There are shoe inserts (odor eaters and such) for people with smelly feet and also foot powders that can be used...she might also want to discuss the issue with her doctor...
Smelly feet affect not only the person with the condition, but those around them...you know it's not kewl to avoid someone because of their smelly feet, but when the odor nearly gags you, what else can ya do?
I hope she's able to find something that works!

Spray all her shoes with Lysol and make sure she wears socks with her shoes. Also switch off shoes it's not good to wear the same pair everyday. Make sure they are leather shoes so your (her) feet can breath. Get some cream for athletes feet and apply it at night before going to bed.

Try Odor eaters insert for shoes.
Try Putting baking soda in shoes
Rub feet and inside insert of shoes 2x a week with fragrance oil of your choice. Patchouli oil works best...but try something strong if you don't like that scent.
Good Luck!

My son had problems with his feet... I couldn't stand to be around him after he took his shoes off. I bought him new shoes, with a new pair of odor eaters, and make him take his shoes and socks off after he comes in the house. I also bought him a couple more pairs of shoes to let one pair dry out for a day or two before he's to wear them again...
He's not so offensive anymore..

Try a scented talc or baby powder... the powder will keep her feet from sweating and the scent will cover up her smell!
Good luck :)

Soaking her feet in either salt or vinegar would you believe will cure her problem. They are both natural healers of bacterial fungi.
Fabreeze her shoes, that will do the trick.

Believe it or not she might want to try a roll-on antiperspirant directly on the soles of her feet.
