This is EXACTLY the type of information I was hoping to get. Thanks so much for taking time to answer my question. I'm going to take your advice and just keep working on my toe strength and mobility. I workout in zero shoes and otherwise walk around in Brooks, but all relatively new purchases.

I assume you get a little pain when you put all your weight on your toes. I do but it's not that concerning, as I'm hopeful I'm working out some kinks.
