Big toe infection: Sounds much like an infection from either an ingrown toenail or possibly a blister, both of which are from your new shoes. Either your shoes don't fit or just need to be broken in. Please, consult your podiatric physician or your primary care doc for further evaluation.

See a podiatrist: It sounds as though you may have a blister or ingrown toenail. See a podiatrist.
