Brief Answer:
Probably extensor tendinitis

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

From what you describe it may be extensor tendinitis the inflammation of tendons by wearing tight shoes, or over using foot.
Your doctor can examine you by reflex proves and flexion and extension of foot.

You can use ice compresses, rest, elevate foot and immobilize it.
If they don't work you may need steroid injection.
Let me know if this treatment will work.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
