Big toe is slightly red and it extends to about an inch to the foot. only on left foot. does not burn or itch and it seems to be more red in shoes.

Two possibilities.: A directed history of the issue is needed. I always consider the possibility of gout when the big toe is involved, pain or no pain, swelling or no swelling. It could also be that your shoes are the culprit. Try not wearing that particular pair and see if the problem abates.
