Hot Foot

Do/have you experienced hot foot when pedaling 5-6 hours? How'd you solve it? It's been a problem for me for a long time, right worse than left. Moving my foot around on the pedal helps. I do have some plantar fasciitis in that foot.

On a recent tour, I carried a pair of water shoes with added insole for expected rain. Light, open weave tops, flexable. When the rain started, I changed from the heavier trail shoes to the water shoes. Big surprise. Instant and continuous relief from hot foot. Mailed the trail shoes home and had no more foot problems for the rest of the tour.
