It's almost certainly caused by your lateral arch flattening out. It
puts pressure on a nerve ganglion found in the small bones behind your
toes.
You can correct this with a support or orthortic The support will hold
your lateral arch in the correct position, and take the presure off the
nerve bundle. It is worth looking after in this early stage.
Google about it...

Have you tried keeping your shoes a little looser on your feet? I never
had a major problem with this, but the occasional minor hotfoot seems to
have been cured by loosening the shoes.

That's what's worked for me, along with socks
that don't bunch under my soles. Polyester/cotton
sports socks seem to do that when they've lost
their stretchiness.
