The combination of summer heat and closed-toe shoes can spell disaster real quick. Excessive moisture from triple-digit temperatures then layered with socks then layered with damp, dark, sometimes airless space inside of your shoes often makes for a stinky, sweaty, uncomfortable situation. Sure, you can use shoe deodorants or antifungal powder, but if your sneakers aren’t constructed out of antimicrobial and breathable materials, you’re going to run into the same, smelly issues over and over again. Your best bet? Odorless shoes which—surprise!—do actually exist.

As you can glean from the moniker, odorless sneakers don’t cling to those cheesy feet smells that make you cringe when you go to put them on. Instead, they’re made from breathable, antimicrobial fabrics that give your feet room to breathe, keeping both feet and sneakers smelling fresher than daisies.

“The ideal athletic shoe has a mesh upper that allows for the moisture to evaporate,” Alex Kor, DPM, MS, a podiatrist based in Indiana, previously told W+G. “For certain athletic activities, canvas shoes that are washable can be of help as well. Some leather shoes also breathe well.”

Experts say, typically, natural fabrics, like cotton, wool, and bamboo, stave off odors better than synthetic materials, like polyester and Lycra. If your sneakers are synthetic, look for features that help ventilate air, like mesh or perforated uppers. Some odor-repelling sneakers (and socks, which you should wear with sneakers!) even have threads of copper or silver to neutralize bad smells and kill bacteria.

A lot goes into avoiding smelly feet and foul-smelling sneakers, but one of the best things you can do is wear a pair of breathable and anti-microbial kicks. Here are some pairs that don’t stink (pun intended).

Thousand Fell, Lace Up Shoes — $125.00

Sizes available: 5-10, in half sizes

Go about your day sweat- and stink-free in Thousand Fell’s Lace Up Shoes. These simple-yet-stylish kicks are perfect for summer, particularly on the odor-repelling front. Featuring a mesh liner that’s been coated with aloe vera, the lace-up shoes are breathable and wicks moisture away from feet as to not cling to funky stenches. Another notable feature is the easy-to-clean outer—which is made of recycled plastics and corn waste—so that your shoes don’t wreak of whatever you step on.

I’ve personally tested these shoes for a week and can safely say no stinky feet over here, especially in the sweltering Texas heat. I particularly like the blend of synthetic and natural touches, specifically the airy foam (which is made from castor beans) and the bioleather uppers (which are scuff-proof, too.) Stylish, eco-friendly, and ridiculously comfortable, you won’t want to take them off.
