Narrow Cocoa Nubuck Soft Footbed Milano - Leather is a little cardboard like at first, but once you wear these a while it will loosen up. They sound like you're walking in cardboard at first too. I don't like the fact the backstrap gets loose to the point it slips down off your heel after wearing these a while, even after making the backstrap more snug, it does the same thing. I ordered these because I can't seem to keep open heeled sandals on my feet very well. I have to say, I do like the look and feel of the Milanos. The narrow version is perfect for small or smaller-medium build guys.

Love these Birkenstocks! I have multiple foot problems, and the Soft Footbed Birkenstocks are so far the most comfortable footwear I've found. I would love to have some athletic shoes with the exact same footbed.

Great Birks- This is my 3rd pair of Birkenstocks, although the first with the new soft footbed. I've got to tell you they are the most comfortable I've ever owned. Barely even needed to break them in either. Highly recommended.

Nice shoes - I haven't worn Birks for awhile, but when I put on this pair my feet where immediately comfortable. My feet are sensitive and hurt if I don't wear good shoes. Birkenstocks have never let me or my feet down. I'm moving to a city with excellent public transportation and downtown shopping. I wanted a comfortable shoe for shopping and walking to and from the bus stop. These shoes will fit the bill. As for looks, these are Birkenstocks. They're in a fashion class by themselves when you get right down to it. Which is cool.

Birkenstock Milanos are like old friends - I wore Milanos back in the '60's. It was delightful to find a soft footbed version for my old feet. They are kind to my knees also. These are just great Birkenstocks for those wanting a heel strap.

About Birkenstock
Birkenstock is based on the simple principles of health and wellness, quality workmanship and materials, and a respect for the environment. Did you know that Birkenstock created the original contoured footbed that supports and shapes to your foot when walking? And it's made of 100% natural and renewable cork. You can feel good that you are supporting your feet and the environment at the same time. You could call it sustainable comfort.
Birkenstock footwear is designed and sized to provide a roomy fit allowing your toes and feet to wiggle and be free. This sometimes takes a bit of getting used to. Also, most Birkenstock styles come in two widths: narrow and regular, so you can really find the best possible fit for your feet. For the most natural fit, your feet should rest comfortably inside the footbed and there should be about ¼” between your toes and the end of the footbed.
No other part of your body is subject to as much stress and strain as your feet and that is why it is so important to take care of them. With features like a contoured cork footbed, a deep heel cup, and a roomy toe box, Birkenstock clogs and sandals provide more than simply cushioning. Birkenstock footwear provides the perfect balance of firm support and shock resistance allowing your feet and body to be naturally supported.

My FIRST pair of Birks EVER - I was just diagnosed with planter's fasciitis along with heel spur -- and the podiatrist's recommendation -- Birkenstock Milano's! These Birks, along with my stretches, yoga, and occasional ice, have almost eliminated the problem in the past month! A lot cheaper than surgery!!!!!

Once again, Birkenstock and Zappos did not disappoint - The Milano Soft Footbed were the first pair of Birkenstock's that I purchased with the back strap and they were just as comfortable, if not more than the one's without the back strap. No break-in time was required, and I have a bunion. The adjustable straps and the soft footbed make it seem as if you are not wearing anything at all. And, thank you Zappos for continuing to give the best service ever!

Quality shoes - I have unique feet. I wear two sizes due to polio. Thanks for offering the 5 - 5.5. I have really enjoyed Birkenstock (Tatami) in the past. That style is not available to my knowledge anymore. Regarding the 7-7.5: the Milano cradle at the end of the shoe did not cradle my second & third toes. If the shoe had been flat at the end the toes would have rested fine. Also, the tab under the buckle hurt... too thick.
Brands I'd also recommend: I imagine any Birkenstock, they make quality shoes.

Foot loving shoes - From the moment I put these on my feet, they felt great. I need good arch support and a narrow fit. These fit the bill. I really like them, and would buy them again.

New Birk Fan - This is my first pair of Birks and they are growing on me. The first two times I wore them, I was not sure I was going to like them at all. My arch has fallen over the years and the excellent arch support given by these sandals actually hurt. I didn't wear them for too long at a time and I noticed that the discomfort was not lasting very long. Now they feel like slippers and I have noticed that I can walk the entire day without any discomfort in these sandals.

The perfect sandal - Having problem feet, I have searched high & low for a sandal or shoe that is completely comfortable. This is it. No need for my orthotics -- this sandal is perfect without them. I hope that Birkenstock starts making some closed shoes with the soft foot bed by the time winter rolls around again.

Walking on a cloud - I love my new Birkenstock's. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. My son bought a pair with the soft foot bed and said they were wonderful. So when I saw them in my size, color and style I got them. Boy was he right. They are wonderful.

Learning to wear the Milano Soft Footbed - After reading (from another site) that the Birkenstock sandal was designed to be loosely worn, I re-adjusted my straps, allowing more freedom of movement and have had excellent results. As a result, it does allow the foot to naturally function while walking! So, don't tighten those straps too much.

Good all purpose sandal - Overall I really like this sandal. The only real complaint I have is that after wearing them a while the straps tend to make the tops of my feet tender, almost bruised feeling.

So far, so good... I recently had bunion surgery on my feet and my podiatrist recommended that I get a new pair of Birkenstocks for my first shoe out of the post surgical boots. I decided to try the soft foot bed so that I wouldn't have the break-in that the regular Birks require. They are comfy right out of the box and are providing excellent support for my "new" feet. I might have to get another pair in a more closed style for winter. They are not the best looking shoe I've ever worn but they are functional and it’s a nice rich neutral color.

Disappointed - What a disappointment. I read all the reviews and thought these would be supportive, comfortable, and have a "soft footbed"--but NOT. The straps are stiff and uncomfortable, and the footbed is stiff and unyielding, and anything but soft. They would take weeks of breaking in. The size was not right, according to the scale, but the problems I experienced had nothing to do with them being too large. Returning!
