FAQs
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
Refer to the BIRKENSTOCK size chart and measure your child's foot from heel to the longest toe. Compare this measurement to the chart, paying attention to the specific UK size. Remember these have a narrow fit.
Are these sandals suitable for water activities?
While the synthetic materials can handle getting wet and are easy to clean, the suede footbed is best kept from prolonged saturation. They are suitable for light water play or beach wear, but ensure they are dried properly afterwards.
Can the straps be fully removed?
No, the straps are an integral part of the sandal's design for support and adjustability and cannot be removed.
How do I break in the suede footbed?
The suede footbed is designed to mold to the wearer's foot with use, providing customized comfort. Simply wear the sandals regularly, and they will gradually conform to the shape of your child's feet.
What is the key difference between the Milano and other BIRKENSTOCK models like the Arizona?
The main difference is the addition of an ankle strap on the Milano, which provides extra support and a more secure fit compared to the Arizona's two-strap design.
Where are these sandals made?
These BIRKENSTOCK Milano sandals are made in Europe.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the ankle strap and the forefoot strap using the buckle and touch 'n' close fasteners to achieve a secure, comfortable fit. Ensure the heel is properly seated in the heel cup.
Suede footbed looks dirty or stained.
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for this material, testing first in a small area. Avoid soaking the footbed.
Synthetic material is scuffed.
For minor scuffs, try wiping with a damp cloth. For more significant marks, a cleaner specifically for synthetic materials might be helpful, but always test on an inconspicuous spot first.
