Also, because of the probable toxicity to people of these anti-microbial products, I would think they would also be harmful to those who suffer the problems of which George speaks. If the upside for those people outweigh the downside, then those people should be able to buy these products (IF and this is a big if, there are no safer products which I believe there probably are.....bamboo charcoal maybe), but they should be the exception not the norm. I cannot FIND clothes nor shoes without harmful chemicals that are either toxic in the making and/or in the wearing and/or in their disposal when they are no longer usable. The thing is if by some chance these products weren't harmful, I feel they are more than likely very harmful to the environment in their production and probably to the workers. It is SO difficult to provide for basic needs with the poisons that are put out there by corporations who do not think past their OWN immediate DOLLARS. great response, Gloria, to George….It appears that the product is more about protecting the shoes than people, but if some people need this, I would think they could buy something that was safe to protect them.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. As for the circumstances you describe, there's no question that sometimes the benefits outweigh the risks - of many things. And I can certainly see how that might be the case for the conditions you describe. I join you in praying that whatever the government does about these chemicals, there is still a solution available to people who really need it. Hello George.

Leave it to the central planners to remove another life enhancing product that gives people the choice to live a more normal life. I pray that government will stop giving itself the right to take away choices.
