Office workers wear office leather shoes or heels to work every day. Since the shoes are worn every single day, it is difficult to manage these shoes when they get wet, smelly or dirty from rain and sweat. Plus, these dirty shoes will be kept inside a shoe closet without getting any air from the outdoors. Shoe toaster is a shoe styler that solve these problems. Shoetoaster was designed from a fun interaction from a toaster. Users can place in shoes that need to be dried, deodorized or sanitized, then select a suitable caring mode: sun, hidden sun and cloud. Shoe caring begins when the start button is operated. When your shoes are dry and clean, it will pop out like a toast for you to wear it straightaway.
