Toe pointers, where are you feeling the arch pain? I have dealt with outer arch (peroneal tendon) pain on my right foot a few times over the past couple of years. What solved the issue was moving to running shoe with a more flexible forefoot, then adding Superfeet insoles to give a bit more rearfoot stability. But when I get this pain on the bike I'm not sure how to prevent it. I'm a toe pointer, too.

My pain has gotten better as I've ridden more miles, so maybe it's just a newbie issue in my case.
