Much ado about the Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle
The Madrid is one of the oldest sandal models, dating back to the "exercise sandal" in 1963, and the Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle is one of the most recent variants, with an XL pink buckle across the front as its signature twist.
The Big Buckle uses the same classic footbed technology as the standard version, with contoured latex, arch support, a heel mould, and stabilising features. The materials vary, with an array of finishes to choose from. It's thanks to this that they pair so well with almost everything, from men's linen trousers.
Where to wear Birkenstock Big Buckle?
The Birkenstock Big Buckle gives you sandal comfort with that extra fashionable flair and excellent support. You can choose between a regular and narrow profile, if you've got thinner feet, and the range of neutral, maroons, purples, and textured choices means you can wear them anywhere, whether you're milling around in the garden planting trees, or grabbing lunch down the road.
One of the favourite pairings you’ll find today is a pair of Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckles and a t-shirt dress while sipping tea with the ladies on a Sunday morning.
How to wear and care for them
These Birkenstocks were created to be bold, so make bold choices when pairing them. Throw on a summer dress and a scarf with your sandals, or some cropped pants and a loose-fitting flower shirt for a little more airflow.
A standard tee and denim jeans work just as well with these sandals as a summer look with a silk blouse and matching accessories. If you have to wear socks with your Birkenstock Madrids, stick to the thin crew socks, so you barely feel them. When it comes to designer shoes, these Birkenstock Big Buckles' are right up there with the most premium of them all.
