VA Guy, I've been dealing with big toe joint pain in my right foot for about 18 months now. Got an X ray a few months back and was diagnosed with Hallux Limitus (partial arthritic joint). I've been able to manage it with Hokas (which have a rockered sole that limits bending of the big toe) and one of these inserted into my right shoe, which you can't even feel:

Sometimes the joint still hurts after really long runs (15 miles plus), but again, it's manageable, at least for now. Good luck!
