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 jasperbeigesuedenylonhikingboot glue issues rears its wild head again here as a hard line of glue pokes out jasperbeigesuedenylonhikingboot from the Birko-Felt along the archline. After a week of working with the clog in socks, the glue softened up again and became less sharp. I didn''t jump into the shower to break in these clogs since great amounts of water like that would, in my opinion, ruin them beyond repair. The Birkenstock House Clog will cost you around $90.00 on the street.The Classic Birkenstock Sock What can I say about the Classic Birkenstock Sock except that it''s the best pair of socks I''ve ever had the pleasure of sliding on my foot!That isn''t hyperbole.It''s the simple and honest truth. These socks are absorbent. Thick. Soft. They''re perfect for helping wear down wide variety of colors and they''re made of 68% cotton, 30% polyester and 2% lycra. Your feet won''t sweat or feel heavy in these heavenlies.I think they add a half-size to your foot in your shoe. The Classic Birkenstock Sock will cost you around $10.00 on the street. | ||||||||||
