Athlete's foot is actualy the result of fungi infection. There are some basic steps that will give you good result.
1. Neatness: You need to wash your feet regularly. wash between the toes when you bath and when you have come from an outing.
Make sure you have several pairs of sock. wash them immediately after use and use each pair only once before washing. Make sure they are always dry.
Wash the tongue of your sneakers as often as possible to get rid of any fungi build up and the stench too.
Clip your toe nails regularly so that the fungi will not build a colony under them.
2. Air your feet: Your feet need to breath. Don't always wear cover shoes. Interchange with sandals and slippers. If you work in an office and can't  wear anything but shoes, ensure that you buy shoes that are lined inside with absorbent materials. Remember to apply the neatness tip above.
3. Medicate: There are many over-the-counter anti-fungi creams you can get for about #400.00 Basicaly anything that contains clotrimazole as an active ingridient should do. Try Clotrimax or anyother good one you can get.
4. Massage:This is just to ease the strain in your feet and give you a good circulation. Good circulation helps heal many ailments.

Note also that people who tend to sweat from their feet alot have a higher risk of athlete foot. If you fall into this category, ensure that youchange your socks several times a day (even if you have to carry extras with you to office in your brief case). Use cotton socks instead of silk since the cotten socks are more absorbent.
Good luck.
