FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The adjustable straps provide some flexibility for width adjustment. However, the fit depends on the individual foot shape. Trying them on is recommended if possible.

How do I clean the gold buckles?

Wipe the metal buckles with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the gold finish.

Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede in wet conditions as it can stain and damage the material. The cork footbed can also be affected by prolonged moisture.

How long does the footbed take to mold to my feet?

The footbed typically starts to show noticeable molding within a few weeks of regular wear. The process depends on the frequency and duration of wear.

What is the sole height?

The sole height measures approximately 2 cm.

Are these sandals heavy?

These sandals are designed for comfort and are not considered heavy. The materials used, like cork and rubber, offer a good balance of durability and lightness.

What is the difference between the Milano and other Birkenstock models?

The Milano model is characterized by its closed heel cup and multiple adjustable straps, offering enhanced stability and a secure fit compared to simpler slide or thong styles. The 'Big Buckle' variant specifically refers to the oversized decorative buckles.

Troubleshooting

Buckles feel stiff or difficult to adjust.

Gently work the buckles back and forth. If persistent, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant may be applied sparingly to the buckle mechanism, but avoid contact with the suede.

Suede appears dirty or has a mark.

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaning guide or product for appropriate methods. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Footbed feels too firm initially.

The cork footbed is designed to conform to your foot shape over time with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in gradually.
