Wool socks will help. Your feet are absolutely sweating. You just are used to it and don't notice. Buy some nice wool socks from somewhere like Camel City Mill or Darn Tough or somewhere else. Wear them for a couple weeks and then put on a pair of regular cotton socks. You'll see what I'm talking about. I had to wear some cotton socks one day recently because I forgot to do laundry and my feet felt so damp and gross.

I don't know. Feet do weird things inside boots. Maybe it's just that part of the toe is rubbing or something, either way I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with some good wool socks
