Shumidor biodegradable shoe freshener

Does your footwear need a little freshening up? Apparently damp and bacteria can shorten the lifespan of your shoes, so it’s worth doing even if the smell hasn’t yet taken over the house. If you want to do it in an environmentally-friendly way, forgot the chemicals and take a look at the Shumidor from Michael Kritzer, spotted by the folk over at Hippyshopper.

It uses a combination of ionic blade purification and "airisole" inserts to dry sweat and destroy bacteria. The inserts are biodegradable and no chemicals are use in the process – so fresh footwear without harming the environment.
