a rather long post about foot pain that included the statements-
1- "I'm using Specialized BG
Comp mountain biking shoes in the appropriate size."
and
2- "Also, clipping and unclipping is a chore. I thought it would get
easier. But it can take me several minutes to clip and unclipping can
be even longer. The fact of having to press down into the core of the
pain to twist the feet off the pedals is part of it."

As for #1, based on your description of how they feel they sure don't
seem to be the "appropriate" size. Buy new shoes.
As for #2, have you checked your cleats for damage and adjusted the
tension screws on the pedals? While some downward force might be
applied, unclipping from SPDs doesn't *require* any. It's a simple
twist of the foot.
