I just picked up some Nike Free 3.0, suppose to be worn w/o socks, which is all good, but from my experience in the past when wearing running sneakers w/o socks they tend to get rather gross. I remember from my b-ball days in highschool they used to have these little balls you'd put in your sneakers to keep them fresh? anyone use these things

I mix 1 part US Army foot powder (has anti-fungal stuff in it, boric acid actually) with 1 part odoreater foot powder (the super absorbent type). Works pretty well for all footwear. While I'm not familiar with those shoes, make sure you can air them out for at least a full day between uses if you are in a hot/humid climate.

If you're not wearing socks your shoes are going to stink.
