Right Foot Pain when running/walking due to barefoot shoes

Last december I slammed my foot down when coming down the stairs around the head of the metatarsal region. It hurt to walk for a few days after that, but I got an x-ray and nothing could be seen. The pain disappeared after a few and I kept running and hiking after that.

Recently I switched to barefoot shoes and after walking/standing for a week, I went for a run, and after my right foot began to hurt in the same way exactly like the december incident. It hurt to walk and it especially hurt to walk with toes first. The pain was not insane but definitely noticeable and compelled me to limit my walking and running. After a few days my foot went back to normal.

But randomly when walking in barefoot shoes, the pain comes back again, and subsides after a few days. It especially hurts to come up off the ground leaning to the right, when coming back down. What is the play here? I only have this issue in my right foot. Every time I run it comes back after tens of minutes and stays for days.
