Abstract: An article of footwear comprises an upper connected to a sole that is formed of an odorless, nonabsorbent material such that there is no detectable material odor upon contact with a ground surface. In addition, the transfer of scent, such as human scent, at least through the sole from the interior chamber to ground is at least substantially reduced or prevented. In a preferred embodiment, the upper is also constructed of an odorless, nonabsorbent material. According to a further embodiment of the invention, an odorless footwear system comprises an overshoe and a liner adapted for insertion into the overshoe. Both the overshoe and liner may be constructed of odorless, nonabsorbent materials. Preferably, the liner is arranged to completely cover a shoe or boot installed in the liner. Accordingly, scent that may emanate from a person through the shoe or boot, and odor from the shoe or boot material itself are at least substantially enclosed in the liner.
