How can I stop our entry porch smelling of shoes?

[Neighbourmystery]

We have a small entry porch - and a shoe rack and coat hook lives there- but I am worried that when you come in , it smells of shoes/ feet. I have an oil burner there for when we are in, but when i first come in after being out- it’s not pleasant- there is literallly no where else where we can keep our shoes- does anyone have any solutions or tips- can’t do plug ins and reed diffusers.
Thanks for any help!

Every so often I turn the sadly single socks that have accumulated by the dryer into shoe deodorisers by filling them with bicarb and a few drops of essential oil and tying a knot. I throw out the old ones, and drop these into shoes. We have a shoe basket, so they live in there between uses.

Unfortunately everyone now has big feet so I might have to actually buy some little socks specially for this job.

Could you minimise the amount of shoes in that area, so cutting down on the pong potential? Rotate as necessary? Seasonally? And then neutradol everything within an inch of it's life. If it's work boots and such could they be swapped over in the car/van and ' house' shoes put on? If it's stinky trainers worn once a week then they can be evicted to bedrooms I feels

Odaban Foot and Shoe Powder

You need to get everyone spraying their shoes with shoe deodoriser or using that scented anti fungal powder when they take them off.

I use it in my running shoes and now they don't smell at all and the utility doesn't smell like feet any more.

Rather than cover up the smell you need to stop the smell developing.

Boot bananas are great, use those in my climbing shoes.

I like PP suggestion of socks with bicarb in them. Much cheaper than boot bananas and you can have lots of them in rotation.

Also came here to recommend Boot Bananas. They're quite expensive, but last for ages (unless they get wet) - maybe identify your smelliest shoes and just get boot bananas for those. It's usually trainers/boots/work shoes that have been all day that are the ones that actually smell.
