Shoes are nasty. We all know it—even if we don’t think about it very often.

‍

You know better than to put your shoes on your kitchen counter, or to kick them up on the dinner table. You don’t place them on your bathroom sink, or stand with them on your bed.

But it’s not just because they simply have dirt on them. After all, even if the bottom of your shoes don’t look dirty, you still know instinctively that it’s a bad idea to let them touch important surfaces.

Shoe bacteria and other shoe-borne pathogens are dangerous. Especially if you don’t sanitize or disinfect your shoes on a regular basis.

Facts on Shoe Bacteria

You probably know that the bottom of your shoes are unsanitary. But the extent of their contamination will probably blow your mind, unless you’ve done significant research on this already.

The science of shoe contamination is very clear: we’re tracking around dangerous germs with every every step we take. Bad shoe hygiene is making us sick.

‍

‍

Due to the porous material they’re made with, shoes act like magnets for bacteria. That same material that gives them grip makes them the perfect environment to cultivate bacteria. Plus, all organic matter that you walk through during the day serves as food for the bacteria present on your shoes.

‍

Here are some mind-blowing facts about shoe germs for you:

• There are 421X more germs on the bottom of your shoes than on the average public toilet seat
• Shoe soles are known sources of transmission for dangerous bacteria like E. Coli, MRSA, Staph, Strep, and C. difficile
• The bottom of your shoes can carry the virus SARS-CoV-2, commonly known as COVID
• Any bacteria transferred from your shoes onto the floor inevitably goes airborne, spreading onto high-touch surfaces and even to other rooms

A Shoe Sanitizer is Desperately Needed

Shoe-borne germs are a serious problem. A problem that we’ve known about for many years. But there’s still one bigger problem—there’s never been an effective solution for reliably sanitizing your shoes before!

In fact, a 2017 study literally concluded that “a high prevalence of microbiological pathogens was identified on shoe soles… [but] an effective decontamination strategy for shoe soles was not identified.”

‍

The scientific community is clear about shoes transmitting dangerous pathogens, and has been searching for an effective shoe sanitizing solution for years. That’s why we created the Shoetizer.
