Good Grief my Birkenstocks are HUMMING

Received a lovely new pair of the vegan Birkenstock closed-toe clog style shoes in late summer. I wear them as slippers.

I have never been particularly honking of foot. My running shoes, previous slippers etc have never been offensive.

Now, these slippers may look naice, but they're so whiffy. Especially as they're not particularly worn.

Do you think it's because they're the vegan ones? Anyone else having the same issue?

I'm genuinely considering selling them on ebay to a smelly foot fan as they offend me.

Yeah not breathable like leather...you'll probably get athletes foot, too #eeyore

And here was me thinking I was being more eco-friendly... by polluting my own household.

Ikwym. I have a feeling that the process to manufacture vegan leather isn't any better pollution wise than real leather.
Obvs no animals need to die.

Wipe them with surgical spirit and let it dry. It stinks too but takes away the feet smell

Oh and the smell of the surgical spirit goes away too. You're not left with a new stink to contend with
