Birkenstock Sandals - Milano - Brown - UK 7

Birkenstock sizes are based on length and width. Consult the sizing chart provided by Birkenstock and measure your foot length. Most models come in 'regular' (medium/wide) and 'narrow' width options.

While the materials are somewhat water-resistant, it is not recommended to submerge the sandals in water for extended periods, as it can damage the cork footbed and affect the leather's integrity.

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. Generally, conditioning every few months or when the leather appears dry is sufficient.

Oiled leather is generally durable, but it can acquire minor scratches. These often blend into the patina over time. For deeper scratches, a leather conditioner may help minimize their appearance.

The Milano sandals are designed for casual wear and offer good support. However, they are not specialized hiking footwear and may not provide adequate traction or protection for rugged terrain.

Oiled leather is treated with natural oils, giving it a more rugged appearance and allowing it to develop a unique patina. Smooth leather has a more uniform, finished look and may require different care products.

Adjust the buckles on the straps to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the ankle strap is properly fastened.

The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Apply a small amount of a specialized oiled leather conditioner using a soft cloth. Buff gently.

This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the footbed or between the leather parts.
