Birkenstock Men's 'Milano' Cocoa Nubuck Sandals

The shoes fit. Straps are thick and not easy to work with, but needed max tightening to fit. I haven't worn the shoes regularly so I can't evaluate long term features, but they are comfortable.

I've been looking for a pair of Milans for years, but could never justify paying over $100 for sandals. This was the best price I've seen anywhere and decided it was time. The leather is a bit stiff and will take some time to break in, but I figure that will happen just about the same time that the footbeds are formed to my feet too. And then they will last a lifetime.

These were a real value!! Excellent service as usual.

I have a very high arch in my foot. The well-known issue of arch support is one excellent reason to wear these shoes. But the high arch also means that many shoes put pressure on the upper side of the foot, which over time can irritate the nerves. These shoes take off the pressure. I try to wear them almost every day. Usually I can keep wearing them most of the time through November and start again by February, and my feet feel great. They also save me lots of time when I'm in a hurry--no need to find a matching pair of socks or to sit down to tie my shoes. A shoe repair shop can replace the rubber sole for less than half the price of the shoes, so a pair can last several years if one cares for the form fitting cork so that it does not break down. With almost constant wear, I can use a pair for several years. The price here at Overstock was outstanding. I'll definitely look here again when I need a new pair.
