Pretty sure odor eaters are insoles made for shoes for this exact problem. They prolly like 1 dollar at a dollar store in the states. I recommend looking into that.

May I suggest you wash them once in awhile?

yeah it's one of two things: either you need to better wash your socks/shoes; or you haven't washed your feet well enough, same thing happens to people with bad b.o, even though they shower the "stink" is so absorbed in their skin and crevices that one normal shower won't do. try scrubbing your feet 4 with soap and repeat four more times.
also, if it's the former, it might be easier to just get new shoes and socks.
if that fails, then it might be something i read awhile back about a rare genetic defect that is causing the smell which may or may not have a treatment; see your doctor.
update us on which it was.
edit: i can't believe i want an update on this

Change your socks more than once a week.

same vein as others above, but don't shower, take a bath instead if possible, and let your feet soak in hot soapy water for an extended period before scrubbing them, then use fresh thicker socks and you should be good (more serious problems aside at least)

wash your feet with green tea is a better solution. use luke warm water and then very cold water after wards.

Do your shoes breathe well enough? I had this same problem in a pair of shoes that had absolutely no air flow. Also consider washing them as it is a cycle - the new sweat unlocks the dried old sweat and makes it even worse.

If you don't have socks, wear them. They absorb moisture and spread it around so that it isn't so concentrated and stinky.

Change socks every day, take a shower ever day. Clean your shoes (as the smell is probably inside of them, and staying), and then see how things go from there. If not, take the other people's advice. Green tea, scrubbing. Maybe even lotion?
