What kind of support are you using inside your shoe? what do you mean by painfully tight? I can't quite picture what you mean. Are you getting good support from your shoes? Are you doing any types of stretch or strengthening excercises for your feet?

wear an insert for high arches. Painfully tight mean the top of my foot feels so tight sometimes it aches Not doing any stretches Other issues with my left foot. Neuropathy numbness in ball of foot Failed cartiva. Probably going to need a Big Toe Fusion

top of foot pain can be from your arch support pushing foot in top of shoe....maybe loosen up shoe strings or try re tying shoe lace in different ways to avoid the area of pain

I also if if don't have any shoes on get top of foot pain, the met pads SEEM to help, waiting for a new pair now, everyday waiting seems like an eternity, and I don't even know for sure if it is going to work someone said my whole met arch collapsed from all the surgeries, so I need a met pad to hold up and the pain sometimes goes away. VERY DEBILITATING.
