smelly shoes!

Can anyone offer some tips for keeping my shoes from getting so stinky? My feet sweat quite a bit, so my shoes are damp by the time I finish a run. Even though I rotate through two different pairs to give the shoes extra dyring time, they still smell bad. I mean, they really stink. I've tried spraying them with Lysol, but then they just smell like stinky shoes with a coating of pine scent.

I think part of my problem is that genetics have blessed me with extra smelly feet. In high school, people who signed my yearbook made mention of my foot stink. In college, I once caught my roommates spraying my empty shoes with disinfectant. Eventaully, they wouldn't let me bring them in the room and I had to leave them outside.
