Our feet sweat up to ½ a pint per day and every step we take squeezes the sweat and germs from our socks into our shoes and feet. This sweat causes your shoes to become breeding grounds for the fungus and bacteria that cause toenail fungus, athlete's foot, and odor. Our shoes are the only article of clothing that we do not clean, and the ultraviolet shoe sanitizer changes that.
Using germicidal ultraviolet light (UVC) to sanitize shoes, is clinically proven way to sanitize shoes. It is doctor recommended and the Pedifix sanitizer was even awarded a Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association. In 15 minutes, it kills up to 99.9% of the germs in your shoes.
UVC works when there is direct exposure to microorganisms; even clear plastic will block its effectiveness so the
Pedifix sanitizer is designed to not block the UVC light. You should not look at UVC light so the Pedifix sanitizer has safety features that prevent it from working when it is not inside a shoe. UVC has been used for decades to disinfect air and surfaces in hospitals and in water treatment systems to make water safe to drink.
An article in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology stated "it appears to me almost futile to attempt to treat a patient's feet without doing something about his shoes, which...serve as potential reservoirs of reinfection." The Pedifix sanitizer is therefore designed for people who have athlete's foot (tinea pedis), toenail fungus (onychomycosis), diabetes, chronic shoe odor, and people who are concerned about general hygiene.
