kid feet

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 feet 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.
