Not to go all Earl Butts* on you, but are you sure your shoes aren't too tight?
Fred and Ed have a free article on hot foot at:

The problem source is pressure. So a soft insole may not be much help. 
An insole, per se, won't take pressure away, just spread it a bit.  Which may
be all you need. Or they make the problem worse.

What you see is from outside yourself, and may come, or not, but is beyond
your control.  But your fear is yours, and yours alone, like your voice, or
your fingers, or your memory, and therefore yours to control.  If you feel
powerless over your fear, you have not yet admitted that it is yours, to do
with as you will.
