Shoes like that can be a bit stiff at first. I have a pair of expensive leather shoes that I wore for too long the first day and gave me a blister on my toe for a week.

After that I wore them a bit at a time, got thinner socks and they’ve broken in so that they’re fine now.

Get shoe trees and keep them in there when not wearing. Wear them in short stints - 15 mins to the store and back, around the house for a bit, etc.

The leather should stretch and form to your foot as you wear them more often.

I don’t know if it’s a medical thing or not, but I do know that it has as much to do with your socks as your shoes.

Make sure you have moisture wicking socks. Feetures, Nike Dri-fit, smartwool, etc.

Any mesh shoe will be ventilated better than leather/pleather or anything that is waterproof.

Make sure you get comfortable shoes. The ones you posted look awful for comfort so make sure to try them on.

Make sure they’re right for the application. If you need business casual work shoes try knit or canvas.

Let your shoes dry out. Don’t wear the same ones all the time - they’ll wear down quicker and hold on to moisture. Alternate shoes daily. I use shoe trees for leather shoes and I keep the paper/cardboard insert for others to help them keep shape and soak up moisture.

I wear Nike and Brooks size 11.5, Cole Haan size 10.5, and pretty much everything else size 11.

Every shoe fits a little differently - many places have something on their website that says “runs small” or “runs large” or “true to size.”

Dress shoes tend to run small - they should fit snugly and are worn with thin socks. Boots run a little big to accommodate thick winter socks. Athletic shoes vary a bit but Nike’s tend to be narrow so I go a half size up.

A bit of trial and error sometimes.

My best advice is to get some better socks, get shoe trees, and rotate shoes (wait a day in between wearing same pair).

Smartwool makes breathable durable socks, as does Darn Tough.

Shoe trees and waiting a day makes sure your shoes have time to dry out between uses.

Find a couple sale pairs and alternate them. See if that helps with the sweatiness.

What types of socks and shoes have you been wearing? Just curious as pleather and thick socks can contribute to this.

There’s plenty of styles of knit and breathable dress shoes. Cole Haan, wolf & shepherd, Johnston & Murphy, etc. Check for sales at DSW, Nordstrom rack, places like that will have good prices.
