Based on your description she's all buttoned up/dapper type, therefore she's most likely using odor eaters or foot powder as foot odor is not as common place in american culture as it is in cultures where people take their shoes off before entering a home for example. All feet smell to a degree, she most likely changes shoes often or is using such products.
Also occupationally does she have to wear the same pair of shoes for some time, possibly with nylons or other synthetic socks? Does she have expensive all leather shoes or cheaper "man-made materials" shoes, those tend to smell up faster.
Your sense of smell may also be impaired, it does happen over time. To my recollection as a child, all adults smelled bad, my mothers perfume and makeup was overwhelming, that goes away over time.

I sort of have that problem also. My girl's feet rarely have any smell and sometimes I wonder if it is just because she's a small looking size 7. But she does have these ballet flats that she has worn the crap out of, including long long walks in NYC with. Those things REAK! And one day she took them off and I got a whiff, the smell was almost too much to bare for even me. But, yes a natural nice little smell would be great to have and my girl doesn't even have that Posts: 707 | Registered: Feb 2005

It's probably because she uses a pumice stone in the shower, as mentioned above odor eaters, foot powder or spray. Washes her feet vigorously with soap. Wears open toe shoes/sandals only. Very frequently gets pedicures. Uses a ped-egg etc..
The human foot male or female sweats about a cup a day on average. However if there is no extra skin in the shoes to rub off, then no smell.
It's highly unlikely it's natural, it's probably induced by lotions, antiperspirants or other chemical products that she either applies to her feet or into her shoes. There would be some odor no matter what if those are not used.
Us girls just learn to do this along with all the other tricks that make us look good and smell nice.
My younger sister who is a size 7 1/2 - 8 (please don't ask for pictures) had very smelly shoes, I used to steal some of them to use for sessions back in the day. She started using foot spray in her shoes one day, he shoes did not smell again. She did it because she was seeing this ultra "neat-freak" guy.
So in all likely-hood all of the OP's and your problems are from Johnson & Johnson or some other chemical company.
I'm a size 6 and since I don't use any chemicals my feet smell all the time, except for when I wear brand new shoes, then they smell like the shoe store desiccant for a bit.
