DIY Natural Homemade Deodorizing Shoe Powder

Are there stinky sneaks in your family? Freshen them up with this simple, all natural recipe for a DIY deodorizing shoe powder. This easy deodorizing shoe powder recipe will help keep your shoes smelling fab even if they don’t always look the part.

Made from easily obtainable all natural ingredients, this deodorizing shoe powder recipe is kind to both your shoes and your feet. Simply sprinkle some in your shoes overnight or before wearing with – or without – socks!

This recipe yields one 7 oz. container, but you can easily double it if you want to make more – say, one for each of your little sports players!  I used the white powder sifter bottles from Nature’s Garden for this project. Not only are they relatively inexpensive – $3.99 scores you a set of ten containers – but they can easily be upcycled once they’re empty! Since they are plastic, you can simply wash, dry and re-use! (Psst. These are also perfect for those dry shampoo recipes!)
