I pulled the trees out of my shoes the other day and found a round spot under the heel. When I touched it, it brushed off on contact and was sort of a chalky greenish taupe color. Upon further inspection, I saw deposits of this same stuff elsewhere further in the footbed...they all wiped off easily with a cloth.
Is this mold? what do I do about it?
I last wore the shoes a few days before that from like 4 in the afternoon to 3-4AM and put the trees in as soon as I got home. There was dancing and some longer chunks of walking so my feet probably got sweaty (and there is a chance that I was out of laundry and had to rewear a pair of socks that day) but its not like I have not sweat into these shoes before.
Are my shoes dead? There is still lots of life in the sole so I don't want to try to resole and replace the lining...
