Sandal season is here – if you’re thinking about updating your collection, why not take a page out of Cindy Crawford’s always stylish book?
The iconic supermodel is known for her classic looks and timeless fashion sense, so when she posts an affordable brand, we pay attention. This spring, the 58-year-old shared a photo of herself on Instagram “on location in Palm Springs” wearing the Birkenstock Madrid Slide Sandal with Large Buckleand they’ve been at the top of our fashion wish list ever since.
Crawford styled the shoes with a cute, casual outfit — jeans, a white tee, and a printed scarf. But these Birks can easily be dressed up or down. Featuring an adjustable buckle and angled foot strap, these flip-flops may be flat, but they feel much more elevated than a typical flip-flop or even the iconic Birkenstock Arizona style.

These cute kicks are sure to be in heavy rotation this summer. Pair them with jeans and a casual tee à la Cindy, or wear them with your favorite flowy sundress—you can’t go wrong.
O Madridista sandals They have a cushioned, shock-absorbing contoured footbed to keep your feet happy all summer long, and they’re durable enough to last for seasons to come thanks to all the leather elements. Although the Madrid design is in stock at Nordstrom in black and light green, we, like Cindy, like the rich brown shade that’s especially versatile.
The shoe itself runs true to size, but has a narrow to medium insole, so if you prefer a looser fit, you can try something like the Birkenstock Soft Slide Sandal.
Birkenstock’s Madrid sandals are $140; If you’re looking for something similar but at a lower price, Amazon has some dead-on items — and at a fraction of the price.

These shoes are new to Amazon, but we have a feeling they’ll be very popular.
“I will never buy another pair of Birkenstocks after I buy these!! So comfortable and I love the style and fit,” wrote one happy buyer.

These shoes are hard to beat for $25 — get them in three neutral colors.
A fan shared: “I needed some cute slides that were dressy enough to wear with a casual outfit without looking like activewear, and these definitely fit the bill. They’re super comfortable and pair perfectly with a lot of outfit options.”
