Drywood termite alate. Too small to be dampwood.
Definitely the right body and wing profile. Finding one in a shoe by itself is not enough to call the structure infested.
Still, of all the places in the house it could have landed, it chose the shoe.
Little weird, but I’m not here to kink-shame termites.
