Hot Foot Help

[tongue_tied]

I know this was from a while ago, but I have the exact same problem - Sidi MTB shoes, SPD set-up, hot foot on my right side. A friend told me it was because of the MTB shoe and a road shoe would be better. I'm hoping this helps, because it's really annoying. Did the other set up work for you/still working for you?

I have this problem if I ride my mountain bike for a longer than normal spell...we went on an all day outing and that problem cropped up. On my MTB I have shimano SPD cleats and I use specialized MTB shoes. I like the SPDs because they are easy to get out of!
Yet I can ride all day (and do) on my roadbike....with Look pedals and Specialized carbon shoes (can't remember the model). They were worth the money for the amount of time I spend on the roadbike.
My ex had speedplays and had a terrible time with hotfoot. He was riding in Sidi shoes that he had had forever. Finally, he switched to better shoes and Look pedals. That fixed that.

If I ride 15+ miles in my Tahos with a soft-ish mtb sole, I get hot foot. I noticed my carbon soled mtb shoes do not give me that problem.

An issue. I am surprised this is not addressed more often by shoe and pedal manufacturers and retailers. Hot foot is really no fun.

I struggle with the problem. I bought super huge and wide shoes for my feet and road them very loose. That helped my feet a lot, but produced toe overlap on my bike. (mtb shoes and pedals on a road bike.)

I have switched to a road shoe and a road pedal to eliminate toe overlap, but am not completely satisfied. My feet are not completely comfortable. I am working on the insole/metatarsal button end of things now. Problem is I have a WIDE foot and the buttons take up too much room.

Best of luck,
