Independently Tested by a Globally Accredited Laboratory
Shoe Defence was independently evaluated under internationally recognised antimicrobial efficacy standards to validate performance under controlled conditions.
Testing followed EN 1276 (bactericidal activity in suspension) and EN 13697 (bactericidal activity on surfaces) — benchmarks commonly used in professional hygiene-controlled environments.
The Science, in Plain Numbers
In laboratory testing, Shoe Defence achieved a ≥99.9% reduction of tested bacteria (a 5–6 log reduction) within a validated 10-second contact time.
That’s what our claims are based on: measured reduction, defined contact time, under controlled conditions.
We Eliminate the Cause of Shoe Odour
Shoe odour isn’t the shoe itself — it’s bacteria breaking down sweat and organic material.
Shoe Defence targets odour-causing bacteria directly, helping prevent smell build-up over time. The result is freshness achieved through elimination, not heavy fragrance.
