10 Stylish Shoes You Can Wear Without Socks

Hate wearing socks with shoes? I’m with you. But most sockless shoe styles hold moisture and make your feet smell after a few wears. That’s why these 10 shoes are so special. Some are lace-up and some are slip-on, but they’re all stylish—and none of them will make your feet stick.

Sanuk Bianca Perf

The attractive Oxford-style Sanuk Bianca Perf shoes take up minimal space in a suitcase and are perfect for when you need to dress up a casual outfit. The perforated detailing and microfiber covered PU footbed with antimicrobial additive prevents your feet from smelling. And, the yoga mat heel pod, found on most Sanuk styles, lends extra comfort.

 Price and Where to Buy: $45 on Amazon.

Crocs Beach Line Canvas Slip-On

Despite their name, Crocs Beach Line Canvas Slip-Ons can be worn many places beyond the beach. Their canvas style gives off a casual vibe, but they look great with khakis and jeans, too. The side vents and Croslite foam cushion allow for breathability, which means stink-free feet and comfort.

Price and Where to Buy: $43 on Amazon.

Hush Puppies Sebeka Piper

OluKai Nohea Lace Leather Mesh

Sanuk Isabel Prints

Suavs Original Slip-On

The Suavs Original Slip-On shoes might actually might be the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever tried, and they go with everything from dresses to a t-shirt and jeans. Their versatility doesn’t end there, either. The soft and stretchy material adjusts to your foot, and the rubber sole bends with your foot’s movement. Plus, the insole is made from a microfiber terry fabric that absorbs all moisture, so you won’t have stinky, sweaty feet. There’s even a winter version that’s fur-lined for warmth.

Suavs Original Slip-On shoes are unisex and come only in full sizes, so the company recommends going a size down if you wear a half size.

Price and Where to Buy: $40 on Suavs.
