Put vinegar on it

A great way to kill fungus & bacteria is to use an aqueous solution of formaldehyde. Put 1 teaspoon on a tissue and place together into a sealed plastic bag or other container with your shoes, leave outside for 12-24 hours. Formaldehyde is useful as a disinfectant as it kills most bacteria and fungi; including their spores. It can be obtained from a compounding pharmacy in small amounts. No ruined shoes here!
