So the other day I purchased my first pair of more performance orientated shoes (Boreal Lynx). as they are close fitting compared to previous shoes iv noticed that a small air gap occurs sometimes when climbing.. then I jump of and the resultant noise can be a bit embarrassing... anyone else experience this issue?

In reply to edhawk21:

do your shoe farts smell? That is the question

My shoes do but that's another point... I should invest in some boot bananas or something really

I had a pair once that expelled a small amount of air, with associated noise as I walked, every single step. not sure which was more embarrassing. walking towards the toilet, or away from

I have experienced this before and it normally goes away once you break the shoes in a bit. If the problem worsens however, it can lead to ' shoe sharts' which really does make a mess.

In reply to edhawk21:

I've had this before. I found it to be the result of a very slightly ill fitted shoe. Not necessarily too big, just not quite the shape of my foot. Once the shoes were broken in I started wearing a super thin pair of socks which filled the tiny little areas of extra volume and the shoe felt more supportive and the shoe farts stopped. Might be worth a try!

It also stopped the shoes from smelling, which was nice.

well, someone has climbed 9a in them...

In reply to edhawk21:

I took a power drill to my la Sportiva solutions to stop this. Two 5mm holes round the disc shaped logo on the heel sorted it out and hasn't compromised the shoe in any way.

In reply to edhawk21:

In reply to the title of the thread, my first thought was, ...
... why have you been eating your shoes? , that must smell gross.
Perhaps avoid cauliflower too.
Maybe watch it also with broccoli.

In reply to Chris Harris:

there's a new aggressive downturd out called "Reekers"...

In reply to Rock to Fakey:


And what, pray tell, is a "downturd"?

Downturned shoe, my Lord.
A play on words, your Honour.
