A member asked:
I have athletes foot. do i need to throw out shoes or is there a way to sanitize them? i have lysol spray, is there a better product?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe/not: The Lysol would be worthless. Look around for a foot fungus spray like Micotin (miconazole) or similar product. This can help your feed & may remove the fungus from the shoes. Only time will tell if the spray you use is effective but it is worth a try.
