the new panasonic shoe deodorizer is equipped with ‘nanoe X’ that generates and exhales hydroxyl radicals and ion particles to dissolve and eliminate unpleasant odors, which are caused by a smelly substance, called isovaleric acid, produced by foot sweat and bacteria. simply set the tech in the shoes, switch it on, and wait for the magic to happen. depending on which of the two modes is selected – normal or long – the process can take five hours or seven hours for the latter option. whilst the device is generating and spreading particles from six outlets to every corner on the shoe, it can run via mobile battery in case no AC power outlet is available.
