Customer Reviews Birkenstock Milano Rugged

doesn’t fly off your feet like the Arizona. heavier, but really substantial with new soles. it’s a winner.

The soft footbed is comfortable. The straps make walking secure. I like the look. No rubs from the new leather straps. Due to my neuromas.

Been wearing Birks for over 30 years but they are not the quality they used to be. Bought Milano CT's and they failed within 4 months. Back ankle strap was made from thin inferior leather and would not stay on my ankle even after creating a new hole, but even worse, the leather tore on the side from where it adheres to the seam between the footbed and sole, again because of thin leather. I even sent pictures to Birkenstock and they accused me of making up a story and saying they were torn from an exterior source. Birkenstock does not stand behind their sandals and they use inferior grades of leather.

The fit was as expected and the width was great. I gave the comfort 4 stars because I prefer the soft footbed but that is just a personal thing. It just means that it is going to take a bit longer to break them in.

My Husband LOVES these! He is a die-hard Birkenstock fan, but when ordering, I decided to take a little adventure from his normal Arizona. Well, it worked! He hasn't stopped wearing them since they were delivered.

Great sandal for a wide width, but way too wide for a thinner foot. My husband was able to adjust the straps to fit across his foot, but the footbed is so wide he could’ve fit both feet side by side in one shoe. He wears a 12 and the length was okay, maybe 1/2 size too long.

Owed Birkenstocks for better part of 20 years now. This new take on the Milano is fantastic. They are a little bit heavier but I think you can expect a much longer life span on the soles. I will say I have ALWAYS worn a 41 and these I had to go down to a 40 so you may want go size smaller.

I've been needing a serious grown-up pair of sandals for years. I am always hesitant to try shoes that don't come in a wide width, but I finally gave Birkenstocks a go. I am happy they have the Milano model with the back strap, as that has always been an important feature to me. I wear a 10 4E in New Balance and these fit great! Definitely use the actual foot measurement guide if you can find one - according to the chart a 10 is a 43 but according to measurements my foot is a 42 (which corresponds to a men's 9), and that is spot on. This sandal is plenty wide with the adjustable straps. So far there has been no chafing or anything, and they are comfortable enough to walk the dogs on pavement. They do feel a bit heavy - but that's compared to my spritely tennis shoes. Treat yourself to a pair of Birkenstocks, even fat feet deserve to look and feel good!

Second pair as the first lost a rivet after wearing them once. Feels just a little larger but very comfortable with straps adjusted. Great arch support. Highly recommend.

These are great sandals. The leather is soft, the footbed is very supportive and the sole appears to be grippy. Having said that, I tried my normal size in Birkenstock and found them to be too large. I ordered the next size down and they were fine in length but too narrow. Sadly, I had to return them. I feel like these would have been great sandals if I could have found the right size for me. Thanks for the great service Zappos!

All is great

Love the Rugged version of all the Birks. I am hard on my shoes and these are just as comfortable as the original but much more durable. They are heavier, but I am fine with it.

I've been wearing Birks for decades. This iteration of the Milano is true to its name. I wore it all summer and well into fall because it felt better walking up and down hills and everywhere, every day and in every way. Absolutely and unreservedly recommend!

I lie this rugged sandal. I wear it for my summer morning walks every day of the week and it keeps my feet feeling great. The only irritation is the occasional bit of grass or dirt that sneaks in; but, hey, that is the nature of a sandal.

Very comfortable to wear right out of the box.

Wear a US 7.5 for sandals and other slip-ons. In this case, the Birks were a full size larger. Great shoe, but will exchange for the 6 - 6.5 size.

Great fit, and excellent arch support. Shoes is great!

The sandals fit perfectly and they look great. I love the tough treading on the soles. Very high quality.

Really love these sandals. They are more like the old Birki style but with more arch support. I really appreciate that because the Birki had a wider heel. It seems that Birkenstock footbeds are getting more and more narrow in that area and causes pain for those of us with a wide heel. They seem to run a tad bigger as well but not so much that I would size down. The rugged soles make a much smoother stride because I don’t feel the ground pounding against the bottom of my feet. My heel spurs and plantar fasciitis appreciate that.

good

The fit is snug and true to size. The material is soft yet sturdy. After a little breaking in, it feels pretty awesome wearing these Berks.

I wish they would make smaller sizes.

These sandals fit fine and looked great. My problem with them was in putting them on. I wish the strap around the heel had velcro instead of a buckle. I like the buckles over the foot and do not have a problem with them. I also have the Arizona sandals and I like them but I thought the Milano's might stay on a little better for every day wear.

I love these shoes. A joy to wear

great product very happy with the quality
