+1 to all that, without recommending a specific pedal. Those are all good things to try.

I have had terrible hot foot in the past and would also HIGHLY RECOMMEND these Specialized footbeds to prevent collapsing of the metatarsal arch. That has worked better than anything for me when all else had limited results. Best to go to the Specialized LBS to determine which one you need.
