That way each pair gets plenty of time to dry out. It also increases the usefull lifespan of your insoles and the shock-absorption properties of your shoes. I don't have a problem with footwear smelling unless I wear it constantly, day in and day out, as you have been.
You can also spray your feet with Arid XXX dry (specifically that spray deodorant) to keep your feet from sweating. A lot of military guys do this when they know they are going to be marching for a long time and won't be able to even take their boots off for a couple days. It really works at reducing sweat and foot moisture. We use it so we won't get blisters, but it should reduce the smell as well.

I'm glad I read through this entire thread before posting what you said in your first sentence. And all the rest as well.
I personally never wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. Buy quality, take care of them and they'll last for years. I have dress shows that I've re-soled so many times I can't keep count. They are always polished, cleaned with saddle soap and conditioner and never worn two days in a row. I also sprinkle a little foot power inside and tap them together the day after I wear them. One pair lasted 15 years before I put them to rest! Best of all, they still had no smell.
