Well do they?

I have some Birkenstok sandals that fart horibly when I walk, I love them though but so bad I can't wear them out.

So what I need to know, is it my lovely smooth feet, the style of sandals, the brand of sandals or what?

I need summer shoes and I love this kins of style, bt I don't want weird looks from everyone I fart past.

HELP .

I know its a bit early but I want to get a pair before the one day of sunshine comes and goes.

I don't hear other people farting about, so why me. Will all sandals fart on me or is it worth trying others.

I dunno, I've only seen the adverts, but there's this really petite attractive posh girl saying "I daren't join in for fear of farting at people" and then she breaks down in tears

Shouldn't laugh really

I had a pair of farty trainers. But the farting was caused by the shoe itself where rubber pushed against rubber, not sweaty feet.

Talcum powder in shoe works every time for that. It could just help your 'problem'?

I had a pair of birkenstock type sandals from Clarks and they farted too! I think that style just doesn't work on some feet! I junked mine after one wear! (they were in the sale)

MIne weren't in the sale so I now have a fairly pricey pair of slippers .

It is my foot creating a suction that makes the noise and not the layers in the sandal.

What on earth am I supposed to wear for my hoildays then, I really liked them. I even tried carving grooves in the footbed to stop the suction but didn't work, I might try the talk, don't have any so I will buy so left over christmas talk. So I might end up farting and puffing white clouds as I go.

Thankfullu no sharting.
