I've had a "fit kit" done for cleat adjustment, I've loosen up the velcro straps so that there is no pressure and the main strap is never too tight. How I know it's from cycling is because when I'm off the bike for about three days, my toes feel no pain. Open to advise.

SF I have that pain in both toes there is a name for the condition. I got in from years of over flexing when I walked -ran at work. Seems that all my stress I put on my feet. I still walk a lot at work now and I feel it when I'm in a hurry. It doesn't hurt all the time but when I massage my feet. & get to the under part of the big toe joint I hit the roof. Very painful. Its not in any of the othet toes
I can't wear flip-flops anymore pain start at ten paces when i wear them. Ill find out the name. Btw it doesn't happen when I'm hiking ( no stress)
