Where to Shop the Perfect Shoes in Thailand for Sweaty Feet

Choosing the right footwear with the right materials if you have sweaty feet is not an easy feat. One of the most common reasons for extreme sweating issues is because of an unusual condition called hyperhidrosis, which can be triggered by environmental factors or specific activities.
Aside from antiperspirants, breathable shoes are recommended for people with sweaty feet so as not to jeopardise foot hygiene. We’ve listed four shops in Thailand and picked the right shoes to keep your feet sweat-free while remaining stylish.
Asics
Asics is an international sportswear brand that came from the acronym of the Latin phrase “Anima Sana In Corpore Sano,” which means “[a] sound mind in a sound body.” As its name suggests, the company aims to bring forth innovative products with consistent quality.
The company uses innovative technologies to produce sports product solutions such as core GEL cushioning system and Flytefoam designed to provide comfort and functional footwear for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. Asics’ recommended footwear for those with sweaty feet is the GEL-KINSEI BLAST LE collection available for men and women.
They are made with a woven jacquard mesh upper for advanced breathability and soft yet strong FF Blast foam. You can choose from colours clear blue and black, deep plum and barely rose, orange, and lake drive and hazard green. The regular price of each pair costs THB6,900.
