I've tried concentrating and putting all the pressure on my heels, it seems to work for a bit, but then the pain comes back.

The velcro on my shoes are so loose, my shoes could probably slip off.

I just figure that the ingrown toenail removal went very wrong and now have damage to those two toes. But I could be wrong.
Even though you bought a larger size shoe, it might be possible that you just need a shoe with a wider toe box. This was my problem, and finding a shoe with a wider toe box (Northwave Velvet SBS) solved that problem. Notice that I said wider toe box and NOT a wider shoe in general. Just an idea that I thought I would throw out there.
