The weather is heating up, and we all know what that means. Hot weather, sandals, flip-flops, tank tops–and if you’re like me–a whole lot of sweaty feet. But have no fear! SUAVS Shoes has a pair of shoes just for you! And not just any old pair: these shoes are sustainable, machine washable (yes!), sweat-wicking, and made from breathable fabric. I put them to the ultimate test just for you.

What we tried: the Zilker Gum Shoes + Zilker Shoes

You can tell a lot from a shoe brand by their signature shoe. Allbirds has the Wool Runner, Rothy’s has their Flat. We’ve reviewed both, and they are all great shoes. The Zilker and Zilker Gum are like SUAVS take on the classic Nike Killshot that Reddit is fascinated with for some odd reason.

What’s the difference between Zilker and Zilker Gum?

The difference is the sole. The Zilker Gum has an ultra-soft & grippy gum sole. I really liked the contrast between the white Marshmallow and the gum sole the most. The SUAVS Zilker and the Zilker Gum are shoes that you can wear all day long, even on your longest travel days, and they will still feel great!

How to style SUAVS Shoes

Overall, these shoes are more casual than dressy. In short, these would pair well with anything that you’d wear a pair of Nikes or Allbirds with.

What I think about when I hear “support”

Do you think you are going to walk in a walking boot, where your ankles can’t move at all? From what I can gather on the internets (I know, that makes me an expert). Shoe “support” refers to how the shoes do NOT allow your foot to pronate (ankle role in) or keep your foot in place when walking. Some other folks think that support means they “support” your feet when walking – which I think that’s just the definition of a shoe, right?

What are SUAVS made of?

Beginning in 2020, SUAVS made it a mission to go green. All SUAVS knits are made with 100% recycled knits made from post-consumer plastics. Additionally, SUAVS is committed to further expanding sustainable practices which currently include:

SUAVS – How do they fit?

SUAVS runs true to size. I wear a size 9.5 in every shoe and wear a size 9.5 in SUAVS, too. If your feet are a little wide, maybe size up a half of a size. That’s because of the protrusions that I mentioned earlier. If that bothers you, then size up or get a darker color. It didn’t bother me and you barely notice it when you are moving around.

I’ve been looking for a comfortable-enough-to-walk-all-over-in-Italy shoe…like, cobblestones and generally just hours and hours of walking. Might this be it?

The pictures for shoes and how to style them seem totally messed up in this article. I tried on multiple browsers. Can it be fixed? Would be great to see those styling suggestions
