Oiled leather is supple but the inside can be rough and the edges of the straps can be sharp until you ve put a lot of miles on them.
I didn t really have that issue with the birko flor pair i own.
Birkoflor is synthetic and doesn t improve with age.
So i ve been looking to get a pair of birkenstocks online and there s a discount code that expires today so i won t be able to try them on feel them in person.
I read the descriptions for birkibuc birkoflor and they weren t very clear.
You configure the straps to the width of your foot and you are all set.
I have both and they both have their advantages but i imagine you are talking about getting your first pair of birkenstock or you probably wouldn t be asking.
Birko flor combined fleece inners keep your feet feeling soft against the uppers and an easy to clean pvc outer synthetic gives a little texture and appeal to the upper.
Of course leather will break in over time and will improve with age.
The birko flor is immediately soft and comfortable while the leather takes some time to break in and always rubs uncomfortably on parts of my feet when i first wear them.
The arizona style seems much comfier i could never get on with madrids.
The birko flor material does not stretch like leather.
Smooth vinyl with a compressed felt backing.
Clean with a wet washcloth.
For those who want to know the birko flor refers to the vegan nature of the leather uppers.
Birko felt is a synthetic fiber and rayon blend which is soft but washable while birko nubuk resembles nubuk leather but is made from synthetic materials.
They regularly get chucked in the washing machine as well and come out good as new.
Birko flor is made from soft acrylic and polyamide felt fibres with a durable smooth leather like finish.
Making it fairly easy to wear right out of the box without risking blisters like with the leather.
Birko flor is very soft on your foot because there is a lining of fleece on the underside.
Doesn t stretch or fade.
It does seem to give a bit even though man made and one of my pairs is into their third year of wearing.
For a first pair i always recommend the leather soft footbed arizona style in a neu.
Acrylic polyamide with felt backing.
