Pain in ball of foot from new shoes?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Metatarsalgia: You can get pain and even bruising on the metatarsal heads (ball of the foot is the 1st metatarsal head) and pain in the joint itself from hyperextension of the joint, as in high heels. If you really want to continue wearing these shoes, perhaps a cushioning insole would help.

Shoes: Shoes should be evaluated for proper fit. They shoe needs to have adequate support and padding as well. The root cause may be the bio-mechanics of your foot...
