Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Milano Kids Sandals are designed for active children who need reliable support and stability for everyday wear. These sandals offer the signature orthopedic comfort of a cork-latex footbed, making them an excellent choice for growing feet that require arch support. While the high-quality construction ensures long-lasting durability, it is important to note that the cork footbed requires a brief break-in period to contour perfectly to the child's foot shape.

FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, Birkenstock Milano sandals are not designed for water use. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the cork footbed.
How should the fit feel?
Your child's toes should have enough room to wiggle, and the heel should sit comfortably within the heel cup without overhanging.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbed is long-lasting, it is not designed to be replaced. Following the care instructions will help maximize its lifespan.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the multiple adjustable straps make these sandals highly adaptable for various foot widths.
What is the best way to clean the suede models?
For suede versions, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust and a specialized suede eraser for spot cleaning.
Troubleshooting
The cork footbed feels too hard initially.
This is normal. Wear the sandals for 1-2 hours a day for the first week to allow the cork to mold to the foot.
Buckles are stiff or difficult to adjust.
Gently work the buckle back and forth a few times. If the material is stiff, a light application of leather conditioner can help soften the straps.
Footbed looks dark or soiled from sweat.
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe the surface. Allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your sandals, proper care is essential. When fitting the sandals, adjust the straps so they are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation. Since the footbed is made of natural cork, it is sensitive to extreme heat; avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or inside a hot car for extended periods. For routine cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the upper straps and the footbed. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or submerge the sandals in water.
