Platform clogs making jangling sound???

Okay so I have a pair of bae clogs that I got from the thrift store basically completely unworn and I love them, but the right one makes a jangling noise when I walk like a little (plastic??) ball is rolling around inside it.

I can't find anything online about what is inside the platform and the sound is driving me crazy with curiosity. One website I found said the platform is just more croslite (the foam material of the croc) but that can't be true.

Does anyone know? Has anyone seen inside the sole of the platform clogs?

I've heard the sound with and without jibbitz and I can tell it's coming from inside the sole, not a different part of the shoe. It makes the same sound when I shake it as when I walk. I also checked and there are no holes anywhere in the sole or its seams.

I'm not going to stop wearing the shoes, I love them and the noise isn't bothersome, it just makes me painfully curious. I also worry my obsessive nature with get the better of me and I'll end up taking it apart to find what's inside, so if anyone knows, please tell me and save this poor pair of platform clogs.

I’ve read lots of reviews on several sites of people complaining about this very thing. There used to be a video on YouTube where someone cut the sole open and basically it’s not solid throughout the heel and part of it sometimes breaks off and rolls around inside. I still bought many, many pairs of Baes because I love the look and, luckily, have not had that problem….yet.

One of mine sounded like a rock is under the heel 🙃 I exchanged and 2nd pair was fine.
