Papillio sandals and clogs are designed by nature and uses only the finest quality materials and design. Their footbeds are anatomically beneficial and assume the natural shape of the foot, while providing proper support. Many of their materials are natural and found in nature.
The Papillio Footbed is made from the highest quality Cork, Latex, Jute, and Suede leather. One of the great qualities of the Papillio footbed and why they use the materials they do, is that it conforms to the shape of your foot over time, becoming your own.
The cork used in the footbed construction is harvested from Cork Oak tree farms in Portugal. Cork bark is peeled away from the tree and causes no harm. The bark regenerates every 7 - 9 years and can be re-harvested. Cork protects against bacteria, is durable, elastic and shock-absorbent. The light cork is of the highest quality, it is the brightest and the most expensive available. We use this highest grade cork in our soles.
Latex is a natural product derived from the Hevea tree, grown primarily in Southeast Asia. The trees are gently tapped and the liquid latex is collected in cups. The trees are productive for many years.
Jute is another natural material, commonly known in the U.S. as burlap, is primarily grown in the tropics and is one of the most widely used materials in the world.
The Papillio suede liners are specially tanned for softness, absorbency, and comfort.
Polyurethane is an artificial component material. These two liquid chemicals are mixed together and the different mixing settings produce a variety of physical properties to work with.
