Hello all, I recently conducted a survey through another website and found out that Ballet flats are the most popular shoes around at the moment and also in my finding of 400 women surveyed they are the easiest shoe to create an aroma, what I mean is they will make your feet sweat more than any other shoe.
Some of the women questioned had 0% smelly feet but after wearing these shoes daily and for long periods even the unsmelliest of feet had slight smell. Not a complete survey by any means but 400 answers was some idea of how these shoes smell, many said that they are so comfortable that they wear them too much and also they do not protect your feet when you are out and about. I love them the sweatier the better!

i'll suggest a counter theory to your data..... the reason why there is more scent for these types of shoes is due to the fact that they wear them a lot more than any other shoe.. hence.. more scent.
back in the 50's when high heels were at their peak... the same would have been said of pumps over any other shoe (don't have a reference anymore on that.. lost it on my first hard-drive).
what you wear more will smell more.. in terms of footwear. and ballet flats get over used.. and hence more smell to them.
the amount of sweat produced by feet is a product of heat regulation from the body and the ability to release it via evaporation. the more confined the area of skin.. the more sweat retention.....a shoe that covers more of the foot and breaths less will hold more sweat.. and if the person is feeling warmish or hot.. they produce more sweat.
RPM
p.s. just trying to sound nerdy.. not discrediting your findings

I would really like to make another practical experiment (and I bet I ain't the only one ) . Maybe my nose being one of the judges

I was on Yahoo Answers earlier, and I was surprised when I did a search of ballet flats and how many questions girls asked about stopping them from smelling so bad!

i think they're cute, kinda the "retro" look amongst chicks that have brought back the 70s over the past couple years. i can't say i've experienced the smell of any but i imagine it would be nice since they're mostly made out of...whatever the hell that material is. i can picture it but i don't know what it's called!

Hi boys . Just stopping by to see how things are doing around here. I must say though more than anything else now a days, I wear ballet flats. I have a pair from Donald J Pliner that I swear by!

Nice to see you pop back on the board after a 1 year abscence!
A girl I used to see back in the 80s in college wore the ballet flats some times. They did hold an aroma much stronger than any pumps, flats, or sandals she owned!
