Baking soda.
Yank the insoles, and fill em with baking soda for a day or two. Throw out the insoles and replace with new ones.

seriously this works: throw them in your freezer overnight (in a bag of somesort). The freezing temperature kills the bacteria that are causing the stink. Works great on biking shorts and socks, or any other synthetic fabric (particularly polypropylene) that holds on to odour despite washing ...

Dr Scholls foot powder applied liberally to the insides of the shoes periodically and let to sit at least overnight. I've had good luck with this.

Oh yeah, and if you can wash it, go for Oxi-clean. That sh*t fixes everything.

Another option is just to soak the inside with simple green or the like. Don't rinse it off.
This is the best if you realize the shoes are unbearably stinky just before you head out the door.
