One of the old time classic remedies for smelly feet even in the olden days was your kitchen variety of vinegar made from the normal fermentation of alcohol into a weak acetic acid.

Vinegar is made from the oxidation of ethanol in wine, cider, beer, fermented fruit juice, or nearly any other liquid containing alcohol. Commercial vinegar is produced either by fast or slow fermentation processes. Slow methods are generally used with traditional vinegars and fermentation proceeds slowly over the course of weeks or months. The longer fermentation period allows for the accumulation of a nontoxic slime composed of acetic acid bacteria and soluble cellulose, known as the mother of vinegar. Fast methods add mother of vinegar (i.e. bacterial culture) to the source liquid and then add air using a venturi pump system or a turbine to promote oxygenisation to give the fastest fermentation.

For our purpose, vinegar is one of the best cleaning agents as the acetic acid created becomes a very good cleaning and disinfecting agent. The best part is that it is widely available, cheap and in no way harms the environment. Additionally, certain varieties of vinegar also work as an anti-odor agent too.
