Well if nothing you have tried is holding up, and you are spending about $100 per running shoe, why not invest in some Orthotics to help with the pain? They will be custom made to your foot, which will spread the weight throughout the entire foot. Some people have used acupuncture for this problem, and it has reduced the pain substantially. Also as you have mentioned is the sleave or night splint, where this will keep your tendons lengthened at night, thus assisting with stretching.
I like New Balance as per for a running shoe, and they tend to keep up and take a beating. But then again, I go through running shoes every 5-6 months. I just abuse them. . . .have you tried any cross trainers? I love them, as they are multi purpose in my opinion. For cross trainers I love Fila and K-Swiss.
