I just picked up a pair of photon steps-on's and the pinkie toe and the Tailor's bunion gets hot spots just laying around the house trying to heat mold these things. Usually wear a size 10 boot but went down to a 9 at first. After wearing them for 1 hour around the house my foot went numb and had severe hot spots in those areas. Then the same thing with the 10 just not as much numbness. No its not over tightened but it is tightish as it should be. When the outer cleat is under pressure from tightening the boa it really notches down into your foot causing pain and soreness within 10 min. I hate to say that since I've waited on a list all summer to pick mine up and now I'm probably going to either return them and scrap the whole step on system all together or try to see what other solutions are out there... My foot is not wide I tend to fit in a more euro shoe which typically is slimmer but this is a serious design flaw and will eliminate many people from enjoying this set up. AARRH!! Anyone here experience this similar issue find a fix? TIA!
