Breathable Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

What shoe material is breathable?

Breathable shoes use materials that allow air to circulate, helping to keep your feet cool and dry. Some of the most common breathable options are mesh, leather and canvas. Mesh is often used in athletic shoes. If it's called engineered mesh, that means it provides targeted ventilation and support. In addition to the materials, the overall breathability of a shoe also depends on factors like the shoe's design, ventilation holes and the type of lining used.

Why is breathability important in shoes?

Breathable shoes create a healthier environment for your feet by allowing sweat and moisture to escape, reducing the risk of fungal infections like athlete's foot. Dampness also creates an ideal environment for bacteria, leading to unpleasant foot odour. Breathable shoes help reduce odour by keeping feet dry. Dry feet are also less prone to blisters and irritation. Breathable shoes help maintain a comfortable foot temperature, preventing either overheating or chills.

Which footwear is best for sweaty feet?

If you struggle with sweaty feet, prioritise breathability in the shoes you choose. Breathable shoes like mesh sneakers offer excellent airflow, helping to keep your feet cool and dry. High-quality leather shoes also allow your feet to breathe — especially when they're well-ventilated. Canvas shoes are a good choice for warm weather.
