From what I remember of the xrays and explanation, it's right on the very outside edge so I feel it when I go hiking, for example, if I step on a rock midfoot. It's not too much pressure on the forefoot in general, it's that I supinate and rotate at the ankle toward the outside. I do it when walking as well, but my insole manages to cushion sufficiently. I'm thinking now it's something I can train myself not to do if I really concentrate on how I pedal on that side; like it's a bad habit since I don't roll that much on the other side. Ideally *I need something temporary that will make me keep my foot-to-ankle straight instead of caved in.*
Not to keep hammering on it or anything, but . . .How about clipless and wedges to cant your foot? Very easily done. If you want to keep your feet pointed in a particular direction, then cleats with no float and adjust to suit.
