Shoe dryers are more useful than many people think
Your clothes, underwear and socks are all regularly washed. But why don't we wash our shoes?!
People dealing with a seemingly constant supply of wet boots and gloves know that dryers are lifesavers. People who play a lot of sports are probably aware of this too. However, People commonly think that the benefits of boot and shoe dryers are limited to these groups and uses. This is not true. Matter of fact is that shoe dryers are highly useful in case of sweaty feet. Most people wear shoes the whole day. Even if you don’t play sports or wear boots, your feet produce about 250 ml of sweat each day. The warm, moist inside of your shoes is ideal for fungi and bacteria. Not only do they cause smelly shoes, they can also cause athlete's foot and nail fungus. it is crucial to thoroughly dry shoes in between wearing them.
You may think they are dry but the shoes interior, the inside of the fabric could be still moist.
Especially if the place your shoes are put to air out, the garage or the hallway doesn’t have an ideal relative humidity (rH) e.g. a high temperature and low humidity, evaporation of water is slow. And thus, bacteria and fungi continue to proliferate and cause smell and possibly other problems such as Athlete’s foot.

How does it work?
Why do shoes smell?
Most people wear shoes the whole day. The 250.000 sweat glands in your feet produce about 250 ml of sweat each day. For people with sweaty feet, athlete's or people who do physical work this can be even more. Sweat itself is virtually odorless ; it is the rapid multiplication of bacteria in the presence of sweat and what they do (break sweat down into acids) that eventually causes the unpleasant smell. On top of that bacteria and fungi can also cause athlete's foot and nail fungus.
How does the Caremax tackle smelly shoes?
The Caremax Shoe Dryer refreshes shoes in two steps. As soon as you place your shoes on the holders, the program will start. During the first step the shoes are cleaned using Active Oxygen technology. Active Oxygen (ozone) tackles the bacteria and fungi that cause smelly shoes. During the second step the shoes are dried from the inside out. To make sure all the sweat / moisture is completely removed. Your shoes will be fresh and dry again within 25 minutes.
What is Active Oxygen (ozone)
Active oxygen (ozone) is a strong disinfectant and is for example used to purify water. You can often smell ozone after a thunderstorm. The medial and food industries also use ozone for disinfection and other purposes. The amount of ozone that is generated in the Caremax shoe dryer is very small and well within the legal norm. Ozone reverts to oxygen within face minutes. After cleaning, nothing remains in either the shoes or the room. The Dryer doesn't require refills.
