Essential - Ultraviolet Shoe Sanitizer/UV Sneaker Deodorizer/Boot Sterilizer/Kills Toenail Fungus (Onychomycosis)

This item came damaged. One bulb blew and the other goes orange not the full ultra violet it should be. No paperwork in packaging. So I don't have any way to contact seller. Very disappointed. It wasn't a knock off and was advised by Dr. to buy this specific brand. He literally handed me info while in his office. I sure hope to get a replacement or a refund. UPDATED REVIEW I contacted customer service on the damaged unit I received. Seems Amazon was at fault here, not steriShoe. Stephanee at SteriShoe was of great help and was able to resolve the problem. I am happy SteriShoe stands 100% behind their product. That customer satisfaction is their priority. A replacement is on the way. Thank you Stephanee.

They break down too soon.

Unfortunately I caught toenail fungus after a severe injury to the toenail that required surgery. It took a long time to heal. Thinking it was all well I went to FL and walked around in wet areas and wet shoes. Unfortunately I got toenail fungus in my left great toe which caused it to need to be removed once again. My nail has grown back now and again still with fungus. I'm going to a specialist for treatment. Part of the treatment is to make sure I don't reinfect myself by wearing shoes that have fungus in them This device is very easy to use. I use it as described? , it takes 45 minutes, once you set it, it runs and turns off. That's it, easy as can be. I think the price of this device is reasonable. Of course, I've only had it for a few weeks so as far as it will last Ì don't know. It does seem fairly simple so maybe it will have a long lifetime..

I purchased this in late April and as soon as it came in, I began using it. It worked great and I had no problems using it on my sandals. I learned quickly to make sure it was out of direct sunlight from the window so it would work correctly and not get an error code. Now, 3 months in and it just stopped working all together. I did like the product until it stopped working but it's a rather expensive product for just 3 months of use! The poor quality of it earns it one star.

This works pretty well and is smaller and easier to use than the previous model. However, after a year of gentle use the connecting piece just broke off and I can’t use it at all now. It seems cheaply made for the price.

My podiatrist suggested I purchase a shoe sterilizer to help with my athlete's foot fungus problems. I had never heard of a shoe sterilizer before and worried that it was a scam, but decided I would try anything to resolve or at least lessen my issue since I have been dealing with it for so long without resolution. I use this product along with a twice weekly foot soak and my foot fungus problems have improved dramatically, so much so I can once again wear sandals without having fears about my feet! The sterilizer also helps with any odor from my shoes- my husband even noticed and commented on the improved smell of my shoes. I love this product and would buy it again. I have had the same unit for two years. One note, if there is sunshine on the bag there is too much light for the product to work properly, so make certain it is in a dark area.

I have been very pleased with the results. The SteriShoe worked. My shoes smell good. My closet no longer smell bad, but the plastic contruction is made of very poor quality plastic construction. I have had dime store plastic models that were strudier. After a few months, I had to glue one of the pieces together. Then a few months later one of the major pieces just fell apart and now after a year, it is unusable. This is surprsing and so disappointing give the price and after only one year.

As long as you follow the directions, these work perfect. My doctor did laser on my toenails for a superficial nail fungus & recommended sterilizing my shoes. I did a lot of research trying to find a good brand. No one had really good reviews. I took a chance on this product. I think it works perfect. If the red light flashes, it means you do not have the bag drawn tightly or the room darkened. If you’re doing sandals, you might need to put a towel over it. Basically the red lights are a safety feature and I appreciate that they go off when it is not covered enough. I have done every single pair of shoes that I own for all seasons and then continue to repeat on shoes that I wear during my four month laser process. I am estimating I’ve used these lights about 80 times and they are still working perfectly. I highly recommend.
