Summer is officially here, and while we love the sunshine, it can sometimes be a challenge to keep our feet feeling fresh and comfortable. And let’s be real, while the classic Birkenstock Arizona with white crew socks is a perfectly stylish and comfortable look that’s back in vogue, there are many other times and outfits where a closed-toe shoe is ideal. At Beck’s Shoes, we believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice style for comfort in any footwear choice, especially when the temperatures rise. That’s why we’re here to share our top tips for achieving “cool comfort” and introduce you to the essential socks and insoles available at our store that will make your summer footwear a breeze.
The Quest for Cool Comfort: Beyond Just Sandals!
While sandals are an obvious choice for hot weather and currently rocking some great fashion statements, they’re not always practical or appropriate for every occasion. But even with closed-toe shoes, you can still experience incredible comfort and ventilation. The key lies in understanding how to manage moisture and airflow.
Here’s how Beck’s Shoes helps you achieve cool comfort through our curated selection:
- Breathable Materials: We stock a wide range of shoes from top brands, crafted from naturally breathable materials like genuine leather, canvas, and mesh. These materials allow air to circulate freely, preventing heat buildup and keeping your feet feeling cooler.
- Smart Design: Look for shoes with perforated details, cut-outs, or unlined constructions from the brands we carry. These design elements enhance ventilation without compromising on support or style.
- The Right Fit: A properly fitting shoe is crucial for comfort in any weather. Too tight, and you’ll restrict airflow; too loose, and you’ll experience friction. Our expert staff at Beck’s Shoes can help you find the perfect fit for optimal comfort.

Essential Summer Allies: Socks That Make a Difference
Forget those thick, moisture-trapping cotton socks of yesteryear! When it comes to hot weather, your socks play a vital role in keeping your feet dry and odor-free.
At Beck’s Shoes, we proudly carry leading sock brands known for their performance and comfort. Here are the essential sock types you need for summer, available from Feetures, Wigwam, and Incrediwear:
- Moisture-Wicking Wonders: The absolute cornerstone of hot weather footwear. Look for socks made from technical fabrics like polyester, nylon, or merino wool blends. Brands like Feetures and Wigwam excel in creating socks that actively draw sweat away from your skin, allowing it to evaporate and keeping your feet dry and cool.
- No-Show & Low-Cut Styles: Perfect for maintaining a sleek look with your summer sneakers, loafers, and even some dressier options. Both Feetures and Wigwam offer excellent low-profile options that still pack a punch in terms of moisture management. Feetures, for example, offers a variety from ultra-thin no-show socks ideal for running and everyday wear to help keep things airy.
- Targeted Comfort & Support: Incrediwear is our top-of-the-line orthopedic brand of socks. These are specially designed for those who are either diabetic or need more compression and circulation on a regular basis. Incrediwear socks go beyond basic comfort, utilizing therapeutic elements to potentially enhance circulation and reduce fatigue, which can be a real benefit on long, hot days and for ongoing foot health.
- Thin & Lightweight (and thicker options for specific needs): Opt for thinner knit socks that won’t add unnecessary bulk or heat to your feet. You’ll find many lightweight options within the Feetures, Wigwam, and Incrediwear ranges. And for those summer adventures that call for more protection, Feetures also offers thicker crew length merino wool hiking socks, proving that even in warmer months, the right sock can provide comfort and performance for any activity.

The Unsung Heroes: Insoles for Enhanced Coolness
Often overlooked, the right insoles can significantly enhance the comfort and coolness of your shoes, especially during hot weather.
At Becks Shoes, we carry high-quality insoles from trusted brands like Superfeet and Aetrex. Consider these insole options to elevate your summer comfort:
- Moisture-Wicking & Breathable Insoles: Both Superfeet and Aetrex offer insoles designed with materials and constructions that help manage sweat and promote airflow within your shoe. Some feature perforated designs for increased ventilation.
- Odor-Controlling Insoles: Hot, sweaty feet can lead to unwanted odors. Look for insoles with activated charcoal or antimicrobial properties, often found in Superfeet and Aetrex lines, to help keep your shoes smelling fresh.
- Support & Cushioning (with ventilation): While offering crucial support and cushioning, ensure any insoles you choose have ventilation holes or channels to prevent heat retention. Superfeet is renowned for its structured support, helping to stabilize your foot. Aetrex provides a diverse range of options, offering varying levels of cushion and arch support to cater to individual foot types and comfort preferences, with many options that integrate breathable features.
