I suffer from "hot foot" which is a Neuroma under the point where the small toe meets the metatarsal. My podiatrist tells me it's mostly due to stretching of the assorted ligaments and tendons that comes with age, thus there's less support provided for the middle of the foot, I will on occasion use inserts that support the foot, but also have migrated to a shoe that has a stiff midsole, carbon Shimano SH-XC-7's in this case. Thus better support in the middle of the foot. If I were commuting and got wet regularly, I might end up with 2 pairs of shoes, wear one pair while the other dry's out.
