Abstract
A device insertable into shoes is capable of drying, warming and disinfecting shoes. A perforated casing in the shape of a shoe interior holds an electric heater. The heater is powered by a power cord which extends from the casing. Arranged next to the heater is a receptacle for holding disinfectant. Heat from the heater evaporates the disinfectant, which is spread throughout the shoe through the perforations. A telescoping heel section ensures that the disinfectant will reach all sections of the shoe. A clip hingedly attached to the casing permits easy insertion and removal of the device from the shoe.
