SteriShoe UV Shoe Sanitizer and Deodorizer – Ultraviolet Light Sterilizer for Sneakers, Boots, and Dress Shoes – Kills Odor-Causing Bacteria and Toenail Fungus Germs for Fresh, Clean Feet

I was initially hesitant to make this purchase due to some negative reviews. However, I have had a great experience so far, without any of the issues other reviewers had. I have no problem with the product fitting in my shoes or turning on. I have already sterilized three pairs of shoes (including boots and sneakers) with ease. My Podiatrist recommended that I use a shoe spray to diligently sterilize my shoes. I found it nearly impossible to pray the toe area of my boots, so I searched for another solution. So far, Sterishoe has been a great way to sterilize my boots easily. I love how quiet the fan is and how quickly this product works. You just insert it into your shoes, turn it on, and walk away, and your shoes will be sterilized in 15 min. Happy so far!

What a garbage product. Head all reviews. I purchased this at the suggestion of my podiatrist. It may do what it's sold to do, which is kill bacteria/fungus, but it seems there are QC issues. I attempted to use it, and the light alarm kept going off and the light wouldn't turn on. The instructions said to switch the bulbs, so did and it worked for 10 seconds before it started beeping again. For nearly $200 it should not be defective. Avoid and save your money. Dont buy it.

Mine also came with a faulty bulb. I can only do one shoe at a time and it beeps the whole time. What a waste of time and money.

I have always had an issue with athletes foot. I ended up getting a toenail infection that I could not control and resulted in me having to have my toenail completely removed. It was embarrassing because I am huge in taking care of my feet. My doctor recommended this purchase to help minimize and eliminate foot fungus and athletes foot, especially during this recovery time. It takes a minimum of a year for your toenail to grow back completely and it is important to keep it clean to avoid bacteria from being trapped under the nail as it grow back. I was hesitant but made the purchase. It's a reasonable size so it fits in most adult shoes. It is great quality and strong. It is completely quit. I thought it would be loud but you can't hear it at all. And it only takes 15 minutes for the treatment to be done. It's fast and easy to use and easy to store. I keep it under my shoe rack so I can easily treat my shoes after I am done wearing them for the day. The difference this has made!

I've been using this thing on a daily basis for 9 years and it still works well. The lights on both sides still function, and both fans work. The fan is a bit loud, so consider that when finding a time/place to run the cycle. I have two pairs of work shoes that I switch out each day, so I put this in the "off day" shoes and do 2-3 cycles depending on how sweaty my day was. Overall, I'm happy with how long it has lasted and what it does. I never expected this to dry out shoes with only one cycle, so the extra cycles are well within my expectations. One thing I will knock this on is that I have found you need to put pressure from above to make sure the sensor button is clicked properly or it will beep at you until it's pressed exactly right. I have an upright shoe cubby and I just wedge it under the shelf above, which usually works. 4.5 stars

NO. USELESS. 👎 It only worked when INSIDE THE BOX which is where the factory tests the units. Zero value! The safety switch does not compress in my shoes or boots, so that prevents it from working in practice. $190 down the drain if it wasn’t for Amazon honoring their return policy. 👎 Bad design! Bad fit!

When I saw the SteriShoe on Amazon, I thought it was a brilliant solution to the reoccurrence of toenail fungus that has plagued me for 5 years. Then I read the reviews. They were terrible. I was really disappointed. I depend on reviews to help me decide whether to make purchases on Amazon - I mean, we are buying things that we haven’t even SEEN, much less seen in action. I found the main phone number for SteriShoe and called them. I wanted someone to “sell” me on this product. A young lady answered, and she was NOT a salesman. I desperately tried to get her to tell me the reasons I should buy the product - she couldn’t. I asked her why the Amazon reviews were so bad - she hadn’t read them. I was sooo over her attitude. I hung up and tried to forget about SteriShoe. I called back. This time I got a more seasoned salesman who stood by the product, enjoyed working for the company, and gave me some good advice about replacement bulbs (don’t buy them when you buy the SteriShoe because the warranty for both begins when you purchase them. Wait until you actually need a replacement bulb, then the warranty will begin at purchase and the bulb will be under warranty should it be defective and will be replaced). So I bought the SteriShoe. ITS FANTASTIC!!!!! I don’t know if the light actually purifies the shoe of fungus and bacteria (I’m not a pathologist), but it has a FAN and a scent packet that dries the shoe and leaves it smelling fresh. The mere action of putting the device in my shoes makes me more aware of my responsibility to keep my shoes cleaner and healthier. I pulled out the Dr. Scholl’s inserts in the first pair I used the device in - the inserts were filthy, disintegrating, and smelled like crap. I pulled out all the comfort inserts in all my shoes and ditched them. I’m replacing them as I wear the shoes. I ordered the SteriShoe 2 months ago - I use it every day. It’s EASY to use. It is NOT fickle - just read the instructions for chrissakes. The lights blink a bit as the device boots up and verifies the 2 safety checks - the button on the back heel is depressed (if the device has been inserted upside-down, or isn’t level) and the room light is not hitting the device (which means that the UV light from the device is not escaping into the room - it can damage your eyes if u stare at it.). I just dim the room lights and I don’t use the bag and it works fine. I don’t understand the bad reviews. This gadget kicks ass. I’ll update in a few months to let y’all know if it is helping to keep my particular strain of toenail fungus at bay. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy having clean, healthy, nice-smelling shoes thanks to SteriShoe!!!!!
