As a female slight body frame, about 15#'s overweight, menopausal with surgical hypothyroidism, I use to run, but had trouble with a bone spur on the bottom of my foot. That has resolved, but now at night I will have a "nagging" irritation on the top of my foot. It is intermittent, sometimes not having the irritation for many nights in a row, then it will irritate me other nights and wake me up. I have extremely high arches and wear inserts in all my shoes and try to never so bare-foot. But the nights that I have this problem, the next day it feels better to go bare-foot, because the top of the tennis shoes "rub"/constrict where my foot is irritated. There is no redness or swelling. Rubbing it or applying topical anesthetic does not help the irritation to go away. It goes away during the day, but wakes me/keeps me awake during the night, no matter what position I move my foot to try to relieve it.
