People have been searching for ways to eliminate shoe odor for decades. Common methods include scented powders, baking soda, rubbing alcohol, and even kitty litter. However, most will admit none of these do-it-yourself solutions fully eliminate the musty smell of wet or sweaty shoes. The team at Tokyo-based design brand Nesugar spent two years researching and developing a gadget to dry shoes and eliminate odor. The result is the Nesugar 2-in-1 Foldable Shoe Dryer & Deodorizer.
The device features compact yet powerful 360-degree heaters in a sleek, discrete design. The unique heating system dries the shoe from toe to heel with a hot air cycle that does not cause deformation, cracking, degumming, or other damage. It features 55- and 45-degree temperature modes and three timing options ranging from 1 to 4 hours.
The built-in O3 ozone sterilization mode deodorizes the shoe’s interior. Shoes can quickly become odor-free and hygienic even after a long run, hiking through rivers, or a rainy commute. The Nesugar 2-in-1 Foldable Shoe Dryer & Deodorizer folds away to fit into an area the size of the palm of your hand, making it ideal for travel, home, or dormitory use. Find the most advanced solution to shoe dampness and odor available on Kickstarter now, with an expected delivery date of November 2022.
