It's more likely a position and general fit issue. Your saddle might be too far forward to compensate for excessive reach. That would put extra pressure on your forefoot. You might need to move the saddle back and buy a shorter stem. If the foot breakage area continues to be a problem try SPD mtb pedals and dedicated cycling shoes with a rigid out-sole.
