The real test of good shoes is their everyday endurance over an extended period of time. I live on the mean streets of New York and The City is notorious for destroying shoes! We walk everywhere and curbs and steps and bike messengers and busses and grime and doggy dung all help promote the early death of many a pair of shoes. I''ll update this review as time goes (second brown sandal from the left) and I must say they are better in every way than the old leather version I used to wear during my university days. I say this not from the point of view of a Vegan, but from the eye of a newfound window of extreme comfort. Let me explain. The Birkenstock Non-Leather Alternatives sandals are 50% lighter than the leather version and they''re softer and silkier on your foot, too! Here''s why: Birko-Flor. Birko-Flor synthetic uppers are made of acrylic and polyamid (a polymercontaining repeated amide groups, as found in nylon) felt fibers. Birko-Flor is an oil-derivative and its polymid fibers are tightly spun to create a soft fabric that rides against your foot while a smooth, leather-like, finish brags on the outside. This combination makes for a super-strong, sharp-looking and soft sandal!Birko-Flor will not stretch, it is waterproof (beware that since it "breathes" it will take awhile to entirely dry) and they''re cheaper than the leather versions without looking cheap. The Birko-Felt is over 1/4 of an inch thick, so it''s solid and tough and won''t easily tear or discover holes. The footbed and footbed liners are identical to the Non-Leather Alternatives line. The PVC sole is a stunning white with an ordinary pattern: It''s thinner and less robust than the normal Birkenstock sole, but it feels harder and more rugged.The Birkenstock Footbed is covered with a high quality suede liner. The cork and latex mould and the suede liner are able to absorb moisture which helps to provide a very healthy footclimate and enhanced wearing comfort considerably. For hippies, granolas, tree-huggers and earth friends, the shoe of choice for over thirty years is the Birkenstock sandal. This soft-sole sandal with he moldable footbed has been the premiere in orthopedic footwear since the 18th century, and it maintains a strong toehold over 200 years later. The Birkenstock family of Germany created their first shoe business in, and by, the contoured insole would change the name of footwear forever. The specially designed insole resembled a footprint, and it would mold to the foot in a natural state. The curved insole would evenly distribute bodyweight for an orthopedically advanced support. The footwear would have remained a little-known secret had durablekidsshoe it not been for a simple housewife traveling Europe in. Experiencing foot fatigue and pain from her travels, someone suggested she try the local shoe. She did, and became suchabeliever durablekidsshoe in the benefits that she imported them to America. Lucky for her, the hippie movement was swinging into action, and Birkenstocks became the only shoe to wear (if they wore any at all). ©2003 www.sandal-shoe.com All rights reserved. |
