No animal byproducts are found in the air 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 cushion and they''re free of chlorine, chromium, fat and resin. They''re also insoles waterproof. Clean them with a air damp cloth. Replacement liners are available. The footbeds are a cork/latex mixture and cushion 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 insoles 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 air 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 socks and did my "shower 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 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. I strongly suggest you drop down a size if you decide to get a pair of the Birki Professional Clogs -- they run really, really, big. While that may be the style of a clog, if you''re like me, you won''t like the slipping and swimming your foot will do in these clogs if you order the same size you wear as in, say, the Non-Leather Alternative style. If you wear a 42, buy a 41. I promise you''ll feel safer and more secure even though these Professional Clogs are designed to wear big.There''s no glue to be found, so that issue is not applicable to these cushion and insoles clogs. The Birki''s Professional Clog will cost you around $72.00 on the street. Birkenstock House Clog The Birkenstock House Clog is air warm and wonderful and it is made of Birko-Felt. cushion and insoles The Birko-Felt uppers have the look and feel of cashmere or soft air suede on your foot while being animal-friendly and animal-free. cushion This felt-like House Clog is the perfect shoe insoles for wearing around the home because of its pure comfort and smart design.You won''t need a sock on the coldest days since more than half of your foot is kept warm and succulent in the Birko-Felt orum.The House air Clog is so warm, in fact, that you feet can start to sweat if you exercise in these good looking foot huggers. I have just received my first pair of shoes and I love them. I am a adult and I cushion weara size 2 1/2 wide (33N in Birkenstock insoles kids shoes)and it is very hard to find air shoes that cushion are comfortable. I hope that Birkenstock will make more styles available, in my size, cause I have seen some styles I would really like to wear. Thanks Birkenstock insoles for making my feet happy. air pain free from platar fasciatis! highly recommend london or paris enclosed shoe.I have a problem with my feet, and since I have been wearing birkenstocks, I feel great! I also developed a heel spur and since I have been wearing the shoes, cushion its totally gone!!I can''t say enought about the insoles shoes...They are awesome!!!! Basically all I wear is Birkenstocks because it last year and wished they made golf shoes every round. I love Birkenstocks. I have wide feet and a bad back. These shoes allow me to walk are great.
