Many of us might have experienced it in our life. The moment one leaves one's socks there will be bad smell which will be unbearable. Sometimes when we remove our socks they give out smell which is really uncomparable to any other bad smell. This is just because of the fact that the feet are having more number of sweat glands than any other part of the body. The sweat glands release perspiration when we got out or do some exercise. And, this will be broken by the Bacteria on the skin which results in the formation light white liquid.that gives very foul smell. The reasons for this bad smell will also be due to 1 Wearing the same chappal/shoe without allowing them to dry. 2. Not washing your feet properly and keeping them inside the shoe which may lead to fermentation inside the shoe 3. Not washing the socks properly and regularly as soon as the shoe are left 4. Other hormonal problems 5. Athlete Foot So keep two pairs of socks always. When one is kept for wash use the other. Further, never keep your foot inside the shoe when they are wet. First take a towel and wipe out the dryness wait for about 10 minutes till they are dried properly and then jerk them inside your shoe.This is the basic principle one should know and teach their children also.

@Shavkat sometimes due to aging there will be excessive or otherwise of the growth of hormones than the usual number in the body especially in women when they cross 50 years. This means there will be a hormonal imbalance. This is possible even in Gents also. Because of this, the feet will be stinky as the activity ie., breaking up of sweat glands will be more in this area .
