FAQs
What is EVA material?
EVA stands for ethylene-vinyl acetate. It's a high-quality, very lightweight, elastic material with excellent cushioning and shock-absorbing properties. It's also waterproof and skin-friendly.
Are these sandals suitable for getting wet?
Yes, absolutely! The Birkenstock Milano EVA sandals are completely waterproof. They are perfect for trips to the beach, pool, or even playing in sprinklers without worry.
How do I determine the correct size for my toddler?
For the best fit, ensure your toddler's heel sits comfortably in the heel cup and their toes are within the front edge of the footbed, with a small gap both in front and behind. The size 10 corresponds to UK children's sizing. If unsure, measure your toddler's foot length and compare it to a Birkenstock size chart.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
Yes, they feature an anatomically shaped Birkenstock footbed, which provides contoured support similar to the classic cork footbed, though in a softer, more flexible EVA material. This helps support the natural shape of a toddler's foot.
Can these be worn for extended periods?
These sandals are designed for comfort and casual wear, making them suitable for extended periods of play and daily activities. Always monitor your toddler for any signs of discomfort, especially during initial wear.
Will the white color stain easily?
While the white color can show dirt more readily than darker colors, the EVA material is non-porous and very easy to clean. Most stains can be simply wiped or rinsed away with water and a mild soap.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too loose or too tight on my toddler's feet.
Adjust the three buckle straps. Loosen or tighten them one at a time until the sandals feel secure but not constricting. Ensure an even fit across the foot.
My toddler's feet are rubbing or getting blisters.
This can sometimes happen during the initial wear. Re-check the strap adjustments to ensure they are not too tight. If the issue persists, try wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow their feet to adjust, or ensure they are the correct size. Check for any debris inside the sandal.
The white sandals look dirty quickly.
The EVA material is very easy to clean. Rinse them with cool water and use a soft cloth or sponge with a small amount of mild soap to gently scrub away dirt. Let them air dry completely.
The sandals have a slight odor.
EVA generally resists odor, but if an odor develops, rinse the sandals thoroughly with water and mild soap, then allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Sunlight (not extreme heat) can also help freshen them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Unpack: Remove the sandals from their packaging.
- Adjust Straps: Place the sandals on your toddler's feet. Adjust each of the three buckle straps individually to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are not too tight, which could cause discomfort or rubbing, nor too loose, which could lead to slipping. You should be able to slide one finger underneath each strap.
- Check Fit: Make sure your toddler's toes are not touching the front rim and their heel is not overhanging the back of the footbed. There should be a small space both in front of the toes and behind the heel.
Compatibility
These sandals are designed for toddlers (age group: toddler) and are a UK size 10. They are a unisex design, suitable for all toddlers.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Due to the EVA material, these sandals are incredibly easy to clean. Simply rinse them under cool water to remove dirt, sand, or mud. For more stubborn stains, a mild soap can be used with a soft brush or cloth. Allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Storage: Store the sandals in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or hot environments (like a closed car on a sunny day) for extended periods, as extreme heat can potentially cause the EVA material to deform.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the EVA material.
