Doc says it is a nerve I've aggravated, in between my outer toes (actually the 2nd and 3rd toes). Since it's healing she recommended some toe stretches, and a small pad to put in my shoe to get some pressure off the affected area. She said I can ride clipless as long as the pain doesn't return...

The wonderful suggestions in this thread led me to pickup some MKS touring pedals and Powergrips. I got the XL straps fearing my size 12s would be too much for the normal length straps. As another poster noted earlier, I probably should have got the regular straps. I have the XLs at the tightest setting, and I could still probably punch an extra hole or two. I've put these on the Breezer for now, and I really enjoy it. It's a little loose for some of my shoes, but fits the wider ones pretty well... time to drill some holes and try to tighten them up.

As soon as I can get the straps a little tighter, I'll give this setup a try on my fixed gear commuter. I also have some XL toeclips on the way, going to give those a shot and compare the different platform options. I really hope I can move over to some of platform pedals for my daily city bikes and leave the clipless on my weekend warriors.
