FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, Birkenstock Milano sandals are not designed to be submerged in water, as moisture can damage the natural cork footbed.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
Your child's toes should have enough room to move freely, and their heel should sit securely within the deep heel cup of the footbed.
Can I replace the straps if they break?
While the sandals are durable, individual components like straps are not designed to be replaced by the consumer.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Milano features adjustable straps that accommodate various foot widths, making them quite versatile for most children.
What is the best way to clean the straps?
Use a damp, lint-free cloth to wipe the surface. For tougher spots, a mild leather or synthetic-safe cleaner may be used sparingly.
Why does the cork look dry over time?
Cork is a natural material that may lose some moisture over years of use; you can apply a cork sealer if you notice the edges becoming crumbly.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff during the first few wears
This is normal. The cork-latex footbed needs time to warm up and mold to the unique shape of the foot; wear them for short intervals initially.
Straps are rubbing against the skin
Adjust the buckle tension. Ensure the straps are not too tight, and consider wearing them with soft cotton socks for the first week until the material softens.
Visible dirt on the footbed
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove debris. Avoid excessive moisture to protect the cork core.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Birkenstock Milano sandals, spend time adjusting the straps so they fit snugly against the foot without cutting off circulation. A proper fit is essential for the footbed to do its job correctly.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Simply wipe the footbed and straps clean with a slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the sandals in water.
- Storage: Keep the sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can dry out and damage the cork footbed.
- Compatibility: These are designed as a regular fit for children's UK sizes. If your child has exceptionally narrow or wide feet, adjust the straps accordingly or consider trying them on with socks first to gauge the width.
