Why do feet only smell after a wash?

Question:

I spend a lot of time bare-footed any my feet do not smell (or at least I do not notice). But the strangest thing happens: after I take a shower in which I wash my feet, they tend to smell for 2-3 hours after the shower.
What is the explination and what can I do to prevent it?

Other Answers:
Feet never smell. The nose smells and your feet stink.

Clean the floor of you shower. You're probably picking up the smell from the rest of your body;s stink. Wash your feet last, and dry them off.

The bacteria are there and if you are barefooted, they don't have an opportunity to do much since the area is generally dry. Once you shower, then they get wet and can grow. If you use something like FootFresh or melaleuca oil after you have washed them, it will make a difference.
