Good advice. I'd add that a good insole will help too. I use
these (along with foil tape on the bottom of the shoe and neoprene covers over the shoe)
Wool socks that are at least calf length help too. If I have to add a second sock, I use a thin bicycle sock under the wool socks.
And, yea, if the shoe is too tight you're screwed
