This happened in slippers, gym shoes, Keen's, everything. It was not a shoe issue. It was 100% solved by me finding a saddle that fit me. And then I stopped pinching those nerves that led down to the foot.

Perhaps your sitting over the edge is pinching something?
What makes me inclined to think that my foot issue is my shoes is that I had a wider saddle, previously...and still had the foot issues. Only then I also had inner thigh and up-front numbness/pain issues, as well.

My feet are seriously wide...I measure D width--or even a hair wider, but that would put me in men's cycling shoes...I have wide toes, but narrow heels--I have never had luck with men's shoes. Back in the day I played soccer...before there were women's shoes. I always had raw heels. Sidis are probably the last brand I should be in (it's about all our LBS carries, though). The meaty outer side part of my feet spills over the hard plastic sole, especially on my larger right foot. If I had the velcro forefoot straps much looser they'd not hold at all.

I also think I probably require some more medial stability features (this page really shows what my knees do when I pedal--the insides of my lower thighs often brush my top tube), but I can't add any sort of insole or forefoot wedging to my shoes...those paper-thin Sidi insoles are too thick, as is. Today I was pedaling up a hill, butt out of saddle, and my right foot cramped-up...toes overlapping. That was fun.
