Farty Birkenstocks!

15 replies

Right I will try again I really need to stop my Birkies farting. I get a sort of sucky farting noise from the arch of my foot creating a suction with the insole.

I am not prepared to resign a £30 pair of lovely pink flowery sandals to being restricted to the garden and house, I wore them out today and had to chat constantly to cover up the noises.

Come on there must be a way to stop the noises .

I might try the talc, I got the type that don't flap as I had a pair that do and I had to curl up my toes to keep them on and the slapping noise is almost as bad as the farting, they did that a bit to . I couldn't really wlk in those ones but these are so comfy even though they are a little big, its true you do have to come down a size I just came down the half.

NO ebay seller, but they are new, the arch of my feet form a suction.

dhs fart but his fart from the heel!?

we just laugh!

LOL! Just wondered, I very sadly watched the Birkenstock item on QVC whilst doing the ironing one day, they had loads of lovely flowery ones, some of them QVC exclusives, almost had me reaching for the credit card until I remember I had three pairs already and there are only so many pairs of Birkies a girl can wear. I don't have flowery ones or ones that fart though!

LOL mine dont fart maybe you eat too many veggies? what style are they?, mine are Madrid or something, & they need very little flop control. Maybe you have soggy toe syndrome! aaahh Birkies are lovely tho even with the trafs!

MrsSpoon · 05/08/2006 22:54

Mine are the florida shape, my design isn't there I liked them because they have pink foot beds and a dark sole, I always think it is silly to have a white sole.

They fart even when feet aren't sweaty but are even worse when they are.
