Hot foot is exactly the same thing that some women get when they wear high heels. There's nothing cycling specific about it.
In addition to:
- move the cleats back so you put less pressure on the nerves in your feet
- loosen your shoes
- wear wool socks
You might also try the little pads that women who wear high heels often wear in their shoes to ease high-heeled shoe hot foot.
