I wear clean socks and breathable shoes, it's cool, my feet don't sweat but they smell bad all the sudden, they never have before. what could cause it?

Foot Fungus...: Athelete's foot would be the most likely cause of a bad odor coming from your feet. I might also explore the crevices around your toenails for fungal growth or retained sloughed skin. This often happens without notice when nails have been painted over.
