Hi just started using a kataki as the weapon of choice but have found I am getting foot pain (like a cramp) in the outside arch of my feet (shown in picture) within one trad pitch. I've only ever worn fully soled rock shoes before so I'm theorising my feet aren't used to the lack of support and will take time to strengthen in this area. Has anyone else had experience with this?

In reply to dinodinosaur:

Google about the peroneal tendon, it runs from the calf, all the way down over the ankle and attaches roughly where you picture. It's not the strongest or most stressed, but it does a lot of work related to balance or rapid changes in direction in some sports.
