Remedy for Moist, Stinky Shoes

Does anyone know if it safe and effective to use the disposable silica gel bags (found in new shoes) to absorb sweat and odour in running shoes in between uses?

I thought it would be safe. But after doing some research, it looks like some silica is harmful if it is inhaled or injested.

The throw away on some packages scares me as well.

Of course it is safe. The silica gel just absorbs moisture. How can it hurt anything.
