The only time I had this problem was when I had to wear boots for 18 hours or so a day for work. Are you changing your shoes/socks regularly? Foot powder; Gold Bond, or something like that helps a lot. Also Odor Eaters insoles.
And the dude with the stinky feet who wants to believe that everyone else's do too is a fool. With proper hygiene and foot care it shouldn't be a problem.

Sometimes there is a fungus or bacteria... after a day check the bottom of your feet and if they are white and look like they have little pinholes in them, you have a fungus and you should get it checked out. But if you don't have those symptoms, you should try taking some tea bags and soaking your feet in them... they have some properties that neutralize smelly feet. Maybe also you should try wearing open toed shoes and see what results from that. good luck!

They only smell because they sweat. And, my guess is you're overstating it, because this is YOUR obsession and what you most hide, as your personal physical weakness, etc. etc. What you don't know, is that most people's feet smell after sweating for hours, or all day.. and that includes Heidi Klum, Shakira, Jessica Simpson and Vanessa Hugdens.
Stop rubbing them, and smelling your hands/fingers. Men don't care, neither should you. If you're warm, wear the socks. If your overdoing it, and it's not that chilly.. don't wear socks around the house, but bare feet.. and you'll see that they don't smell... and much of it, is in your own head/nose.

No joke but I saw Dr. Oz on Oprah and he said to soak your feet in tea. Get a bunch of tea bags (Lipton or whatever kind you use) and soak your feet in it at night for a couple of days. It should take the stink out. It worked on some people in the studio audience.

I am a Chef and stand on my feet for 15 hours a day. I had the same problem. I use a mint scented soap for my feet to wash them and a mint scented lotion after I'm done showering. also i bought these little scented balls that i got a payless shoe store. you put them in your shoes when your not wearing them. good luck!

I know it may sound gross BUT if you pee on your feet the smell will go away. You never have to admit you did it to anyone-deny, deny, deny( I never had sexual relations with that woman Monica Lewinsky LOL!!!!!) Gold Bond powder would be good for the sweating.

You should try using an anti-fungul spray and use powder on your feet before putting your shoes on to keep sweating down.

A table spoon of high strength liquid chlorophyll every day will help as it deodorises your foot odours and body odours before they come out of your pores.
It also has a cooling effect so you will perspire a bit less.

Do they look like they're infected with a fungus? Try treating them with an anti-foot-fungus product.
Also, sprinkle some baking soda in your shoes. It will help absorb smells.

Amputate them just above the ankle and get prosthetic feet. That will surely solve your problem.
