Glad to help. A doctor on here gave me some good advice and I wanted to pass it along. Neuromas are all too common with distance cyclists and runners in particular because prolonged repetition magnifies any mechanical deficiency. Neuromas can be prevented and cured but the point made earlier by another poster that has lived through this painful issue is you have to break the cycle of repetition by making a change. Supporting the arch not only separates the metatarsal heads such that they don't implode on one another but also locates the foot in the shoe such that it can't rotate and pronate. I basically violated every major tenent of what a proper cycling shoe fit is and wanted to share what I learned to others in the hope that they can ward off this malady. A neuroma is nerve damage that is hard to reverse. The good news is I am on my bike and perhaps next year will seek harder soled cycling shoes but for right now I want to flex my arch and try to strengthen my feet using platform pedals.
Best of Luck.
