It’s all about proper ventilation (and embracing this season’s most dynamic footwear)

When words like “boiling” and “searing” begin filtering into your vocabulary to describe the weather, it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to keep cool. And one way to do it is by keeping your feet good and ventilated.

But since flip-flops and sandals are only really acceptable at the beach (and then just barely), the question is, how do you keep your feet cool the rest of the time? The answer: modern sneaker technology. Here, shoes that will let your feet breathe on summer’s hottest days.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Perforated Low Top

Yep, even your classic Chucks are available with breathable perforated uppers nowadays.

Adidas Deerupt Runner

Adidas’ Deerupt sneakers have a cage-like netting around them, which gives a supremely cool look to a very functional sneaker.

Nike FlyKnit Trainer

Thanks to Nike’s FlyKnit technology, you won’t have to overheat—even while keeping up with your running.

Puma Tsugi Disc Sneakers

The vibe of these Pumas is plainly futuristic. Plus, they won’t suffocate your feet.

Adidas UltraBoost Uncaged Sneakers

Getting a run in on those sweltering summer days can be brutal. Luckily Adidas UltraBoosts are just about the coolest running shoes ever.

Tod’s Perforated Suede And Leather Sneakers

Makes sense that the brand that put the suede driving shoe on the map would also excel at the other type of can’t-miss summer kicks.
