If those were his exact words then..hmm. "Pressure of the pedals"..on a bike your feet are seeing less pressure than when walking. So..if walking is an issue, then maybe the pedal pressure is also an issue.
For the most part..it seems you're doing laps rather than cutting to the chase and directly addressing the issue. The problem is flexible soles allowing specific pressure on the metatarsal area. If your soles were not flexible, the force applied to the pedals would be spread over all your foot. (not too unlike walking)

There's really no surprise you're having issues. While they may be popular with the hip hop bmx or short haul mtb crowd, they're not real biking shoes. You need to buy some real cycling shoes. Do that and report back on how things are going.
