Smart choices with foot pain

I think my reoccurring foot pain may be metatarsalgia.
See Mayo Clinic link: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/metatarsalgia/home/ovc-20262199
The symptoms seem to match, and I am going to try new shoes with better padding and see if a combination of better padding, manual work, icing down and kinesiotapping will help relieve the pain. If these don't work then I will get my foot to a sports doctor to make sure it isn't a stress fracture.
 Here is a Youtube of how to tape for metatarsalgia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xmVRFkh7o4&t=8s     There are a couple of different ways to tape so I will do a little experimenting and keep you updated.
Part of making smart choices was to skip my longer run today.  I am up in Frankenmuth and there really aren't good trail options here.  Whether it's metatarsalgia or a stress fracture I shouldn't be running 13 miles on pavement in older shoes with less padding.  I am opting for running tomorrow very early morning on trail before work.
The two shoes I am considering are the Brooks Caldera and the Saucony Xodus, for those interested
here are the reviews from The Running Shoes Guru, and Gear Institute:

Sorry for the dry report, but hope this may be helpful info for some.

Cheers!
