It's common enough among through hikers that I have heard of it even though I'm not interested in hiking. It's strange that the most common advice I've run across for sizing bike shoes in that regard is to measure your feet in the morning, when they're not swollen. I realize most rides are shorter than a couple of hours, but an awful lot are longer, too. It seems like something that should get more coverage.
