I've been training hard for a tour in September, but have developed a painful, sensitive spot under and on the side of my big toe.  I can't apply full power or stand up on the pedals for long because of the pain.

Can anyone recommend a good podiatrist in Cape Town?

Thanks.

+1 for Chris Delpierre.
He also sorted out my inners for my cycling shoes and other shoes.

Chris Delpierre is a legend. He has looked after me for about seven years now. I went to him when a orthopaedic surgeon recommended an ankle reconstruction. Chris said no way, we can treat this conservatively with orthotics and I have never looked back!
I only see him when i buy new shoes and want an orthotic built in.
