Help please! is an elliptical machine less likely to cause foot pain than a spin bike?

Neither should: Cause pain, so if you have pain, there is an issue which needs to be figured out......

Yes: In my opinion yes, because on an elliptical machine your foot should stay flat and in contact with the foot plate.
