Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Milano is designed for adults seeking superior support and stability in a casual sandal. Featuring a robust three-strap design with an integrated heel strap, these sandals provide a secure fit for all-day comfort. While the anatomical footbed is renowned for its health benefits, new users should be aware that the cork construction requires a short break-in period to fully adapt to the shape of the foot.

FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, while they are durable, the cork and leather-style components should not be submerged in water.
How should the straps fit?
The straps should be snug enough to hold your foot securely but loose enough to allow natural movement without pinching.
Where are these made?
The Birkenstock Milano is proudly manufactured in Germany.
Is the footbed replaceable?
While the footbed is designed for a long lifespan, it is generally considered a fixed part of the shoe construction.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, the Milano is frequently styled with socks for a comfortable, casual look.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
Wear the sandals for 1-2 hours a day for the first week to allow the cork-latex to soften and mold to your foot.
Buckles are stiff or difficult to adjust
Gently wiggle the prong while sliding it through the strap hole to loosen the tension in the metal mechanism.
Material feels slippery
Ensure your feet are dry before wearing, as the microfiber insole can become slick when exposed to significant moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Milano sandals last, avoid extreme heat, which can damage the cork and latex. If the sandals get wet, allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources like radiators. For cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe down the straps and the microfiber footbed. Keep the buckles free of debris to maintain their adjustability. Because these are unisex, ensure you verify the UK sizing before purchase to guarantee the proper fit for your foot length.
