Madrid Birko-Flor Patent

A strap, a buckle and a contoured cork footbed are simply, but masterfully, combined to create the original Birkenstock sandal – the Madrid. This simple, iconic slide is still the purest expression of the minimalist tradition that guides Birkenstock design to this today.

• Patent Birko-Flor – a durable, synthetic upper material with a shiny patent leather-like finish and soft backing
• Contoured cork footbed conforms to the shape of your foot and features pronounced arch support, a deep heel cup, and roomy toe box; lined with suede
• Lightweight EVA sole for cushioning and shock absorption
• Avoid extreme heat
• Heel shape: flat
• “Made in Germany”

Upper material: Birko-Flor® Patent

Birko-Flor® Patent is made from our easy-to-care-for, moisture-repellent synthetic material Birko-Flor® with a patent finish. It is bright, gaudy and radiant. There is no end to the choice of colours.

Insole: Natural leather

Natural leather can be recognized by its untreated surface. BIRKENSTOCK purposely does not treat surface grains and other characteristic features. BIRKENSTOCK uses sturdy leather with a thickness of 2.8 to 3.2 millimeters as upper material.

Footbed material: Cork

Cork is a sustainable material extracted from the bark layer of the cork oak. This natural product is insulating and offers very good cushioning.

Outsole: EVA

EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) is a high-quality, very light, elastic material with extremely good cushioning. As a result, it smooths out slight irregularities in the floor and ensures that every step is softly cushioned.
