Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.
What you should do is to stop such Waswasah (insinuating whispers) and do not let it have any control over you. You should know that all things are pure in principle, not impure. Thus, if you doubt that something has become impure and you are not certain, then it is pure, not impure.
In brief, you are not obliged to do anything; neither wash the shoes nor tell your husband. For more benefit, kindly refer to Fatwa 87127.
Allaah Knows best.
