We have 250,000 sweat glands on each foot, which are capable of pushing out two cups of perspiration a day. That’s a lot of water to be sloshing around in, no wonder our feet can come home smelling a little bit rank. But of course smell is only one effect, we can also get fungus and other attacks from this warm, wet environment, which is why it’s best to keep our tootsies as fresh and clean as possible.

The iShoe UV Sanitizer is a simple tool to help in this battle, and instead of using chemicals or other nasties, the unit simply bathes the inside of the shoe with ultraviolet light, which acts to kill all the bugs and germs that can cause problems. Just plug it in, pop them inside and put the shoes into a special bag.

You can select the length of the shoe treatment time from 15 to 60 minutes, and after the timer has done the unit switches off automatically. The product is adjustable to fit most shoe sizes, and it costs £74.95.
