Do I cut holes in them to let air in?
Do I buy new ones with light weight breathable material?
Do I buy croc-platforms?
Do I buy anti-perspirants?
Do I add air cooling or water cooling?
Buy platforms shoes instead of boots?

What do I do 😭?

I don't want to go back to sneakers (I am tired of them), and I am too self-conscious to wear sandles or open top heals.

I wouldn't do any irreversible changes that I might regret in the future, especially to something that I love.

Probably buy another one that is better suited to the current predicament? I know some boots have ventilation. Not sure if Geox have boots, but they are well known to have well ventilated shoes.

Also, what's wrong with sneakers?
