Looking for a good comfortable minimalist-type shoe to wear around casually that wont smell bad. Right now I am wearing some old Nike Free shoes around the city and the insides of them smell HORRIBLE lol. suggestions? I was thinking of looking for some casual Saucony pro grid Jazz low shoes (not so much minimalist but cool) OR maybe Inov8 F-Lite 235's. again i wouldnt be running at all in these. this would just be a solution for something to walk around on the sidewalks in my city to do errands and hopefully not have my feet smell horrible when I take off my shoes.

So please if you can give me some suggestions? no trolling if possible (even though that's fun to do sometimes, i must admit)

Thanks guys!

Just got a pair for f-lite 230's. Great shoe for casual walking and a bit of running

re: yoyoyomama

the thing is, the more minimalist and snug-fitting you go, the more likely it may be that the things smell like *ss when you take them off at the end of a long sweaty day of walking around

thanks these look like good suggestions, plus with the runningwarehouse discount

re: nothin left to loose

Wow you're lucky. i think i got the Frees in a 9.5 when I really need a 10 plus I wear them barefoot, so that could be why they smell horrible. they need Arm&hammer Odor Eaters fast or else they are going in the trash!!! ;)

re: UUUUUUU

well yeah you can't wear shoes barefoot and expect them not to stink. If that's what you want, just wear sandles

I soaked mine in a bleach/water solution (used some kind of chlorox bleach solution, not straight bleach) for one hour yesterday, and now they smell pretty good, like well-chlorinated pool water. The bleach kills the critters that produce the smell. The Nike Frees live to fight another day.

re: UUUUUUU

The cause of your shoes smelling badly is probably not the shoe itself. Your feet are the problem most likely. So wear some effing socks.

Here's a revolutionary idea: Wash your stinkin' feet!

Stinky feet are unhealthy feet.Get your feet healthy by walking around barefoot as much as you can.If you put gloves on your hands all day long your hands would stink.Your feet and hands perspire understand

When you wear socks wear light synthetic socks that breath.Sweaty feet are the root of all stinky feet.

re: Stink Free

dude, i wish i could walk around barefoot all day but stores still require shoes to be admitted...if only they didnt require them we would all have healthier feet and fewer injuries!?!
