The Bendable Base has a ¼” Strip of polyurethane that goes thru the wooden base, at the ball of the foot. This allows the base to bend slightly.

We can not staple this strip, so that explains the missing staples.

Doctors, Nurses, and Chefs; people who are on their feet all day tend to order Bendable bases.

The Bendable Base is available in a Austrian 2” Low Heel (#63) and a Austrian 2 ¾” Medium Heel (#623).

The Non Bendable Base is completely made from wood.
We have a Swedish/Brittany 2” Low Heel Non Bendable Base (#113)
And an Austrian 2” Low Heel Non-Bendable Base (#13)

Pictured bases: Natural Base, Brown Base and Black Base.
