10 Breathable Sneakers That Will Eliminate Flipflops from Your Life
When words like "boiling" and "searing" begin filtering into your vocabulary to describe the weather—and they soon will—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 are 10 shoes that will let your feet breathe on summer's hottest days.
Puma Evolution Mostro Breathe Training Shoe
Puma's futuristic looking Mostros have the word "breathe" right in the name. It's a pretty sure bet that good ventilation is a key feature.
Adidas Ultra Boost 3.0

Common Projects Achilles Perforated Nubuck Sneakers
