin buckles that are not only extremely functional, but also a fashionable design feature. The BIRKENSTOCK Madrid Big Buckle uses a larger version of the pin buckle as an eye-catching addition.

SAME DESIGN, NEW SHADES AND MATERIALS

The design of the BIRKENSTOCK Madrid has remained unchanged for decades. But due to its overwhelming popularity worldwide, the Madrid is now available in a wide range of shades and materials to suit every taste. Depending on your personal style and preference, you can opt for premium oiled leather or smooth leather as well as innovative and breathable leather alternatives like Birko-Flor® Nubuck or elegant Birko-Flor® Patent. No matter which upper material you go for, you can rest assured that the inner lining of each strap softly nestles against your skin and adjusts to the shape of your foot.

On the colour front, classics like the BIRKENSTOCK Madrid in black and brown remain as popular as ever, but new colourways from green and blue to purple and gold offer a fashionable interpretation of this classic sandal. And it’s not just the upper – the soles, with their distinctive bone-pattern tread, are also available in a range of colours. This allows for exciting colour contrasts, known as colour blocking. With so many options, the Madrid is a stylish all-rounder.

FROM SIMPLISTIC AND UNDERSTATED TO GLAMOROUS AND CHIC

BIRKENSTOCK Madrid sandals cover all your footwear needs. Women who feel drawn to subtle colours get to express their true selves in BIRKENSTOCK Madrid black, white, olive, mocha or bronze. The muted shades complement the no-fuss one-strap design of the sandal and allow for endless outfit combinations.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, metallic or Big Buckle styles could be your perfect match. And if you’re looking to add a touch of femininity to your summer apparel, turn to soft pastel colours like the BIRKENSTOCK Madrid in pink to perfectly complement your favourite summer dress.

Heading to the beach, pool or spa? The BIRKENSTOCK Madrid EVA is a super-lightweight, waterproof and washable alternative. Available in an array of colours, it will keep you looking chic, even out in the rain!

BIRKENSTOCK MADRID SIZING AND FIT

The BIRKENSTOCK Madrid comes in sizes 2.5-11.5, and as with all BIRKENSTOCK sandals, the Madrid is available in two widths (regular and narrow). BIRKENSTOCK Madrid in narrow is designed to accommodate an A-B width for women, and fits more like a medium than a true narrow. The single strap can be individually adjusted to your feet for a true custom fit and ultimate comfort and support.
