thanks ladies!

I have shimano road shoes right now and when I ride, they are very loose so there's lots of room for air... but still I have hot feet The socks I wear right now are really generic, very thin socks, but I will try some suggested here to see if that makes any difference... Yesterday, I took my socks off altogether and it helped, but still did not eliminate the problem... I'm starting to think its the shoes but I keep hoping its the socks!

Before I stopped cycling (8 years ago) I rode quite often in the bay area and have never had this problem before. Same shoe brand (new model), similar socks, same pedal brand but much different model.

I am really struggling to find a solution as we live in a hot area and this comes up on every ride longer than 20 miles. I don't really want to do sandals as I don't feel like my feet are protected on the road.

Again, thank you for the sock suggestions, I'm going to order some today!!!
