Many possibilities: Toe pain could result from different reasons, of which may include: trauma (fracture, tendon or ligamentous tear, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout) musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality, or neurologic conditions (neuropathy). A thorough history and physical exam and possibly laboratory and radiology exams could determine the cause. If symptoms persist get it evaluated.

Toe pain: Gout usually affects the big toes. Most likely your pain is related to your walking regimen. An interval resting period me be appropriate.

No: I would not say that it is normal. Gout can certainly cause pain and swelling in the toe, particularly the great toe. There are other causes that may be more related to your walking such as a stress fracture of the metatarsal neck. Usually a exam and appropriate studies can determine the cause. Thank you for your question.
