Not relevant to the new bike (congrats!!) but I did the same foot thing. Not mountain biking, I walked down the stairs off of a bus and broke mine. If you turn your ankle slightly the wrong way the torsion can snap your 5th metatarsal pretty easily. Stupid easily.
Just one more reason for my reputation for breaking things in ridiculous accidents.
ETA - don't want to imply that I'm currently broken. That happened a couple years ago.
