What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"This is one of the best starter sandals because the backstrap and hook-and-loop closure keep it secure on little feet. The cork-latex footbed gives real support as they grow, and the materials hold up to plenty of playtime."The Milano Hook & Loop Sandal is built to support little feet through big days of play. Birkenstock’s legendary cork-latex footbed cradles the heel and arches, encouraging natural movement and healthy development from the ground up. Two adjustable straps up front and a hook-and-loop backstrap make it easy to get a snug, stay-put fit—even for wiggly toddlers. The Birko-Flor Nubuk upper has the look and softness of leather while being durable and easy to clean, so parents can count on long-lasting wear. With a cushioned EVA outsole and sturdy construction, the Milano HL is ready to keep up with curious toddlers as they run, climb, and explore.
