You need to watchout about how much you put inside the shoe - several pairs of socks along with insoles can take up the room you have in there and put undo pressure on your toes or toe nail areas and cuase other problems that will be far worse. Speaking from personal experience - durring a camp I used several pairs of socks and insoles over the three day period and damaged 4 toenails to the point that they had too come off - Go to a running store and get the shoes sized properly.
Also I carry two pair and extra socks if it is too wet I change them at the half or between games of a double header.
Take a pair of sandals or flip-flops with you to wear in the locker room and do not put your socks and shoes on until about five minutes before you are ready to take the floor. Immediately (or as soon as you can) after the game rinse off in a shower that is not steaming hot for about five minutes then sit and relax for about 10 minutes or so and then go back and take a long luke warm shower. Hot water will do nothing to lower your internal core temperature and it is not good for your skin. May speed up the cooling down process and help you stop sweating - also get water into your system.
