Nathan Rutjes is the new face for Shoefresh.
Here at Shoefresh, we work daily to help as many sporty families as possible with irritation number 1 in the house: wet, smelly sports shoes. Nathan Rutjes, former professional football player, youth coach at Sparta, and football father, knows better than anyone how to deal with this problem. He is the new face for Shoefresh and uses the Opod daily!
Football every day
Day in, and day out, it's all about football in Nathan Rutjes' family. Nathan has passed on his football genes to his son Lavezzi. Together they ensure that football is played seven days a week. The Shoefresh Opod is not an unnecessary luxury within such a sporty family. The sympathetic football player and father says:
"Football is a very important part of our lives. After my professional career, I started working as a trainer, coach and coordinator at Sparta's youth academy. Lavezzi also plays here: four training sessions and one match per week. I also play myself. indoor football once a week and I have field training once a week. In short: Lavezzi and I are on the football field together seven days a week."
Drying wet football boots
Here in the Netherlands, football is of course not always dry. It all goes on regardless of whether it rains or not. Nathan and Lavezzi regularly come home with soaked football boots.
"In the past, we always dried those wet football boots by putting the hairdryer on them or stuffing them with newspapers. That of course does not work well at all and takes far too much time. We always had several pairs of football boots so that we could take a dry pair with us. could take while the shoes from the previous training were still drying. And with Lavezzi still growing, the football boots went through like crazy. That is of course not possible."
The solution for wet, smelly football boots
Nathan first heard about the Shoefresh Opod through other parents on the sidelines. The device is said to be the solution for wet, smelly football boots.
"We now also have the Shoefresh Opod in our home and we are very happy with it. It is in our hallway, so immediately after entering the football boots are put on the device. Within an hour the shoes are completely dry and fresh again. Often I come home a little later than Lavezzi and his football boots are already dry on the Opod. Mine can be put on straight away."
The Shoefresh Opod has now become a permanent part of Nathan and his family's daily routine.
"We come home from playing football, put the shoes on the device, take them off again after an hour and they go straight back into the football bag. Everything is then completely ready for a fresh start to the next training or match."
A Shoefresh Opod for every football family
According to Nathan, every sporty family should have a Shoefresh Opod at home.
"We really can't live without it anymore. First of all, this device takes so much work off our hands. Fumbling with newspapers or a hair dryer is no longer necessary. In addition to drying, the Shoefresh Opod also tackles bad odors. It is so much nicer. To play football in dry, fresh shoes. We also use the Shoefresh Opod for all kinds of other shoes. I will never return it!"
