    Abstract: A reversible, moisture absorbent shoe insert comprising a firm, breathable middle layer bonded to a moisture absorbent top layer and a moisture absorbent bottom layer to form a multilayer laminate. As excessive precipitation from the user's foot is drawn to the absorbent top layer, the absorbent bottom layer naturally begins to wick the moisture through the breathable middle layer, which allows the moisture from the top layer to evaporate, keeping the user's feet drier and less odorous. The insert is reversible because the material of the bottom layer has equal moisture absorbency as the material of the top layer, which allows the invention to function in the same manner when inserted into either the left or right shoe. The insert is also machine washable, which promotes the reduction of bacterial build-up in the shoe over time, which in turn reduces shoe odor and helps prolong the life of the shoe.
