Customer Reviews Birkenstock Milano - Oiled Leather (Unisex)

Very attractive sandal. But, unlike Birkenstocks I bought in the past, the straps were so stiff and heavy that they hurt my feet. I had to return the shoes.

I wore these Birkenstocks during my college days in the Pacific Northwest. Back then I wore socks with them and maybe that's what's different now. My sensitive skin cannot take the leather rubbing against it and I'm not patient enough to let blisters heal nor do I want to go through that process as I was forced to as a child with every shoe purchase my parents made for me. I love the style of Birkenstocks and I love what they do to align my feet and give them support. Alas, I am blessed to live in a beach town and socks with Birkenstocks don't fly here like they did back in WA.

Sandal was too hard and strap didn’t support my legs when walking...

Was to large, I want to return these. I will buy a smaller shoe

I was hoping I could adjust them to fit my wide feet but no, my feet are too much for these sandals.

Nice looking shoe but a little stiff for me. I decided to go with another pair instead.

I had to buy these three times before I got the size right. They run about 1.5 sizes too big. I didn’t even end up liking the way they fit so I just let my mom have them... too embarrassed to return a third time.

The size chart recommended 44 for me (men's size 11), but it was too short. I would have been better off in a 45. However, I could not get used to the arch (and don't have time to break them in), so I will be returning them. Also, one of my heels seemed to be too narrow for the ankle strap.

These sandals felt very uncomfortable due to the combination of stiff soles and stiff leather. Maybe they'd feel better after "breaking them in," but I don't have the patience.

I've been buying this exact model in 40 regular for years. For whatever reason, this year's pair arrived with straps an inch shorter than normal. I am not sure if it was just a goofy pair or Birkenstock has changed things up. I plan to email them some pictures and measurements, so I know what is going on before I order a replacement pair.

I had to return due to them being too big, not true to size. Also they were not comfortable at all. Disappointed.

The back strap is not long enough to buckle.

Overall, the look is good, but for me the fit was not. These were too large. I would recommend sizing down for women. There is no arch support as well as an odd ridge under the toe area that felt uncomfortable. Sending back.

Very uncomfortable. Could not tolerate the break in period, but very cute.

Unable to put Sox on with shoes / leather to stiff, I think they would be better if it had a little heel lift. I’m working on getting them softer leather.

The fit was good, but the shoes started falling apart after only a few months

I wanted to love this but am returning them. The buckles do not allow for a good enough fit. If the straps had been velcro and therefore much more adjustable, these would have been a huge favorite.

The shoe was too wide. It was very uncomfortable and I needed a comfortable soft sole shoe because I am on my feet all day and needed a lot of support. My massage therapist referred these shoes for me and I am very sorry they didn't work out. I am so sorry but I think it is my feet rather than your shoe.

Ordered my normal size in Birkenstock’s. They have made the straps so short that it’s not even close to being able to buckle even if I added additional holes. My old birks have plenty of strap length. I don’t know what they are thinking! I guess I’ll look into getting my old ones resoled.

Zappos sent a semi used pair of sandals. The leather was scratched and creased. The straps were bent and creased. A foot print could be seen in the sandal. In the old days we would call this "Shopworn".

The upper strap cut into my instep painfully. I couldn't ever consider wearing these. I think it's because it's a unisex shoe; just doesn't work. Appearance is very heavy looking, leather is dark and unappealing. These would be great for my husband, just not for me!

I've ordered 2 pairs of these shoes and both came wrong! The first pair I ordered didn't even match, the left shoe was one type of leather and the right shoe was another type! What in the world. So I ordered another pair and returned those, the shoes came two days later and these shoes were super gross, clearly worn, the shoe was completely broken in, there was what looked like grease stains on the sole of the show and there was even noticeable wear on the bottom. Super gross, I was completely disgusted and appalled! I am a VIP customer and have been faithful to zappos for years, but I was extremely disappointed by the orders recently and am considering leaving zappos all together. Unless Zappos can make this up to me or fix this in some sort of way, I don't how I could order from them again.

I bought these shoes but upon receiving them was surprised at the poor, poor quality of construction. The foot bed was hard, the sole was slippery cheap feeling rubber, and the leather was thin and rigid. Not at all the quality I expected from Birkenstock. I'm not sure who would accept this level of quality, so wonder if these were made for an outlet store??? No matter, I'm sending them back.

These are really painful. They were nice for a couple days, but now there's some weird hard bulge poking into the ball of my foot that prevents me from walking in these.
