Milano Bold Buckle Sandal

These are must have for bold, versatile and classy men. It was love at unboxing. Not your regular Birkenstock - the craftsmanship of this sandals are simply out of this world. Getting your real size makes a difference with this sandals as with any Birkenstocks depending on how you want a particular item to fit you and the occasion for which you would be wearing them. For this sandals, you wanna go half size (0.5) down for a grip fit. For instance my regular size is 9 and I went for the size range of 8-8.5 per the sizing guides since this is how this is sized. I have the Birkenstock Tokyo super grip clog shoes, because those I wear in the cold months with very thick socks, I got the 9-9.5 Birkenstock sizing range guide for the clog. So, when buying Birkenstock shoes, you have to consider the occasion for wearing them and that will determine how you get a perfect fit. This sandals exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend, especially in black. The black color has 85% of black hue, while retaining about 15% dark chocolate brown hue, making it blend and well accentuated with the gold hardware buckles. I would not go for any other color than the black.

The side leather straps are falling off from the bed on both sides due to poor glue job. Had to return.

Shoes were great, but who decided to place the inventory sticker on suede?! It ruined the shoe (see pic). Not only is it sticky but in order to remove it, the lining peels off with it. This is not the first time I’ve returns a shoe because it was damaged by the employee, which is unfortunate and completely avoidable.
