Birkenstock 1774 lends a minimalist note to its signature Madrid sandals – conceived in 1963 – with this all-black pair. They’re crafted in the label's native Germany from smooth leather with a logo-engraved metal buckle and set on a comfortable moulded footbed designed by Konrad Birkenstock in 1897.
Birkenstock can trace its roots back to 1774. Today, with its infamously-comfortable signature cork footbed and legions of fans worldwide, the still-modestly-priced brand is shorthand for sandals, with over 40 styles, and collaborates with the likes of Rick Owens to its name.
