I wear loafer socks, but they can be a bitch because they slip of my feet while walking.

I tried the BR no show socks, but they still tend to show. I have some nikes that work okay. For my cheaper shoes (ie chucks), I'll just wear them barefoot and use deodorant or baby powder, and that cuts down the smell, but have yet to find a real solution with more expensive loafers, perhaps I need to try those j&m liners...

I had a pair of drivers that had grommets in them, which made an amazing difference. Obviously, that wouldn't work with every style out there though. Aside from trying to find no-shows that don't slip, various powders and sprays, and cedar shoetrees, I can't think of anything else that might do the trick.

so there is no consensus on easy ways to make no socks work without stink?

I don't mind buying products to help but it needs to be stuff easily available at duane-reade/drug store type places

thanks

If you are hardcore, you could try rubbing some Aluminum chloride based antiperspirant (Like certain dri or dri sol) on your feet before you go to bed to completely stop sweat production. Not sure how healthy it is though; you'll prob be fine. I've heard of some people with hyperhydrosis dipping their feet in aluminum chloride solution before going to bed and then wrapping their feet in plastic bags to maximize the absorption.

I think it is all up to your body chemistry. If they stink, you really should wear socks and let your shoes rotate between wearings so that they air out.

Put a small piece of a dryer sheet into your shoe. They will smell fresh all day.

I didn't read the thread but...

I wash my canvas sneaks often and use foot powder.

I've found that plain baby powder works pretty good too.

My feet always smell after a day of wearing my boat shoes sockless. I just chalk it up to a style sacrifice and wash them (my feet) to remove the stink at the end of the day.

Have you guys tried on vans socks? They have one for slips ons that are always no show in the lowest of shoes. I always were these so socks or no socks is not an issue, if they cannot be seen why not wear them?
