My Nan recommended mustard put into a hot soak, dunno about sore feet, but when I stepped on a nail as a kid, it did stop any infection.

As Spencer says, prevention better than cure, though i'm the opposite in terms of tight laces, mine have to be fairly loose, else me feet get tired to quick.
Decent insoles help, as do 'liner' socks i.e. you wear a thin pair of breathable socks under another thicker pair, stops rubbing and blisters.
I always find that if my feets are tired mid walk, it pays dividends to soak them in a cold stream for 5 mins or so (if you come across one that is....and take the talc along...helps to make sure they are dry when you put yer boots back on)
