Birkenstock Unisex Madrid EVA Slide Sandals NW/OB

The Birkenstock Madrid EVA Slide Sandal brings the brand's original and most minimalist silhouette into a water-friendly, virtually weightless package — letting you take the iconic style you love wherever water is found, from the gym to the pool to the beach and back. The Madrid holds a special place in Birkenstock history as the original Birkenstock sandal, masterfully combining a single strap, a buckle, and a contoured footbed into a clean, slim, endlessly versatile slide that predates even the beloved Arizona. Modeled on the cork original but crafted entirely from one single piece of ultra-lightweight and highly flexible EVA, the Madrid EVA is made from high-quality, odor-neutral material that has been tested for harmful substances and combines a host of practical attributes: it is exceptionally light, highly elastic, shock-absorbent, water-resistant, washable, and gentle on the skin. The single strap features one individually adjustable buckle that allows for a personalized, secure fit, while the open-toe, slip-on design makes it an effortless throw-and-go choice for warm-weather days. At its heart is the anatomically shaped Birkenstock EVA footbed, which faithfully recreates the support of the cork original — featuring the signature deep heel molding that holds the heel bone firmly in its natural position, contoured longitudinal arch support, and a roomy toe box — all working together to activate the calf muscles, stabilize the back of the foot, and improve gait and coordination for nearly as much support as a closed shoe. Made in Germany and built on a unisex construction in a Narrow width that accommodates both narrow and medium feet, the Madrid EVA is available in a range of colorways including Black and White at an accessible MSRP of $54.95.
