If you are wearing pointy narrow toe shoes - then it is most likely bunions.
Here are some helpful articles:

Gout pain is primarily in the big toe, which is also where it starts. It is caused by a Uric Acid build-up, which can be due to numerous complications. Nonetheless, none of this is good. It could also be an infection of sorts, but the soreness in the joint makes me think it is gout. Go to the Dr very soon.

You have a bunion, probably with another problem also if it is sore at the last joint. It could be gout, but gout is usually too painful to touch long enough to pop.
Go see a podiatrist.

It might be gout but have a doctor look at it.
