No: Need more imobilization such as a surgical shoe or boot.

Taping: Proper athletic taping can be helpful for a metatarsal stress fracture. If the pain is alleviated by offloading the area with a combination of felt pads and athletic tape, then it is ok, otherwise a surgical shoe or a cam walker works much better.
