I've never thought about strengthening my feet but it certainly makes sense. I know that strengthening my core and upper body helps my cycling, and the core work especially has eliminated back pain so I don't know why you wouldn't get similar benefits from trying to strengthen your feet. Also, if a lot of the problem is in the ball of your foot, perhaps lowering your saddle a few mm so that you could shift the foot forward a bit and center the pedal spindle more toward your arch may help. I had achilles issues last year on my 300k brevet, lowered the seat around 6mm and the pain disappeared. I know it's a bummer when doing what you love to do hurts so I'm wishing a quick, cheap and effective solution for you Michael.
