FAQs
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of their longest toe. Compare this measurement to the BIRKENSTOCK size chart for children's footwear. It's recommended to check the fit with a little space at the front for growth.
Are these sandals suitable for water activities?
While they can get wet, these sandals are not designed for prolonged submersion or heavy water play. The cork footbed can be damaged by excessive moisture. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions.
How do I clean the cork footbed?
The cork footbed can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the footbed dries completely before the next use.
What is the main advantage of the Milano design?
The Milano features an additional heel strap which, combined with the adjustable foot strap, provides extra security and support, making it ideal for more active children.
Can these sandals be worn year-round?
Primarily designed for warmer weather, they can be worn with socks in cooler temperatures for indoor or transitional weather use, offering consistent comfort.
What does 'LEVE' signify in the product name?
The 'LEVE' designation typically refers to a specific collection or model variation from BIRKENSTOCK, often characterized by particular materials or design nuances. In this case, it signifies the specific toddler version of the Milano sandal.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too stiff or uncomfortable
Cork footbeds often require a short break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Bending the soles gently can also help soften them.
Child's foot is slipping out
Ensure the ankle strap is tightened securely but not uncomfortably. If the sandal is still too loose, double-check the sizing; the child may have outgrown the current size or it may be the wrong width.
Discoloration on the footbed
This can occur due to moisture and natural foot oils. Clean the footbed with a damp cloth and mild soap, and ensure feet are dry before wearing. Allow sandals to air dry completely after wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These sandals require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size by measuring your child's foot and comparing it to the Birkenstock size chart.
Compatibility: Compatible with most toddler and children's sock types for cooler weather if desired, though they are primarily designed for warm-weather wear.
Care: To clean the BIRKENSTOCK Milano AS Kids LEVE sandals, use a damp cloth to wipe down the footbed and upper. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid exposing the cork footbed to excessive moisture or direct heat, as this can degrade the material. Allow sandals to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
