white shoes

no animal shoes 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 and resin. they''re also waterproof. clean them with a damp cloth. replacement liners are available. the footbeds are a cork/latex mixture and are repairable. the soles are eva (ethyl-vinyl acetate). i put white on my black milanos and hopped into the shower.i then got them entirely wet and i walked around the apartment to let shoes 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 or two of discomfort as i tried to wear away the dried line of glue along the inside of the sandal. i wore thick white socks and did my "shower treatment" a few times. after shoes a week or so of everyday white 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 are the most comfortable sandal shoes 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.
