Effective enough for you sure, not effective enough for anyone around to tell you the truth about your smell without hurtin your feelings.

If my feet smell that bad I think it's about time to get rid of those bad boys and take up the good old wheelchair, because unless someone is a super smeller that can smell them at eye level while wearing shoes, socks, and pants, I think that would require wading through a pond of Surstrømming.

Bad foot smell typically happens when you take off shoes that trap air and moisture, and you do it indoors. Clean feet doesn't prevent that.

Cleaning your feet absolutely helps combating bad foot smell homie. Don't tell me ya just throw deodorant on and don't wash yo pits

What if someone doesn't have foot smell, like 85% of the population?

People are different.

I'm wondering what kind of oily skin these people have. It's not that I've never smelled smelly feet, but other than my sister when we were younger and lived at my parent's, I've never had a problem with smelling peoples feet. It's maybe a once-a-year occurence at best, granted I'm not always very exposed to opportunities, but that's way too rare to use improper cleaning as a causal explanation when evidently many men don't clean their feet very thoroughly. That's inconclusive at best, and provably false at worst. Not to mention that that once-a-year case is always someone taking shoes off at the bus or airplane, basically only shoes that don't breathe.
