shoe size conversion

no animal byproducts are found in the non-leather alternatives line. the footbed liner is made of birkolon (chemically stable "velon" -- a cotton and polyester weave). the footbed liners are dipped in polyurethane and they''re free of chlorine, chromium, fat size and resin. they''re also waterproof. clean them with a damp cloth. replacement liners are conversion available. the footbeds are a cork/latex mixture and are repairable. the soles are eva (ethyl-vinyl acetate). i put on my black milanos and hopped into the shower.i then got them entirely wet and i walked around the apartment to let the birko-flor uppers mold to the contours of my feet as they dried. i now have a "perfect fit" that molds to the contour of my feet -- an impossible feat for leather to imitate. beware that, unlike the leather versions, the glue used to bind the birko-flor to the footbed sides dries hard along the arch because it can''t "sink in" to the birko-flor as it can with leather. i confess to a moment shoe or two of size discomfort as i tried to wear away the dried line of glue along the inside of the sandal. i wore thick socks and did my "shower conversion treatment" a few times. after a week or so of everyday wear, the extra glue became more malleable and i can now go barefoot in my birkenstock once again without brittle glue pain. the birkenstock non-leather alternatives shoe and size are the most comfortable sandal or shoe i''ve ever had the pleasure to wear or own despite the initial hard glue issue and they''ll cost you around $70.00 on the street.
