Sandals are the quintessential shoe of summer, with easy wear and a breezy design that is perfect for hot days. There are many styles to choose from, but you can never go wrong with Birkenstock, a brand beloved for high-quality footwear with cozy cork cushioning. Molding to the contours of your feet, these footbeds deliver ultimate comfort each time you slip on your Birks.

Now's the time to try the shoes out for yourself, because Zappos has slashed the price on a stylish sage green pair by 36%. This brings the price of the Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle Sandal, which shoppers describe as “super cute and so comfy,” from $150 to just $96 for a limited time.

Details to know

Sizes available: These shoes come in sizes 5 to 11 without half sizes. As a note, the width options indicate this shoe is narrow on Zappos' website, but reviewers suggest this is not the case.
Color options: The sandal comes in faded purple, sage green, old rose, and sandcastle. Only two of the four colors are on sale, including sage green with 36% off and old rose with 31% off.
Materials: The strap is made from natural nubuck leather, and the cork footbed is covered in soft suede for additional comfort.

Elevating the traditional Birkenstock style, these sandals have a fashion-forward look featuring a wide buckle strap. Despite the difference in design, these shoes still deliver the same comfort you can expect from the brand, with a contoured cork-latex footbed that provides customized support. As a bonus, the sole is lightweight and flexible, so your feet won't feel heavy even after a long day.

One shopper wrote, “I wanted a Birkenstock that was a bit more feminine than my Arizonas. While I love my Arizonas, they aren't as cute with skirts and dresses as I'd like. The Madrid Big Buckle is absolutely darling. This could be my favorite purchase of the year, seriously!”

“The big buckle is what drew me to these,” said another reviewer. “I am not a fan of the typical Birkenstocks, but these are very stylish. They were very comfortable from day one. The leather footbed is actually very soft and feels good. Overall, I could not be more pleased.”
