Sandra -

Your description of your toe pain sounds exactly like something I could have written myself. I've been having the same toe issues, except only on my right foot. It feels like a burning, tingly, sensation...at times when it's really flaring up, it almost feels like my toes are broken. My podiatrist did an ultrasound and thinks there might be a small neuroma there...but isn't 100% positive. So she wants me to get a NCV/EMG test done to see if this could all be stemming from a nerve issue that originates in my lower back (I have a spinal deformity at my L5 vertebra). In the meantime, I have gone through a myriad of running shoes, with nearly all of them causing pain in my 3rd & 4th toes. Then on a whim, I decided to try a pair of Nike Free Run+ (the latest version), and to my surprise...the toe pain has diminished immensely. It has to be due to the very forgiving material of the Nike Free...it really "gives" and accommodates my toes, allowing them to spread out with plenty of wiggle room. You might want to give 'em a try and see if they help.
