It's not "hot" shoes and socks that make your feet sweat; it's shoes and socks that don't allow moisture from perspiration to escape. The moisture builds up and your feet feel sweatier -- and smell more.
Switch both to shoes that breathe _and_ cotton socks. Socks made with artificial fiber don't allow your feet to breathe enough (aka, don't let air circulation carry off much of the moisture. Doing this will reduce or eliminate smell, and also some of the wetness.
Mal's right about flip-flops; they're rubber or plastic, and when you put such materials up against skin perspiration collects -- because the rubber/plastic is impermeable to water and traps it against your skin. Like, sitting on a plastic or vinyl seat shirtless (or with a very thin shirt) on a hot day -- your shirt becomes soaked through where it contacts the chair.
Your problem may go beyond the average, but try these things to start, and anti-perspirant foot powder isn't a bad idea, either.
