This can be dealt with.
Here are a few options to consider. First, Zinc will help with the stink. You can take a Zinc supplement AND use a topical ointment on your feet. If you decide to take a Zinc supplement, don't take it everyday and be mindful of your copper levels. OptiZinc has copper included although you want to supplement even a little more. The ideal zinc-to-copper ratio is 10:1.
This works very well because it contains 40% Zinc. One of the highest you can find. I've used this on my feet with success and I've even used it on my face before to help with complexion issues and it never dried me out. I think using daily on your feet would be fine although I wouldn't recommend putting it on your face every day. You can find this in Walmart in the baby isle (where the Pedialyte is located). Start with a small amount and rub it in. A little goes a long way with this stuff, you don't want your feet feeling greasy all day.
I bought this because I was looking for safer deodorant options. I was amazed at how well it worked on my armpits (much better than traditional deodorants containing aluminum) and the upside for you is, it even specifically mentions being used on feet to treat foot odor. I haven't done that but I imagine it would working swimmingly.
This product is along the same lines as BodyMint, but much cheaper. It is typically used to deal with bad breath that originates from odor created in the gut, but it has also been used to treat general body odor as well. I recommend starting with the top 2 recommendations first but considering this can be tried for only ~$7, it may be worth just adding it to your odor fighting stack.
I was told this is the product that bowling alleys use to disinfect the bowling shoes. I bought a can sometime ago when I was running and wanted to keep my running shoes from getting rank. I can't find it right now but I seem to recall a warning about harmful/caustic chemicals coming into contact with skin so use this one carefully if you decide to try it. You should be disinfecting your shoes anyway since it sounds like your issue could be bacterial or fungal, seeing as it spreads so rapidly to new shoes.
I got these for running and I love them. They are super light and are made from a breathable mesh. The thicker your socks are, the more likely your feet are to get hot and begin sweating. These are a bit expensive but you can think of them as an investment that pays dividends.
These are designed to naturally remove odor. I keep them in my shoes when they're just sitting in my closet. I assume they are working because my shoes don't stink. They are cheap and got good reviews on Amazon. Check 'em out.
In conclusion
I believe if you are washing your feet thoroughly, making sure your socks are clean and your feet have some Zinc ointment rubbed into them (or the crystal deodorant applied) and your shoes are properly disinfected and dry, I think you will see an appreciable reduction in foot funk if not a complete eradication.
Good luck.
I accidentally hit save, here are some more items you might want to register for:
Corner bumpers more of a concern when baby starts moving, but if you get it out of the way now you don't have to worry about it later. Same goes for plug covers and cabinet locks! Furniture anchors are a must-have, too. I haven't registered for those yet, need to figure out how many we need.
Pack'n'Play portable playpen, changing station, play mat, and bassinet. Even if you don't travel much, I think it will be handy for taking baby around the house while I do chores. They come in all kinds of designs, this one just stood out because of my nursery theme.
A glider or rocking chair, dresser/changing station, and crib. I don't have recommendations for these because I got mine as hand-downs.
Baby monitor I'm going with middle of the line video, because the audio only ones aren't much cheaper, so why not? I'd like to be able to peek in on baby and make sure he's okay without constantly disturbing him by entering the room. These come in all ranges with all kinds of features, so look at a few to figure out what you want.
Bibs. I love these because they have food-catchers. Mess will still happen, but it looks like these will at least lower the amount.
Infant soothie pacifiers
Breastfeeding pillow for sitting up Probably superfluous with the other one, but I like that it straps around your waist, cushions your back, and has pockets for drinks/snack/phone.
Pacifier clips, so you aren't knee deep in pacifiers that keep falling on the floor
Butt paste. I've heard a lot about this from other moms, apparently it's the best diaper cream.
Butt spatula admittedly I felt silly with this one, but the reviews are raving. Butt paste gets everywhere, and it's water resistant so an utter pain to clean - especially under your nails. On top of that, this makes sure you get a nice, even layer for baby's comfort.
Breastfeeding scarf! I think this thing is so neat, especially with a winter baby. You can wear it like an infinity scarf, but it'd big enough that when baby is ready to eat it will cover both of you comfortably! There are a lot of different styles, I picked a black one and a grey one just so they will go with any outfit.
Graco glider soother I picked this because I thought it was neat, then I saw a bumper with post partum advice list it on her must-have rundown.
Diaper bag! I went for the backpack style so DH and I could both comfortably use it, and honestly I don't want to deal with baby in one arm and an over-the-shoulder bag on the other.
First aid and grooming kit
Bottle sterilizer, because screw trying to hand wash them
Bottle warmer, no microwave/boiling water and guess
Bottles!
High chair. I picked this one because it is a 4-in-1, it adjusts from infant all the way up to toddler booster, so I know I'll get my use out of it.
Puj tub - it folds into your sink to be a warm, soft bathing surface for baby, and then when you're done you hang it flat in the shower, bo fuss, no mold!
I also registered at Target and BRU for some variety, some things that I don't have amazon links for:
Travel system.... I absolutely want one that is a carrier, clicks into a car base or a stroller. Getting two bases, one for each car, and the stroller base, would probably still be cheaper than buying two car seats, a carrier, and a stroller, and with these systems you don't have to wake baby up with every transistion.
Various cloth products, swaddlers, burp blankets, bath towels, bibs, etc. These are everywhere so just pick whatever suits you! I'm not registering for any clothes just because I know everyone is going to see "the cutest little onesie" and get it regardless.
Diapers! You can never have enough. I'd get a couple of packs from each size range. Don't open them until you know how big baby is, so you can exchange any that start too small.
Toys galore. Again, people will give you these registered or not, but if you see something that really strikes you, throw it in there! Jumpers and playpads are good to pick out.
Nursery decor - if you haven't gotten it all yet, black-out curtains, crib set, sheets, matress protectors, diaper genie, changing pad, laundry hamper, mobile, etc etc.
Books! Instead of cards, I'm going to ask people to bring inexpensive books with their personal note to baby, that way he can keep their messages as he grows. I put a good amount of books between $3-$6 on my registry for this, so hopefully we won't get a million copies of the same book.
This turned into an epic novel, but I hope it helps you with some starting places! Check out the reviews and similar products on things I linked, hopefully it will lead you to some things you like!
Grandma El's? Unless she's allergic to lanolin, petrolatum, or salicylic acid too. The link lists all of the ingredients.
Yeah, I’m having a girl too and I’ve been reminding my husband about it. He said he had no idea that was even a thing females had to do. On a side note, also look into investing in a diaper rash cream applicator. That stuff does not want to get off fingers. This is the one I got.
Is there any color change on her skin? Have you changed wipes recently? She may have a light rash or an allergic reaction to wipes. They make a diaper spray and it’s very soothing we used to have to use it for my son. It also helps poo slide off of skin instead of sticking so it’s more comfortable for them while they go potty. Hope this helps.
Here is one but there are several brands just search diaper rash spray.

Huh, I've never heard of that. I honestly don't know anyone that actually uses baby powder anymore. We use A&D ointment, which is what they were using at the hospital.
Rub this baby butt paste on your feet before you put your socks on and wear your shoes for a day. It is amazing. Used to have foot odor in all of my shoes and I can wear shoes without socks in dead heat of the summer now without worrying about foot odor. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JHKY5IC/ref=cm_sw_r_taa_VhMJybZQVN3G3
Dr. Smith's On-The-Go Diaper Rash Spray, 3.5 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K2SLBMG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_86GWCb3BR6GD8
Have found it a few bucks cheaper at grocery stores/pharmacies than what amazon has it at now. Worth it.

We use this one! It works really well at preventing diaper rash and even healing some minor skin irritations. We use it with every change, and it's awsome (no messy fingers).
Lololol, I can totally see how you'd think that, considering the actual name of the thing is a diaper cream brush. We literally don't go anywhere without one - I think we own 5 of them now. They come in travel size too!
chunk rump rub on amazon is a cloth diaper safe rash cream that is all natural and comes in a few scents that aren't bad. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014RO57L6/ref=twister_B014RO585Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Boppy nursing pillow.
Baby Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit (for 3 to 6 months).
Diaper Genie's are all the rage, but I just use grocery bags to wrap poopy diapers, so I think they are a waste of money.
A+D ointment (for diaper rash prevention and skin care)
Desitin (for diaper rash treatment).
As for treatment of the sores. Lantiseptic before and after the ride and or cortisone.

I'd try asking if you could size up, or ask for diaper doublers.
My favorite creams are Butt Paste and Aquaphor. However, since you're using a service, check with them regarding creams. Sometimes creams can leave residue on the diapers.
How long does he sleep through the night? If he's still getting up every couple hours, just plan on changing him each time. If he's sleeping for longer periods of time (6 hours +) at night, you could try using wool covers in addition to the fitted diaper (I'd bulk up the diaper a little with prefolds or doublers). I like EcoPosh wool covers. You do have to lanolize wool covers so they become waterproof, but I loved using them with my daughter.Learn to Cloth Diaper has step by step instructions on how to do that. Hope it helps!
I love my baby bum brush! It's a silicon spatula designed to put on diaper cream. No more cream under my nails! I also love the Oogie Boogie bear which helps get out stuck boogers. Oh and drool bibs are great too.

Calmoseptine is SO GOOD. Also, this is EXTREMELY GOOD TOO. Ointment. What you should do is use calmoseptine and this together. Sometimes you should put calmoseptine and this together, then in a few minutes like 5-10 minutes re-apply the vitamin a+d ointment. It will feel WAY colder than usually and provide a bunch of relief. TRUST me on this one. People will recommend maybe getting a bidet or desitin (some people desitin works not bad but not for me at all), but calmoseptine + vitamin a+d IS SO GOOD. Careful about it staining clothes...the calmoseptine more so than the vitamin a+d. GOOD LUCK
Our baby is the cutest.
For our adorable babies butt.
Oh wow! I'm the opposite =( I had to supplement and stop with my first two. Hoping this time is different but I'm not confident. I think it's because I could never get them to latch correctly.
Also, I forgot about this thing. I thought it was kind of cool for putting diaper rash cream on their bum without getting it all over your fingers! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCQMBDW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2CLOBL7EJ9HSY&coliid=I5EKJPHTAXHL9&th=1
Ointments with calendula cream have been helping out over here! I've been using something my aunt recommended called "All Good Goop"
