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.

Hear me out... Water cooled stilts.

Also, are croc-platforms really a thing?

Edit: And, to actually be helpful, have you considered something like this?

[–] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 3 points 2 months ago

To further elaborate the stilts allow for plenty of room to run a cooling loop which could probably be run by a pump powered of your foot steps. Radiating away the heat might be a bit difficult, running a fan on your shoes might look a bit weird. Or it's just kinda a vibe and you run the fan of the water pressure from the foot step powered pump.

I'd actually love to see this done. Props to anyone who pulls it of
