Do preloved shoes sound sus to you? How do you sanitize your shoes? Or not?
When disinfecting shoes, there’s a lot of room for personal comfort. You can use Lysol wipes, rubbing alcohol, a hydrogen peroxide solution, white vinegar, leather soap, bleach, fungicides, or a UV box or UV wand, to reach inside each shoe.
Thiocyanomethylthio benzothiazole (TCMTB) is a biocide used by tanneries.
You can get really technical.
Or take comfort in the fact that fungi won’t be around forever, as long as the shoes are away from a warm, humid environment.
Without discounting the importance of safety, I do want to say social media can get too swept up in disinfection, the performance of it, the drama, the fear. I want to give options and also ground them in perspective.
My shoes are not as clean as an operating table. They’re as clean as I need them to be.
