I've had a professional fitting, and I wear Sidi shoes that I've had good luck with. Last summer I switched to a Selle Strike SMP saddle that was working well, but this summer I keep having the foot problem. Should I switch to another saddle? (Selle An-Atomica is being considered.) See a podiatrist? Any other 300 pound roadies who ride centuries who can give a brother some help?
Try raising the bar a tad. Say up to level with the bars.
Foot prob: Try Sidi Inserts in the shoe?
Just a couple of solutions off the top of my head.
