Does anyone know whether this shoe breathes better than the Electras? I have a pair of those and really like them, but man, they're stinky...

I don't know whether this is urban myth but I heard that the reason the evolv shoes tend to smell is because they don't treat them with antibacterial coatings because they are worried it will leach off into your skin with prolonged wearing. Some people have mentioned washing them with woolite and spraying with lysol and that works. Check it out?

The Hera's certainly breath better.^Maybe I just got a bad pair, but in my experience they reek just about as much as the Elektras after a few months. I definitely can't throw them around wherever I want to in the presence of others.
