Yes, soak your feet in vinegar water - warm and towel dry and when you shower - rinse your feet (before getting out) with mouthwash... my husband is in Navy and often gets it when on a ship and these remedies help a lot!

Here are two simple remedies for foot problems:
Athlete's foot is a fungal infection affecting the areas around toes and can spread to other areas of the foot. Some forms are mild, but most can cause flaking, itching, deep painful cracks and bleeding and can produce a foul odor. The fungus thrives in warm and moist places and it can be easily transmitted, specially in places like public showers, swimming pools,locker rooms, etc.
Most over-the-counter drugs stop the symptoms for a while, but it usually returns with vengeance. Here is a simple and effective home remedy for athletes foot that I have learnt from my Grandmother with easy to obtain natural ingredients:
Get some mutton fat (tallow) from a butcher's shop (beef tallow can also be used), trim the skin and blood vessels. Cook over slow heat until it melts, strain and pour into jars, let it cool. (Mutton tallow can be stored in a fridge in an air-tight jar to prevent oxidation for a few weeks, beef tallow stores almost indefinitely without refrigeration).
Wash and dry your feet and apply the tallow to affected areas in a thin layer. Put clean socks on to prevent staining your clothes.
Taking zinc supplements and vitamin E from a good source will help speeding up the process and make it more permanent.

Unless you live in a country without shops just buy an antifungal cream from a chemist.
If there is some really good reason not to do this just wash and dry your feet daily, wash socks daily too. Trainers should be washed or wear leather sandals. Anything but leather will hold the spores and re-infect you.
