Seeing many people talking about making sure the shoes are dry. PSA - buy a $30 shoe/boot dryer on amazon. It’s amazing. Cheap plastic thing that plugs in. Hang your shoes on it overnight and they are fully dry in the morning.
I got one when my son was playing football and always had wet cleats. Never realized how much I would use it. One of those things that if you have, you use.

I have experienced it but an itch in the butt b/c of the 'roids is way worse.
I had athlete's foot long time ago and it went away by a combination of drying my feet real well after showering, and applying a powder spray before putting my socks on. I did it for about 15 years almost daily.

I’m surprised it took three pages for the shoe dryer to appear.
OP should also look into replacing his insoles every so often as well. The fungus is living in there and if it never dries or gets cleaned he’s going to keep having athletes foot.
It was a pain in the backside but I also used to change my socks a few times when I was regularly working outside.

If you think of the conditions that cause it, try to create the opposite. Fungi thrive in dark, moist conditions. They also thrive in people with high blood sugar. I had toenail fungus and got rid of it by first getting rid of my old shoes. Change socks frequently and when you wash them, use bleach or hot water. Don’t put socks or shoes on until feet have completely dried, esp between toes and make sure no water in the “cracks” of toenails. Use an antifungal for the first few weeks but after that, focus on allowing your feet to dry in the sunlight for a few minutes mid-day. Try to get at least some light to the soles and between toes. Wear flip flops (clean ones!) when you can. And get blood sugar under control. Also, a hairdryer can dry the inside of shoes/
