Is there any way to clean my shoes and sandals after successful treatment
for athlete's feet
or should I discard my footwear and buy new shoes?

Sam,
I have a can of Lysol Disinfectant Spray. I just read the label on the
back of the can and it clearly states that Lysol Spray can kill Athlete's
feet fungus. I advise you to spray your shoes and sandals with Lysol
Spray. Allow them to dry out before you wear them.

occured to me it must a reinfaction from my footware.

Be alert to other possible sources of re-infection, such as gym
floors, your bathroom mats, etc. Some of these are easily under your
control, some not.

If you try Lysol... Lysol is intended for use on non-porous surfaces
(read the label). If you use it on something porous, it may or may not
penetrate to where the germs are. And if it does penetrate, it may
leave a residual odor on the shoes. So think about this, depending on
the types of shoes. Also, some people find Lysol irritating -- esp if
you have any open wounds. Remember, Lysol is basically a _very_ strong
detergent.

I go to the gym 5-6 times aweek.  I'm thinking I should have stopped wearing
my old foot wear and bought new stuff after it was cured.
Will give more thought to Lysol.
