I've read all the foot problem threads, I think, but didn't find this specific issue.

This is a problem I've had before, but it was rather bad on today's ride. The pain in my feet, esp my left, is located below the center toe, and at the base of the ball portion of my foot. It feels like there is a lack of padding between the bone and the skin, so that when the pressure from the pedal is continous, it hurts.

I'm shifting the cleat back a little on the left shoe. But my question is will an insert help this and if so which one?? I saw the superfeet insoles and have noted who carries them.

Any suggestions appreciated
