Fungus.: Most likely a fungus. Wash feet with an antibacterial soap for the odor and apply an anti fungal cream at bedtime. Use an anti fungal powder in the morning. Sprinkle it in your socks.

Fungal: Sounds like a fungal infection aka tinea pedis. The smell could be associated with fungal organism but likely the odor is excessive sweating.
