Customer Reviews Birkenstock Milano - Oiled Leather (Unisex)

The fit was just like it used to be, the comfort is another story. I have been wearing Birkenstocks for over 30 years and have never had a pair that felt so uncomfortable. The buckles were digging into my skin and it didn’t matter how loose the buckle was. The change was definitely for the worst. I ordered them right before vacation and just tried them on without walking in them, I couldn’t use them. If I saved the box I would definitely have sent them back. Will never buy again

I have owned Birkenstocks for at least 30 years, I’m assuming they have changed the way they are made I bought a new pair to take on vacation and they are so uncomfortable, I have always been able to wear Birkenstocks right out of the box and it felt like I’ve already worn them in, not this time. Unfortunately I threw the box out because I didn’t think I would have an issue otherwise I definitely wouldn’t keep them.

Love Birkenstocks for their legendary comfort and classic style. Was hoping to add the Milano sandal to my rotation but these are going back. This is the second pair of Birkenstocks I have purchased from Zappos in the past year that have had quality issues. This brand new pair of sandals has a defect on the right shoe, where the leather is pulling away from the sole. Clearly poor quality control on the part of Birkenstock or Zappos. Very disappointed. At this price, and for such a simple design, they should be flawless. Check your pair carefully upon receipt and make sure they are up to snuff!

These Birkenstocks are my very first. I have always wanted a pair but just never bought them. I am sorry to say these are too long and the leather straps across the the top of my foot are very rigid and have rubbed a blister on top of my foot. Sadly, I must return them, I am wondering if, perhaps the Rio style might be a more comfortable shoe for me since the strap across the top of the foot appears to be more distal, toward the toes rather than the arch. I ordinarily wear a 6-6.5 in women's shoes or a 4.5 in children's, so I ordered a 37. They are about an inch to long.

Overpriced and takes long to break in (seems at least 2 weeks needed of a one hour a day use before wearing for a longer period of time). After breaking in for a week and 10 hours of continuous use, ended up with scars on ankles and on top of foot where the buckles are.

I owned tatami Birks in the past and loved them. So I thought I would give these a try. I love the look, the cork foot-pad, and that they have a back heel strap. However, The top leather strap tore the skin from the tops of my feet off. I've tried tighter and looser fitting, doesn't matter. I don't recommend these.
