She needs to make sure she always wears socks.
If she wears shoes without socks often it will ruin the shoes and make them smell like rotting cheese and fritos.
Mmmmmm
Foot powder is a good start. In addition Dr scholles also offers a charcoal insert that deoderizes.

They sell special socks in the sporting good store for sweaty feet that will help absorb some of the sweat she really needs to try to wear shoes that let her feet breath more not a tennis shoe that is totally leather. Buy her some Febreeze for pet odors it will really help. Soak her shoes inside with it the first few times. If nothing else start taking your shoes off right outside the door when she is there and then she will . That would eliminate the stinky shoes at least. Good luck

If your feet are going to sweat, they are going to sweat no matter what you do.
So, what to do with sweaty feet?
Wear natural fibres is the first, 100% cotton socks and (sorry veggies) leather shoes, hemp shoes are great too if you like the styles (does that make up for the leather comment?). Trainers (sneakers) are a big no go for sweaty feet.
Change the socks often even 4 times a day.
Heres one that will make people go "no way!" but I assure you its true, thick woolen socks. Reasoning:
Your feet are stuck in hot shoes, they will sweat and the sweat wont evaporate and cool them, so the heat is removed by the blood instead. Insulating your feet with thick wool wont stop the blood removing the heat so the thick socks wont make your feet hotter or sweat more. Wool as any natural fibre is by far the best way to wick moisture from one place to another, so thick woolen socks will take the sweat from inside your shoes and take it to your ankles and calves where it can evaporate.
There are a very few man made fibres that are good, GoreTex is one, but hey, natural is best

Seriously. Tell her to NOT use antiperspirant, and switch to deodorant. The zinc oxide in antiperspirant blocks the sweat pores under the arm, forcing the body to compensate. The resulting reaction is sweating feet and hands, which ultimately become rather odorous.

in case your ft are also a touch itchy and view flaky epidermis between your ft then you truthfully ought to have athletes foot. wash your ft morning and evening yet dry thoroughly in between your ft you'll get a medicated talcum powder or a foot spray to attend to the an infection (at any chemist) this in turn ought to do away with your pungent ft oh and throw away your old footwear those will be contaminated with the fungus and could reason the athletes foot yo go back.
