Because the muscles in your calf run down to your foot over the heel, it makes sense that those muscles could refer pain down into your foot. However, if you press on a spot in your foot and it hurts, I would suspect that is where the problem is. If you have pain in your foot and try to push on that area and it doesn't get worse.....I would think your problem would be more proximal. (Up toward the calf more)
If it is a muscle in the calf that is referring this pain downward, then trigger point therapy could be of benefit. Read more on trigger point therapy and you'll see what I mean
