FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
While the EVA outsole is water-resistant, the cork footbed should not be submerged in water or left wet for long periods.
Do I need to size up for the Milano?
Birkenstocks generally run true to size, but the anatomical design means they may feel different from standard shoes; rely on the UK sizing provided.
How long does it take to break them in?
Most users find that the footbed conforms to their feet after 1-2 weeks of consistent wear.
Can I replace the straps?
The straps are permanently attached to the footbed; care should be taken to avoid pulling or snagging them.
Where are these sandals made?
These sandals are crafted in Germany, adhering to strict manufacturing quality standards.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Milano is designed as a unisex sandal suitable for all adult foot types.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal; wear them for short intervals (1-2 hours) daily to allow the cork to mold to your foot shape.
Sandals are making a squeaking noise
Ensure the footbed is clean and dry; a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes resolve friction noises.
Buckle feels loose
Adjust the strap to the next hole to ensure a tighter, more secure fit against the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks maintain their quality, start by adjusting all three straps while sitting. The straps should be snug enough to hold the sandal firmly to your foot without cutting off circulation. Regarding care, keep your sandals away from extreme heat sources like radiators or direct sun for extended periods, as this can damage the cork. To clean the insole, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. If the cork sides become dry over time, a thin coat of cork sealer can help restore the finish.
