I’ve owned multiple pairs of Tieks, and one of the things I was initially worried about was whether they would make my feet sweat or smell after long hours of wear. After wearing them all day at work, while traveling, and even in warm weather, I can confidently say that Tieks don’t trap odor like other flats I’ve tried.
If you’re wondering, “Does Tieks use leather?” the answer is yes! While some leather flats smell over time, Tieks are made from high-quality leather which is naturally breathable. Unlike synthetic flats that tend to trap heat and moisture, the soft leather allows air to circulate, keeping my feet much cooler. I have pretty sweaty feet, but I’ve never had an issue with my Tieks getting overly damp or smelly.
While my Tieks have stayed fresh, I still take care of them to keep them looking and smelling great. Here’s what I do to keep them fresh:
- I occasionally wipe the inside with a damp cloth and clear soap to remove any buildup.
- For extra freshness, I sprinkle a little baking soda inside overnight to absorb any moisture. After a few hours, I dust it out.
- Since Tieks use leather, I apply a leather conditioner to keep the exterior soft and prevent cracking.
One of the best things about Tieks is that they’re made to last. I’ve worn some of mine for years, and they still look and feel great. Plus, Tieks warranty and customer service are fantastic if you ever run into any issues with craftsmanship. They truly stand behind their shoes!
