My strategy would be to fiddle with the cleat position, loosen the
straps and laces, then wear a cheapish pair of touring shoes in a
generous size, such as specialised sonoma.You might feel you want to get
away from specialised. Decathlon do some. A more flexible comfy shoe
might be the answer. I find that rigid road shoes hurt by the end of a
200km ride, as you might expect if you strapped your feet to a rigid
board for the whole day.
I suppose it could not be that you are sitting on your sciatic nerves or
disturbing blood flow to the legs could it? I have had that problem on
gymn equipment and aeroplane seats, though it does not sound exactly
right except when you wrote that you felt you had to get the circulation
going again.
