I had Morton's Neuroma in the past.  It caused excruciating pain and burning 
in my toes.  I'm sure it started when I rode Tevis one year with English 
irons and the wrong footwear.  It became so bad, I finally resorted to 
having a neurectomy.  My foot still hurt and burned for about three years 
afterwards, but since then it's been fine and all I have as a reminder is a 
small scar and a couple of faintly numb toes.
I have found that wide, thickly padded stirrups and Ariat Performers (hard 
soles) in combination work well for me.
