Ever Bamboo Natural Shoe Deodorizer Review
Yes, we're talking about how their bamboo charcoal powder filled, natural shoe deodorizer will help eliminate shoe odor from your heels, sneakers, boots, ice skates & more in a sustainable & eco-friendly manner.
If you suffer from stinky shoes, you're not alone. Many a man woman & child have this problem in their soles. I find at this time of year, winter boots & athletic footwear are the biggest offenders.
But let's not forget those favorite office dress shoes that get worn more than they probably should!
And although there are a slew of DIY ways in which you can deodorize your shoes, many involve moisture & products that can actually damage the inside of your shoes. Who wants that!?
And let's not forget the many sprays & deodorants that simply mask over the stink. Yuck! This is a much better solution for your shoes, let me tell you!
- Firstly, it's made of sustainable material (bamboo charcoal powder), which contains an exorbitant amount of porous holes that attract odor & excess moisture. Not only does it act as a natural deodorizer & dehumidifier, moso bamboo is widespread in Asia, grows rapidly & can be recycled without adverse effects, right back into our ecosystem.
- Secondly, bamboo charcoal eliminates odors at a higher capacity than regular charcoal does, having more surface areas & 4x the absorption rate. It also effectively captures & filters toxic airborn pollutants & chemicals derived from formaldehyde, ammonia & benzene, just to name a few
- Due to its ability to capture moisture, these natural shoe deodorizers prevent smelly bacteria from forming in damp, sweaty shoes, among other places
- Bamboo charcoal powder purifies & mineralizes water by absorbing harmful minerals including chlorine, all the while releasing its own natural minerals such as calcium, sodium & magnesium
Ever Bamboo Natural Shoe Deodorizer
– New Packaging-
- Sachets contain 100% natural bamboo charcoal & are rounded at the tip to easily place into shoes, even those hard to reach pointy pumps! They work really well in children's shoes too 🙂
- Easy to use: simply place inside of shoe. No need to wet or modify them
- Unscented to absorb odours rather than mask them
- Starts working just after a few hours in the shoes
- Reactivates under sunlight every 1-2 months
- Lasts up to 1 year
- Renewable: when 1 year is up, empty the pouches into soil to regular moisture. How eco-friendly is that?!
Ever Bamboo doesn't just make a great natural shoe deodorizer, but many other house & home related odor & moisture-capturing products.
These include bamboo charcoal deodorizers for boots (these are extra long to accommodate odor absorption in the shaft of the boot), cabinets & drawers, fridge/freezers, hockey bag, closets & entire rooms.

I swear I have the stinkiest feet for a woman. I feel like I’ve tried all powders, sprays, liners and still nothing can conquer my teenage boy smelly feet.
I put mine in the washing machine! And yes, it works 🙂
I don’t have a go-to. I have put a Bounce in my shoes when I knew I’d be in them all day. It worked until it got bunched up at the heel. Fail.
I air them out, but it does not work
I need one, ha!
I use Odor Eaters spray and it does work quite well, as long as you do it each time you wear the shoes..
I try to change up my shoes often so that no pair is getting stinky from overuse. I have also tried using a fabric refresher spray, disinfectant spray, washing (where possible), and charcoal insoles. None seem to work great though.
Leaving the offending footwear out in the lean-to!
I usually just use some baking soda.
Just leave them to air outside when you can.
Alcohol then damp baking soda
I just air it outside!
I don’t have one! Which is why I need to win this lol
Leave them outdoors overnight
I use dryer sheets, they work most of the time
I just put them outside for a while but it doesn’t work for long!
Leave them outside to air out and baby powder..works sometimes lol thank you for the giveaway 🙂
I just use baby powder
It does work but it’s quite messy – gets all over my tights & socks /:
I always talc my feet if I don’t use socks or tights
talc and it does work
Right now I use a spray but it doesn’t work long term.
I don’t have a go-to so would love to try this product.
My son shoes stinks. Summer I keep his shoes outside on the porch. I use baking soda but it’s not working.
I use foot deodorant, but it isn’t 100% effective.
bicarb of soda is pretty good 🙂
I fill two old pop socks with bicarbonate of soda. Tie a knot in them and pop them in the shoes. It works for a while.
I use a combination of baby powder and baking soda, it works for a tiny bit, before its back with a venegeance
Air them out!
spray of deoderant or talc powder
I put bounce sheets in them
I use baking soda but it is a little messy to clean out after
I usually use baby powder.
my go to solution is dryer sheets.
I sometimes use a body spray/spray deodorant inside the shoe OR I use dryer sheet.
I put newspaper to absorb odour
We use baking soda
I roll up newspapers and put them in my boots. It absorbs any moisture or odors, and also keeps them upright and in better shape than flopping over does.
i use powder
I put a nylon full of baking soda in the shoe overnight.
Talcum powder
usually i use either newspapers or dryer sheets in our shoes
Oder Eaters Spray
Chuck them in the washing machine lol x
I don’t really have a go-to solution then spraying them with perfume for a quick solution.
Desenex before wearing
i use talcum powder
We also have a powder we can put into our shoes but I think this would be better!
Used dryer sheets, good way to recycle
talc
Talcum powder (Cuticura)
Air them out and spray with deoderant xx
spraying air freshner in them.
fabric softener / dryer sheets
Air them out!
I usually use odor eaters
odour eaters are the best thing but can resort to talc!!!
Usually it’s just buy new shoes!
just airing them out or adding some bicarb of soda x
sometimes a quick wash but depends on shoe and I know there are better ways!
Keep them on the back door step
Spray them out with body spray.
I air it outside. lol
I sprinkle baking soda in them, but this would be way better!
I don’t really have a go-to solution. If I can’t air them out, I toss them out.
my only solution so far is odor-eaters, or don’t wear those shoes
