Alum stone is a very good deodorant. But it can also naturally deodorize our shoes. It is antiseptic and antibacterial.

The essential oil of tea tree is disinfectant and deodorant. The trick is to mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 3 tablespoons of hot water and 4 drops of tea tree essential oil.

Leave to dry. Then pour talcum powder before wiping with a dry cloth.

Blends of essential oils are very ingenious for our shoe odors.
