Yes, shoes and socks made of natural fibers will go a long way in allowing your feet to breathe properly. Double-check that your socks are 100% cotton.

Also, buy white socks and when you wash them, wash your socks separately with bleach. The bleach will kill bacteria that LOVE to lurk in socks and increase the amount of odor your feet put off. Also, deodorize your shoes on a regular basis. You can do that with simple baking soda. Furthermore, buy yourself a can of regular ol' aerosol antiperspirant. Spray your feet with this antiperspirant--doesn't take anything fancy or expensive, just make sure it's antiperspirant. Doesn't even need to be specifically for feet. Also--don't wear shoes/socks unless you have to...around the house, go barefoot. You might also want to use an antibacterial soap on your feet to decrease the presence of bacteria that will cause odor.
