I asked the same thing about my sister.
Have you taken her to the Vet? There might be fungal issues there. Have you trimmed the fur between her toes?
My parents dog smells like corn chips but I like it better than the poop she could smell like.

That's a good link that Deogie gave.
Although I agree that low quality dog food is not ideal under any circumstances, we have no idea whether or not the person who asked this question is feeding their dog high quality food or not, or feeding raw or making food at home.
How could we know that?
And corn chip smelling feet have nothing to do with corn in the diet. It's simply a coincidence that the feet can have a smell we associate with chips.

lol Bam-Bam has frito feet... When we were doing his xrays the vet was going nuts smelling his paws because she loves it!!! Considering I don't like fritos, frito feet aren't my thing. And he's on a raw diet, so in his case, I think it's just a case of a big, damp, dark area.

Diet may be the trouble, but there's also an infection dogs can get reffered to as "frito feet". It comes, I'm told, from not clipping the hair between the toes, which can create a damp environment.

Ok, so maybe I'm weird, but I LOVE that warm doggie smell! I missed it so much after My Dreamer passed on and now that Kira is here it's such a wonderful cozy smell to wake up to!

You can try PAW CREAM from PETfection. check it out on www.myPETfection.com. Your choice of Lavender or Peppermint Scent! Plus if she really does have an infection it will help kill it off.

My little Jack smells just like a bag of fritos even hours after we bathe him! He is on a wheat AND corn free diet and eats a very high quality food, so we have no idea where the smell comes from. Weird,

My dog has the same thing... I recently found on line a remedy and can be done weekly or by weekly
- clip fur around pads
- cut toe nails
-fill bathtub with warm water just high enough to cover the dogs feet add 2-4 tablespoons of baking soda and let the dogs fee soak for 5 min
-then drain and saturate feet with white vinegar wait 5 min
-then bath(with Proseb antiseptic, anti-fugal, antibacterial shampoo for dogs and cats. you get it at the vets) the dog fully paying special attention to his feet with soap then rinse
-dry their feet well between pads and toes
It will help cut the odor down drastically and can eliminate. This has done wonders for my dog
