Yup. With Morton's Foot, you will tend to roll your weight onto the big toe side of the foot with toe-off (which is a very similar situation to pedalling)

That unequal distribution of weight 1st ray to 5th ray will tend to collapse the metatarsal arch. If you've got a Morton's neuroma already, you will feel blinding agony (j/k, but it won't feel nice) and even if you don't you will be mighty likely to get some neural compression and unhappiness.

Mind you, Morton's Foot is *NOT* a problem, it's just a particular type of foot structure. Every foot structure has its issues. Knowing you have Morton's Foot just gives you a heads up on things to watch for.

There are foot exercises (making fists with your toes, splaying your toes out) that help strengthen the intrinsic muscles of the foot, which can be helpful for any cyclist, regardless of their particular foot structure. (just the nature of weightbearing on the balls of the feet makes us need to have spry and juicy muscles in our toes and feet)
