I had given up hope of finding a shoe that would leave me pain free. As a teacher, I am on my feet all day; I realized after wearing my one pair insole of Birks sandals all summer that I hadn''t been in pain for 3 months! Needless to say, I have purchased several pairs of clogs and shoes and that''s all I wear today! In fact, a Birkenstock is shaped like a healthy footprint. A foot in a Birkenstock mens is free to function the way a foot was meant to function. And that''sthe key to keeping feet healthy and comfortable. Our famous contoured footbed was designed to recreate the experience of walking barefoot on a gently yielding surface. Do these shoes mold to my feet? The Birkenstock footbed is made of resilient cork and latex that is precisly molded to create the best possible enviroment for cushioned your feet. As you wear them, they actually adapt to your feet-and vice versa-which means that the more time you spend in Birkenstocks the more comfortable they become. Why do the straps feel so loose? Shouln''t they be tighter? Birkenstocks are meant to be worn loosely. Support comes from the footbed not tightly secured straps. Wearing them loosly allows your feet to move naturally. It also improves circulation. insole Backstraps worn to tightly push the feet forward, preventing them from resting naturally in the footbeds. Why do the soles feel so firm? mens Is there a break cushioned in period? Some people find Birkenstocks immediately comfortable. For others, it takes a few hours a day for a week or two to break them in.

The uppers will become more supple and the footbeds will adjust slightly to your feet. If your feet are unaccustomed to the contour footbed, insole start gradually. Wear your Birkenstocks no more than 1-2 hours a day for 7-14 days. Birki''s Professional Clog The Birkenstock Professional Clog is quite a different animal from he Non-Leather mens Alternatives cushioned line. Vegan and animal-free and animal-friendly, these clogs are made of a flexible polyurethane and they''re simply a wonderment insole in that they areindestructible out-of-the-box. They mens come in blue and black. I grabbed the blue. The blue is a deep, rich, hue and works well with khakis or jeans.The Professional Clog is perfect or moshing around the apartment or grunging along the garden, but their intended use is in the workplace. These clogs have a fully enclosed back. The tread is super-deep like a radial tire, and that gives you great grip and extra stability while standing or walking. The Professional Clog can replace your work shoe and provide great style and comfort if you walk or stand all day long. Birkenstock believes their Professional Clog to be perfect for chefs, gardeners, doctors and nurses. If they get dirty or muddy? Just hose them off! You can''t get simpler or more convenient care instructions than that!
