My LBS is bringing in the custom footbed thingee used for ski boots. They think that having a rigid footbed (not sole) is the crucial piece. With a fully rigid footbed molded to your foot, your foot won't collapse and squidge around. This makes sense to me. I've worn prescription rigid orthotics since 1976 and have never had hot foot issues (not that a statistic of one is any good). They think that Superfeet with the black plastic piece underneath is only a bandaid that works for some.
I posted in bj asking about eSoles and TsPoet got a pair. Wonder if she has or had hot foot.
Anyone use rigid insoles (not Superfeet) and also get hot foot? Just curious.
I'm also going to try to find you a link to the Lin Silkeez sock which is amazingly cool and thin but this really doesn't sound like your problem.

i never suggested she limit herself to carbon soles (my first VERY comfortable pair of shoes weren't carbon soles... but WERE specialized brand)... and i didn't recommend sidi at all.... i said that specialized were way more comfy than sidi's!

These are the thinnest socks I've ever found and I can only find them on REI. I love them for road cycling on really hot days but I wish they came in white.

Oooh Oooh!!!! Thanks SK and Denise, I'm gonna try those two first!!! I am also going to start re-thinking my pedals... I might make a list of everyone's fav's and just go and compare. I used to have some other shimanos that were much smaller and I didn't have any problems so maybe its a pressure point thing???
Thank you SO much everyone; I so appreciate all of your help!
Tracy
