Hi all.

Clearly I need to get a life beyond Vanagons and stop posting so much but....
LOL.

From what I'm reading, shoes with semi metallic linings MAY be better suited
for the Vanagon. In fact, this is likely what they came with from the factory.
In terms of Raybestos Premium shoes, in chatting with my FLAPS (Lordco Canada),
it seems there are semi-metallic available but by application, organic is likely
the only type available. And, there won't be an indication on the box
or parts as to lining material type.

More experienced folks could likely determine shoe lining material by
looking at it but the rest of us could easily unknowingly buy organic
when that MAY not the best type. e.g.

Not saying any given vendor is being misleading, just posting to help out any
other shade tree types.

Neil.
