    Hi there, I recently purchased some shoes from Amazon. Can anyone tell me what you think the mesh is made of? And do you think this mesh is made 100% of that type of fabric/material?

    Didn't the item have the fabric content on the sale site?

    Nope, otherwise I wouldn't be asking.

    I would post your question on Amazon to the item page - frequently, the company who is the seller monitors Q&As and answers what they can. No way to tell solely by looking at photos IMO. Feeling with fingers can be helpful, but not foolproof either. With a vintage garment that is unlabeled, I can get additional information by doing a fiber burn test with a bit of fabric snipped from an inside seam. You probably have nowhere to snip, and a lot of these kinds of textiles are synthetic blends.

    Flyknits vary according to manufacturer - Nike originated the material and I believe it's essentially Lycra.
