I use this at my office because I commute in my running shoes. The spray is impressively effective at eliminating shoe odors, but it releases a very intense and pervasive smell, even with the most conservative application of the product. The smell isn't unpleasant, but unlike many general-purpose fresheners (like Febreze), the aroma is overpoweringly heavy and has a distinct artificial quality to it. This product does exactly what it advertises, but I'd recommend using it in very small bursts in well-ventilated areas, ideally away from where you sit.
