Reasonably priced ballet pumps that don't make my feet stink?

I practically live in ballet pumps but finding a breathable pair seems impossible. You'd think they would all be breathable but most seem to make my feet absolutely stink. Blush

So, can anyone recommend any that I won't make me worry I'm stinking a room out? I'm on more of a high street budget than a designer one.

If you wear them with bare feet, they going to stink! That's why I only buy £6 Primark jobbies then toss and replace!

Clarkes?

Yep, thats why i go for the Asda £7 ones and put them out to pasture as they become a bit less fresh.

i had some lovely academic ballerina ones from Office which did not stink, but they don't seem to do them anymore

Primark for me too. I pay £6, and wear every day for about.six weeks then get a new pair.

Don't buy a cheap pair that is why they get smelly because they are synthetic material and make your feet sweat! Smile

try leather pumps, or at least leather insoles ?

LadySybilPussPolham · 07/10/2013 16:56

I've got some Sole Survivors from Next. They've got a soft, cushioned leather insole and don't smell at all. Bought over a year ago for around £40; they're great Grin

Or try some of those little shoe liner sock things? Someone must know what I mean from that terrible description Blush

YourHandInMyHand · 07/10/2013 20:29

I always buy super super cheap ones (eg primark or new look sale) and did think they were probably sweaty due to being synthetic.

Doesn't everyone wear ballet pumps with bare feet? I mean you're not going to wear them with socks are you?? Confused

I have croc ones:

I've lived in them all summer and they don't smell at all. Would totally recommend, they are so comfy as well.

zombiesheep · 07/10/2013 22:56

Wear pop socks :)

KatoPotato · 07/10/2013 23:03

OP I wear mine with bare feet, and they get v pongy!

omuwalamulungi · 07/10/2013 23:04

Topshop leather ones, £16 and they have a few colours. I wear them with insoles and if they get a bit smelly I just change the insole :)
