Polyurethane: This water-and-stain-resistant material is used workboots to create our Birki® Clogs and some of our soles. It''s no wonder feet are happier in Birkenstocks.It''s shock absorbing, comfortable, and durable. EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate): 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 workboots 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 workboots shoes workboots 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. Our famous contoured footbed was designed to recreate the experience of walking barefoot on a gently yielding surface.

I just wanted to let you know that you have gained a new faithful customer. I recently ordered a pair of London''s. I was very pleased with the person who took my order-his advice washelpful. And the 30 day return policy which is longer than many places. I''ve worn birkenstocks for many years, however after workboots receiving back surgery, they workboots are the only shoes that my feet will comfortably wear. I was introduced workboots to Birks thru a friend 10 years ago at college. workboots The sandals are BEST ones ever. I can have my feet relaxed, even standing long. They have an unique perfect arch that I have been searching for a different brand kind of shoes. There''snone that I can find one. Also, Birks are great for a very humid climate, even on a crowded bus. They are very tough and capable to last for decades as long as they''re not get soaked. My husband refused to own Birks due to the cost. I got him one and he said,"WOW". Now, I have 4 pairs in order to get them matched to my wardrobe. Hi, I just ordered 2 pairs of shoes (boston and milano) on Friday afternoon and I received them on Saturday afternoon! I just couldn''t believe it. Keep up the good work!!! After knee surgery 6 years ago and daily swelling since.

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 workboots 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 workboots 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.
