There are a number of causes of pain on the top of the foot such as a ganglions, tendonitis and metatarsal stress fractures. What most of the barefoot or minimalist runners seem to be describing with the term, TOFP is a dorsal midfoot interosseous compression syndrome which occurs when the forefoot dorsiflexion moments on the rearfoot are too high for the tissues to tolerate and there is some compression over the dorsum of the foot between the tarsal bones and bases of the metatarsals. The treatment of top of foot pain is to increase the forefoot plantarflexion moment with strapping, rearfoot striking, heel raises, calf muscle stretching and foot orthotics with the appropriate design feature.
