Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Milano is designed for adults seeking a blend of classic style and superior stability in a versatile sandal. Its standout feature is the three-strap design, which includes an adjustable heel strap to ensure a secure, locked-in fit for various foot shapes. While it offers exceptional anatomical support, new users should note that the signature cork footbed requires a short "break-in" period to fully conform to the wearer's foot.

FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the Milano features a cork footbed which should not be submerged in water or left in extremely wet conditions.
How do I find my size?
The Milano uses UK sizing. It is recommended to check the specific size guide provided to match your standard shoe size.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Birkenstock Milano is designed as a unisex model suitable for all adults.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbed is highly durable, it is not designed to be replaced by the user. Regular care will extend its lifespan significantly.
How do I clean the black straps?
You can clean the upper straps with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then air dry away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal; wear them for short periods over two weeks to allow the cork to mold to your foot shape.
Buckles are digging into the skin.
Adjust the strap tension. The sandals should be snug but not restrictive; ensure there is minimal friction at the adjustment points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the straps while standing to account for natural foot spread. The buckles should be tightened so the straps sit snugly across your instep and around the heel without digging into your skin. For care, keep the sandals away from extreme heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can warp the cork. If the footbed becomes soiled, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe it clean; avoid harsh chemicals or detergents. If you frequently walk in dusty environments, brushing the cork edges with a soft brush can help maintain their appearance. While the shoes are unisex, ensure you verify the specific UK sizing before ordering to account for your personal fit preference.
