• Cover the insole of the shoe entirely with baking soda.
• To distribute it evenly, you can tilt the shoe forward and backward and shake it from side to side. If lumps are formed in the powder, there is nothing to worry about.
• You will have to let the powder sit in the shoes for some hours, it can also go overnight. Baking soda kills the bacteria, that cause the odor. If the shoes are too stinky, make sure that you keep the powder in the shoes for over 24 hours.
