The Specialized metatarsal button generally works because it helps to spread the bones apart and relieve pressure on the bones.

You are wise. The foot feels "hot" but pressure and collapse of the metatarsal arch is the culprit. I am going to repeat my recommendation for the
Specialized footbeds because they have been so helpful to me. They support the area behind the toes to prevent the collapsing which will happen even with high quality shoes.
