What's the best way to combat foot odor?
Most likely, it's the accumulation of sweat over time causing the odor in your shoes. Do the following:
1) Always wear socks w/ your shoes.
2) Use some foot powder to keep your feet from sweating too much. Gold Bond makes a good product.
3) Find some shoe inserts w/ activated carbon - this will neutralize any odor that remains.
You may have to toss some of your older shoes if the odor is really bad. Sometimes the beast is just too strong to conquer.

Plain boric acid in your shoes overnight. Odor usually due to fungal colonization, which boric acid eliminates. You can also rub some between your toes. Do not leave it around small children, it is poison if ingested.
Wearing special insoles is aa very good tip! But insoles made from cedarwood (cedarsoles) are the better way to keep your feet healthy. activiated carbon just neutralizes the odor. The cedar wood has real antibacterial features which eliminates sweat and smell thoroughly.
Foot odor always a tricky situation. Key is to make sure your feet can "breathe" as much as possible. If the whole sandal route doesn't work, I'd look for shoes that have good ventilation. Beyond that, keeping your feet dry is one of the most important thing. Can use a product like Balla Powder Balla Powder which will keep the feet dry. I'd also invest in a foot shoe spray like Amenity's Foot & Shoe Spray which will do wonders for you. Finally, take your shoes off at your desk or work area and put them back on when you got to move around. Way more comfortable too.
