Killing spores in smelly shoes?

It could just as easily be a bacterial colony of some sort. Perhaps
an encysting bacterium, that easily withstood your attempts to kill
it.

If it does turn out to be a fungus, and you are insistent upon
not using some sort of shoe disinfectant/fungicide (like they
use at bowling alleys) then perhaps you could key it out and
try and find (and inoculate the shoe with) a mycoparasite for that 
species, which may die off after it has totally consumed the 
problem fungus, or at least be less odoriferous.  ;)
