This is a grain leather that has been slightly brushed on the surface to create a very fine velvet-like appearance. The texture of nubuck is finer than suede.
About Slides:
Slides are a sandal in which the upper does not extend to cover the heel of the foot. The wearer of slides can simply slip on the shoe without having to tie, strap, or buckle it to secure.

This is my second pair of this style shoe. The cost is a little steep for me buty last pair lasted 5 or 6 years of heavy wear. Plus ... with the crystal details, they can be dressed up or down.

Birkenstock Florida Nubuck with Soft Footbed lovin the soft footbed
November 05, 2012
Reviewer: Debbie from St. louis MO
I ordered the Florida in black nubuck in size 38 R. I always wear a 38 in the Papillio and the birki shoes but the "Birkenstock" ran a little shorter and narrower. I exchanged them for a 39 R in the cocoa brown and they fit fine. Also the straps on the Black pair seemed really rough on the edges. The brown straps seem a little softer and I expect they will soften even more over time. This is my first pair with real leather straps, and the soft footbed but I know I will be ordering others in the future.
