Metatarsalgia

Foot pain in the "ball of your foot," that area between your arch and the toes, is generally called Metatarsalgia (met'-a-tar-sal'-gee-a). The pain usually centers on one or more of the five bones (metatarsals) in this mid-portion of the foot.   Sometimes, Metatarsalgia is caused by a callus that forms on the bottom of your foot. A callus is a build-up of skin that forms in response to excessive pressure over the bone. Normally, a callus is not painful, but the build-up of skin can increase the pressure and eventually make walking difficult.

Shoe Recommendations
In this instance it is important to support the arch. Even more important than padding the problem area.  Additional forefoot cushioning is also helpful.
