These Birks have a smooth, breathable, leather-lined foot bed (not suede-lined like most Birks) that wicks away moisture. These footbeds don’t tend to mold to your feet as much as the suede-lined footbeds, so although they were worn fairly often, they never really molded to my feet. Buckle marks and some other wear on straps— see pictures. Soles have plenty of life left, (walk on the outsides of my feet, much?) and cork still sealed and intact.
