Why is the vein on the top of my foot sore to touch?!


Question: When you specifically stated "vein" then I'm assuming that it isn't just the top of your foot; it is something that is localized in one of the veins.

I suggest that you seek a medical opinion as this could be an early sign of thrombophlebitis, that is, a blood clot in an inflamed vein. In general something like tight shoes would result in pain around the entire area, and would not be limited or specific to only the vein. Also, if you notice a red color streak following up the course of the vein, then its a very worrisome sign. See your doctor or go to the nearest emergency room.

it might be that you have been wearing shoes to small or tight be carefully when tying your laces tight enough to keep shoes on not stop circulation in the foot

I also think it is the shoes or socks you are wearing.Think socks can fold as you put your foot in the shoe, and then put presser on the vein. Rub your feet when you take your shoes and socks off, to get the circulation going.
