FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork-latex footbed are not designed to be submerged in water or used in heavy rain.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a soft suede brush to gently lift dirt. Avoid using water or harsh soap directly on the suede material.
Does the ankle strap come off?
No, the ankle strap is permanently attached as part of the sandal's security design.
What if the cork edges dry out?
You can apply a thin layer of cork sealant to the exposed cork edges if they begin to look dull or flaky to maintain structural integrity.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the adjustable buckles allow for significant width adjustment across the foot.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is integrated into the sole unit and is not designed to be replaced by the user.
Troubleshooting
Buckles feel loose after walking
Ensure the pin is fully engaged in the strap hole. If the hole has stretched, adjust to the next tighter setting.
Suede upper looks dusty or matted
Use a suede-specific brush to gently brush the fibers in one direction to restore the nap.
Footbed feels hard during first use
This is normal for new cork footbeds. Wear them for short intervals (1-2 hours) over the first few days to allow the cork to mold to the unique shape of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Milano sandals last, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Setup: When first putting them on, tighten the ankle strap first to center the heel in the heel cup. Then, adjust the toe and instep straps so they are snug but not constricting.
- Compatibility: These sandals are best suited for dry-weather environments. They fit true to standard children's sizing, but it is recommended to leave a small gap behind the heel and in front of the toes for natural foot movement.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt from the upper. For the cork edge, use a damp cloth. Never place these sandals in a washing machine or dryer, as extreme heat can damage the cork-latex integrity.
