Mold thrives in warm, wet environments, so anything you can do to dry out the cupboard will help. If it's a closed cupboard maybe you can just start storing shoes in an open place where they can dry. The soda would certainly help with the smell of the mold, but I honestly don't know whether it dehumidifies the air or not, but it might.
Another note: if your shoes have had mold on them in the past, they may be infected with it, so that just rubbing it off or whatever will not prevent it from growing back. Maybe you should start with new shoes or wash these shoes with bleach if you can to make sure that you're not just regrowing the same mold over and over.

Hi there, I'm not too sure if bicarb soda keeps mold of shoes, but I do know that it keeps bad odors away. I know that if you stick bicarb soda in the fridge, it keeps odors building up in your fridge.

I know your friend and she (if I'm correct) is very much missinformed as to storage technique. As much as we both love her, (she's a fine lass) toss the advice. Your little friends need open air! There should be a small hook just under the hairline, on the neck, in the back...Find a comfy spot in the sun and "hang 'em"...they'll love you more for it.

No, mould will grow on anything damp or in a damp place.
