The Milano adds a third strap to keep your heel secured. AFTER your feet have adjusted to the very aggressive Birkenstock arch support, your feet will feel great. A good approach is to wear the Milano's two hours a day the first week, four hours a day the second week and all day the third week. Wearing socks (call the fashion police) will protect your feet while the straps soften up.
Use Birkenstock cork sealer every eight weeks and keep your Milano's away from water. They will provide years of service before you need to replace the cork or the outer sole.
They're aesthetically pleasing, foot hugging comfortable sandals. I am pleased I gifted this to my husband on his 40th. Nordstrom shipping service was outstanding, it arrived on time in a very neat packing. Thank you so much for making the 40th celebration special.
My husband buys a pair every year. Same shoe, same quality, same comfort. He loves them. Do not hesitate to buy. He has them on every single day it is not raining.
Sandal is the most comfortable shoe you'll ever wear. It is great for walking long distances and as you wear it, it molds to your foot for an excellent fit.
