Birkibuc vs leather.
Birko flor and birkibuc are synthetic durable easy to clean developed by birkenstock as alternatives to leather.
Birkibuc also wipes clean easily with mild soap and water.
It has a durable and moisture resistant surface.
One can easily clean and condition leather with a leather balm.
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 is made from soft acrylic and polyamide felt fibres with a durable smooth leather like finish.
I ve read that the birko flor and birkibuc materials are almost as comfy as the leather but since they don t stretch the break in period could be a wee bit longer.
It s surface is durable and moisture resistant.
