Why We Love This Deal
For most of the 20th century, Birkenstocks were the shoe of health food stores and hiking trails, embraced by those who valued function over fashion. By the 2010s, however, the brand had been fully reclaimed by the fashion world, landing on runway models and the feet of celebrities. Because of demand, deals are rare, but right now, there's a nice pair of sandals for over $100 off at Nordstrom Rack.
Normally priced at $220, the Birkenstock Milano Bold Buckle Sandals are now just $97 at the Rack. The black sandals are going for that $97 sale price, but sizes are going fast. The brown sandals are also on sale for $2 more and have more sizes to choose from at the moment.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Upper: Aniline leather with brass buckles
- Footbed: Cork-latex with suede lining
- Sole: Rubber
- Origin: Germany
- Best For: Everyday wear, warm weather, all-day comfort
The Milano is the brand’s classic Arizona sandal with a backstrap added for more support, while still providing that iconic cork footbed that molds to your feet. The “bold” part of this silhouette comes from the perforations on the upper, which definitely look unique, but they also add breathability you don’t get in a lot of other sandals.
For $97, you’re getting handmade German sandals with a genuine cork footbed for less than half the asking price (something that seldom happens with Birkenstock). If you’re the kind of person who invests in quality basics, lives in sandals from May through October, and wants something that gets comfier the longer you wear it, these might be the last pair of sandals you buy for a while.

What Shoppers Are Saying
While reviews are on the lighter side, one reviewer wrote a lengthy five-star review, noting that the sandals “exude luxury and attitude.” They also wrote, “The craftsmanship of these sandals is simply out of this world.”
These are definitely a more unique take on the brand’s typical silhouette, and the perforations (along with the ankle strap) make these a great pick if you want a more practical version of the usual Birkenstock style.
The Birkenstock Milano Bold Buckle Sandals are available now for $97. Just be sure to jump on this deal soon, because Birkenstock deals this big tend to sell out very fast.
