I'm not sure my feet problem is the same as yours, but for what its worth..... I sit most of the day, and the blood circulation is poor (I was toldto keep moving my feet in figure-8s to improve it, but rarely do). Hence my feet are always a bit swollen, the left more than the right, and slightly numb. The pain that developed under two of the toes of my left foot several months ago, however, was so severe that I finally went to a podiatrist. The problem was that my shoes had become too tight and hence were rubbing the bottoms of my toes with every step, whichmed meant that the flesh under the calluses of the two painful toes was being inflamed (I had thought the calluses were blisters). The solutions: the podiatist cut away much of the dead tissue of the calluses, wash my feet once a day and purchase a larger-size shoe. All this I did -- going from a ten and a half to a full 12 before finding a comforting fit in one of the brands the doctor recommended (Angel? I don't recall -- but the pull-on tabs sport "Gel"). This, plus the thigh-high, white, anti-blood clot hose my regular doctor now has me wearing (they make me look like a drag queen!) seem to keep my painful feet problem in check -- barely! I hope this helps.
