Why we chose it
Cork carries weight without the hollow feel of moulded foam. We disclose the binder because agglomerated cork requires one — that is honest, and still a better construction than an EVA block.
Good to know
- Agglomerated cork uses a binder; it is not a single piece of bark.
- Cork can crumble slightly at the edges over years of use.
- Heavier than foam blocks, which some practitioners prefer and others do not.
