Take Birkenstock's Arizona sandal and add a heel strap-you get the Milano model, a timeless classic with added stability. The upper is made of Birko-Flor, a durable dermoaffin material, and features a finish that resembles that of real leather. The contoured cork footbed conforms to the shape of the foot, and features a hollow at the heel and toe; the suede insole feels soft against the skin. The EVA sole absorbs shock for a lightweight, cushioned stride. Metal buckles on the upper straps and back strap allow you to adjust the fit. Made in Germany product.
