Hot feet are all too common during summer. Sneakerheads who swear by their year-round rotations know the feeling of deep regret when they realize they’re too far from home to change and the temperature is ramping up, putting them in hot water, literally. Funnily enough, it is possible to reconcile a love for sneakers with feet that are the right temperature. It all comes down to breathable sneakers.

With the world of sneakers hitting new levels of technicality every month, it’s no surprise that the experts behind your favorite brands have designed great-looking kicks that allow your feet to breathe, too. From adidas to New Balance, ASICS, and Nike, you can viably wear all the top brands in the heat thanks to mesh uppers, structural cutouts, and EVA sculpting.

Below, with the help of Stadium Goods, we’ve put together a list of 10 of the best breathable sneakers for summer.
