"...as the inside of the shoe is wet for a long time, microbes will start growing in the boots and act on your sweat and other types of dirt in the boots."
"...you need to prevent them from getting exposed to moisture for a long time as wet boots spoil faster than the ones that are consistently dry and properly managed."
