A nice environmetally friendly alternative, plus you don't get the chemicals that other harsh mould killers have in them.

Your best bet is to remove all the visible mold from the shoes with a brush or towel.

After they are dry you should wax your shoes to protect the leather and keep the mold from coming back.
Your basement is moldy because it's humid and it's humid because it's not properly water proofed or there is a significant internal source of humidity (like if you are running a hydroponic farm for example). You have to eliminate the source of humidity first, thoroughly dry out the basement, isolate it, fix any damage caused by water/humidity and then run the humidifier. Assuming that tea tree oil will kill mold, you will then end up with dead mold that still needs to be removed and the place repainted. In other words, the whole humidifier idea won't do much good if you think that's all it takes.
