Latex is a chemical substance which is used to create rubber. Natural latex is obtained from the sap of certain plants and can be later vulcanized and finished into a variety of products. Latex materials are known to have many applications especially in the footwear industry where they can be used to make shoe insoles and outsoles to add flexibility and extra cushioning.
About Walking Sandals:
Walking sandals are sandals designed to provide comfort and support during short or long distance walks or during all-day city touring. Many walking sandals have technical features found in good athletic shoes like contoured, anatomic footbeds and cushioned, supportive midsoles that provide good motion control and stability. The interior of the straps is often lined with a padded material that helps prevent excess rubbing and blisters.

This is my 3rd pair of Mephisto's and love the silver skin pattern. So much fun. My size 11/41 pronating, plantar facitis feet love these shoes. Great arch support and love that you can adjust the strap over the bridge of your foot too. Definitely would recommend this shoe to others...and have.
