I had the same problem, and finally just stopped wearing shoes except
when absolutely necessary (for the sake of others feet I wore sandals or
thongs) for about 6 months. I kept up the barrage of *powder* fungicides
(I'm dubious about ointments efficacy) and eventually it cleared up.

Perhaps someone could say something authoritative about moisture or something
to back me up?
