Birki''s Professional Clog The Birkenstock Professional Clog is quite a different animal from he Non-Leather Alternatives line. Vegan and animal-free and animal-friendly, these boot clogs are made of a flexible polyurethane and they''re simply a wonderment in that they areindestructible out-of-the-box. They come in blue and black. I grabbed the blue. The blue is a deep, rich, hue and works well with khakis or jeans.The Professional Clog ankle is perfect or moshing around the apartment or grunging along the garden, but their intended use is in the workplace. These clogs have a fully enclosed back. The tread is super-deep like a radial tire, and that gives you great grip and extra high stability while standing or walking. The Professional Clog can replace your work shoe and provide great style and comfort if you walk or stand all day long. Birkenstock believes their Professional boot Clog to be perfect for chefs, gardeners, doctors and nurses. If they get dirty or muddy? Just hose them off! You can''t get simpler or more convenient care instructions than that! The removable footbed is contoured like all Birkenstocks and is made of a tough polyurethane that will stand up to regular washings and extended wear.

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 ankle 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 high 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, boot and it would mold to ankle the foot in a natural state. The curved insole would evenly high distribute bodyweight for an orthopedically advanced support. The footwear would have remained a little-known secret had it not been for a simple housewife traveling Europe in. Experiencing foot fatigue and pain from her travels, someone suggested she try the boot local shoe. She did, and became suchabeliever 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).
