I'm currently on a tour Down Under and so I'm doing quite a lot of distance (about 100km/day). For some reason, I've started to develop foot pain on the right side of my right foot under the proximal phalange (it's a bone in the foot for those who know). Whilst I'm on the bike, the pain comes and goes - usually worst when I'm climbing! The pain goes away as soon as I'm off the bike.
I've done a lot of cycling but the extra work of touring presents new problems. I've got orthotics in my cycling shoes. I do the necessary calf stretches.

What do people think the problem could be?
Is the bolt on your cleat too long? Perhaps there's a stone in your shoe.

Wombats nibbling your feet? Checked for spiders before putting your shoes on?

60 miles per day isn't particularly a long distance.
