Polyurethane: This water-and-stain-resistant material is used to create our Birki® Clogs and some of our hikingshoe soles. It''s no wonder feet are happier in Birkenstocks.It''s shock absorbing, comfortable, and durable. EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate): hikingshoe Softer and lighter than polyurethane, EVA is water and stain resistant, shock absorbing, and used to create our Birki Sport Clogs and most of our soles. I had given up hope of finding a shoe that would leave me pain free. As a teacher, I am on my feet all day; I realized after wearing my one pair of Birks sandals all summer that I hadn''t been in pain for 3 months! Needless to say, I have purchased several pairs of clogs and shoes and that''s all I wear today! In fact, a Birkenstock is shaped like a healthy footprint. A foot in a Birkenstock is free to function the way a foot was meant to function. And that''sthe key to keeping feet healthy and comfortable. hikingshoe Our famous contoured footbed was designed to recreate the experience of walking barefoot on a gently yielding surface.

As a Vegan, I''ve eschewed leather and suede and I''ve given all those shoes, bags and other items away to charity. However, some Vegans draw a line of demarcation betwixt their old lives and their new Vegan lifestyle and don''t feel the need, as I did, to destroy or abandon their previously purchased leather and suede goods. For Vegans of that persuasion,Birkenstock offers a keen Nubuck & Suede Kit consisting of a wooden, artificial bristle brush with "Birkenstock" burned into hikingshoe the discount back of the handle and a bar cleaner to erase stains. I used this product on a friend''s leather sandals and on a pair of her suede shoes. A few rubs with the eraser followed by a few flicks with the brush and the problem stains were history! The Nubuck & Suede kit will cost you around $8.00 on the street.Conclusion Birkenstock are a great company with a rich and hikingshoe wonderful history of providing comfortable and conscientious footwear selections. Their entire animal-free and cruelty-free line of products should be commended and celebrated by every Vegan alive.If you''re interested in getting details on Birkenstock''s Vegan line of products, touch here now.
