Why fungus keeps coming back
Treat the source, not just the symptom
Nail fungus and athlete’s foot are caused by the same family of fungi. They love warm, damp places: between your toes, under the nail and inside your shoes. That’s why an infection often returns after it seemed to be gone.
Pedicurists treat it in three places at once: the skin or nail, the shoes and socks, and the daily routine. Keep treating for a while after symptoms disappear, and disinfect your shoes regularly.

Good to know
Questions people ask us
Do I still need a nail or skin treatment?
Yes. The spray disinfects your shoes and socks; it doesn’t treat the nail or skin itself. Use it together with Nail Mycosis Solution, Toe Fungus Solution or Athlete’s Foot Treatment.
How often should I use it?
Spray your shoes regularly and at least once a week during treatment, so spores in your footwear can’t reinfect you.
Can I use it on sports and leather shoes?
It’s made for the inside of everyday, sports and work shoes. On delicate materials such as suede, test it on a small hidden spot first.
Is this the same product professionals use?
Yes. It’s from the same professional range we supply to pedicure salons and podiatry practices through our B2B store.
Do you ship to my country?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Free shipping on orders over €35. See our shipping & returns page for details.
Full product description
Fungus and odor-causing bacteria thrive in the warm, damp environment inside your shoes and socks — even after your skin has cleared up. Re-wearing untreated footwear is one of the most common reasons nail fungus and athlete's foot come back.
Imperial Feet's Antifungal Shoe & Sock Spray is designed to disinfect that environment. Spray it inside shoes and on socks to help eliminate the fungus and bacteria living there, as part of a complete foot care routine alongside a nail or skin treatment.
How to use: spray liberally inside shoes and on socks, let dry before wearing. Use regularly, especially after sweating or during active fungal treatment, to reduce the risk of reinfection.

The reinfection cycle
Treatment applied
Step 1Infection clearing
Step 2Looks healed
Step 3Wear old shoes
Step 4Fungus returns
Step 5Back to square one
Step 6This is the cycle 80% of customers fall into. Treating the nail or skin without disinfecting footwear is why fungal infections keep coming back. Anti-Fungal Shoe Spray breaks the cycle.
How to Use Anti Fungal Shoe Spray
Simple as 1-2-3
Shake & Spray
Hold the bottle 10cm from the shoe interior and spray 2–3 bursts evenly across the toe box and insole.
Let It Dry
Allow 60 seconds of air-dry time. The formula works on contact — no wiping or rinsing needed.
Wear with Confidence
Slip your feet back in. The invisible barrier keeps fungus and bacteria out for 24 hours.
Why your shoes reinfect you — even after treatment
Why This Isn’t a Regular Shoe Deodorizer
Kills 99.9% of fungus and bacteria
Hospital-grade Benzalkonium Chloride + Isopropyl Alcohol formula — the same antimicrobial actives used in medical-grade disinfectants. Targets the dermatophytes that cause Athlete's Foot, nail fungus, and recurring foot odor.
Eliminates odor at the source — not a cover-up
Zinc Ricinoleate binds and neutralizes odor molecules. Most shoe sprays just add perfume on top of the smell — ours actually removes it. Combined with antifungal actives, you get clean shoes from the inside out.
150ml of professional-strength protection
One bottle covers months of daily use across every pair of shoes in your closet — work boots, sneakers, dress shoes, athletic gear. Most "shoe sprays" run out in weeks. Ours is built for a full preventive routine.
The professional's second step since 2001
Used by Dutch pedicure professionals for more than two decades as the essential follow-up to any antifungal treatment. If you've ever asked "why does my fungus keep coming back?" — this is the answer.
Four reasons this is the bottle professionals reach for when treating clients.
