Q. Is it trendy to wear athletic shoes bare feet? 

A. Athletic shoes are often worn while working out or doing sports, which eventually leads to excessive sweating; thus, it is advised not to jump in athletic footwear without socks. Socks will work as an antiperspirant absorbing excess debris and keeping your feet fresh and comfortable. However, women with less oily feet can wear sporty shoes without socks for limited hours.

Q. Which shoes look best without socks?

A. Loafers and sneakers look best without socks. Also, high-heeled pumps or any other formal shoewear often abstain from putting on socks. A traditional look will lose its elegance with unwanted socks.

Q. What are the cons of putting powder on your feet or in your shoes?

A. The excess sweat will mix up with the powder and leave your shoes messy. Moreover, talc or foot powder does not last for more than a few hours, and your feet will eventually begin sweating again. It’s wiser to use powder for short durations only.
