Product Information

Full details

The Birkenstock Milano AS is designed for kids seeking supportive, adjustable footwear for everyday wear. Its key benefit lies in the contoured cork footbed and adjustable straps that provide a secure, custom fit. A potential consideration is the synthetic upper, which may differ in feel from traditional leather for some users. This model features a durable rubber sole, a natural brown footbed lining, and elegant silver buckles for a secure closure.

FAQs

How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?

Refer to the size chart and measure your child's foot length. The Milano AS has adjustable straps to help achieve a secure fit, but the length and width should be appropriate from the start.

Can these sandals be worn in water?

While the rubber sole is water-resistant, the cork footbed and synthetic/leather upper are not designed for prolonged submersion. It's best to avoid wearing them in water to preserve their material integrity and comfort.

How long does the break-in period for the cork footbed typically last?

The break-in period can vary but usually takes a few days to a week of moderate wear. The footbed will soften and conform to your child's unique foot shape.

Are these sandals suitable for children with wide feet?

Yes, the Milano AS features two wide straps with adjustable buckles, which allows for a customizable fit that can accommodate wider feet.

What is the sole height?

The sole height is approximately 3cm at its highest point.

What are the primary materials used?

The upper is made of synthetic material, the lining is leather, the footbed is cork, and the sole is rubber.

How should I clean the footbed if it gets dirty?

Wipe the cork footbed with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, you can use a specialized cork cleaner. Avoid soaking the footbed in water.

Troubleshooting

Straps are difficult to adjust

Ensure the buckle prong is correctly aligned with the holes. If new, the straps may be stiff and will loosen with use.

Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable

The cork footbed requires a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration as the footbed conforms to your child's foot.

Soles appear worn quickly

Check for excessive friction or rough surfaces the child frequently walks on. Ensure the correct size is being worn, as an ill-fitting size can cause premature wear.

Silver buckles show discoloration

Wipe the buckles with a dry cloth. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture or salt water, which can cause tarnishing.

Care:
