I work for a company that produces ozone generators and in my spare time I am working on developing a product that will remove the smell from our rock climbing shoes by pumping ozone into a box, the ozone then attaches itself to all of the smelly odors which are then exhausted out of the box leaving your shoes odor free. The only problem is that thus far its looking like it will resale for about 60$. I am wondering if anyone here would be willing to pay that kind of money for such a contraption. The longer the shoes are left in the box the less they smell but I am having results after about an hour. This is a much safer alternative that throwing them in the wash machine and its all done without water so there will be no harm to the leather or rubber.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Ozone is VERY safe. Some of the applications that we build our products for are: hospital air purification, many of the top bottle water manufacturers treat their water with ozone, cleaning water for wine making, home air purifiers, etc....

"Ozone Therapy is Safest Known Therapy

Ozone has been found to be an extremely safe medical therapy, free from side effects. In a 1980 study done by the German Medical Society for Ozone Therapy, 644 therapists were polled regarding their 384,775 patients, comprising a total of 5,579,238 ozone treatments administered. There were only 40 cases of side effects noted out of this number which represents the incredibly low rate of .000007%, and only four fatalities. Ozone has thus proven to be the safest medical therapy ever devised. "

The gym I used to work for tried out an ozone air purifier for reducing shoe odor. It did not make any discernible improvements to funk in the vicinity of the shoe racks, let alone in the shoes themselves. This was even running at full tilt.

Regarding toxicity or other negative effects, the ozone's own odor was very noticeable and employees did complain about mild nasal irritation. We retired the unit after one season of use due to lack of effectiveness and high energy costs.

thanks for the feedback!!

I would like to think that my company builds a superior ozone unit, but only the testing that I am currently doing will tell.

edit: obviously we do not concentrate the ozone to a level where it can be toxic
