How to disinfect a shoe from insects?

Maybe that's what happens when you go camping on Friday the 13th... my shoe became infested with something halfway between ants and spiders. Even after soaking it in water 3 times there were still plenty of them on and in it. Not fun.





I let it air dry for a day and now it seems more still-life like it should, but is there an effective way to really clean it and make sure than no inner folds contain things that shouldn't be there (now including mold)?? Or is the best option really the trash bin.





I can live with that, but do you have better advice? Someone suggested to put it in the microwaveI...





It's a Nike Air black leather %26amp; fabric shoe, the insoles are glued in.

How to disinfect a shoe from insects?
First of never put any shoes in the microwave you will melt them and I don't believe you have to disinfect shoes from insects or spiders etc they don't carry germs, my advice is to use Undiluted White Vinegar to remove those insects from your shoes it will also kill the mold/mildew problem you now have due to washing them leave on for about one hour then use a stiff brush on the soles of the shoes the insects will be dry and fall of as you brush on the tops of the outersole you can dip a soft to medium toothbrush in the vinegar and gently scrub off the dead insects allow to dry for about half hour then brush them off gently when finished dry shoes outside away from sunlight and heat or in a warm room and stuff crumpled up newspaper inside the shoes to absorb any moisture in your shoes that has lingered from your washing these shoes, now your shoes will be disinfected as vinegar cleans and disinfects all surfaces removes stains and residue and has been touted as being the best disinfectant in the world





Good Luck !
