Could it just be the shoes?
So I’ve been experiencing foot aches on some of my longer rides. The shoes “seem” to fit fine and always have. If I take my shoes off at rest stops and give my feet a little break and some flex, they seem to be fine. Could it still be the expensive Specialized shoes 
or is it just that my feet hate not flexing for so long?

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

NOt flexing, gettng a little swelling, developing hot spots. It happens worse with sneakers ion platforms, though.

Exactly. The Specialized shoes fit better than most and theyr body geometry design also helps a lot. Try strapping them a little looser, too. As your feet swell, they tighten up and can get too tight if you have them strapped for unswollen feet. Don't be afraid to loosen them up on the ride, either.
