Birkenstock Milano - Brown - Leather - Buckle - Casual - Slippers & Sandals

There should be a small space between your toes and the edge of the footbed, and also between your heel and the back of the footbed. The straps should be snug but not constricting, and the heel strap should keep your foot securely in place.

While the EVA sole is water-resistant, the cork footbed and suede insole are not. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the footbed and potentially cause the sole to delaminate. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.

The break-in period varies from person to person, but most users find them comfortable after a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear.

Birko-Flor is a synthetic material and is less breathable than natural leather. However, the design allows for some airflow through the open areas of the sandal.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, which can cause the cork to dry out or warp. Avoid storing them in plastic bags for extended periods.

The Milano is distinguished by its three adjustable straps, including a dedicated heel strap, which provides a more secure and supportive fit compared to models with fewer straps, like the Arizona or Gizeh.

Adjust the metal pin buckles on each of the three straps until a comfortable and secure fit is achieved.

This is normal during the break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods each day, allowing the cork footbed to gradually mold to your foot's shape.

This can be due to moisture. Ensure feet are dry before wearing. For minor discoloration, a damp cloth may help. For persistent marks, consider a Birkenstock footbed cleaner.

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the footbed and sole. Ensure both are dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the footbed or on the sole might help.
