Hot Foot

Hello,
I have been cycling for about 6 months. Daily rides range from 20 miles to 30 miles and 50 to 70 on weekend. My worst affliction is the dreaded "Hot Foot" with sore butt close behind. I am using SPD pedals with Pearl Izumi Vagabond shoes and wearing regular department store variety athletic socks which are rather thick. I am awaiting recently ordered cycling socks and cycling shorts from Hammer hoping this may help. I have loosened shoes up as much as possible to no avail. Bottom of both feet still feel squeezed and buring. I had been experiencing Hot Foot with Egg Beater pedals that I was using before. I switched to SPD's thinking it would help but, it has not.

I am just about to order one of the S! saddles from Neuvation while they are on sale. Could butt pain some how be causing foot pain?

My buddy and I are trying to get ready for upcoming Hotter 'N Hell Hundred so I need to get my problem areas resolved pretty soon.

Any suggestions please?

Steve
