FAQs
Are these sandals unisex?
Yes, the Birkenstock Milano is designed as a unisex model suitable for a wide range of adult feet.
Can I get the footbed wet?
While the sandals are durable, it is best to avoid significant water exposure as it can compromise the cork and latex construction.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your heel should rest comfortably in the heel cup, and your toes should have a small amount of space to move freely at the front.
Where are these sandals made?
The Birkenstock Milano is proudly manufactured in Germany.
Does the Milano offer more support than the Arizona model?
Yes, the addition of the heel strap provides extra stability, which many users find more secure for walking.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard during initial wear
This is normal. Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow the cork to warm up and conform to your foot.
Buckle is scratching the skin
Adjust the strap tension slightly to change the buckle angle or ensure the leather or synthetic upper is sitting properly against the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, adjust the three straps so they are snug but not tight; you should be able to slide a finger under the straps comfortably. When caring for your sandals, avoid leaving them in direct, intense heat, such as inside a locked car, as this can damage the cork footbed. Keep the sandals dry; if they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the straps and buckle hardware to ensure they remain functional and free of debris.
