Foot Sole Pain?!
Question: I normally don't have much of a problem, as far as pain is concerned, walking or running long distances but yesterday was an exception. I walked 7 1/2 miles. By the time I got home, my feet were really sore. It was even worse when I got up this morning and continued throughout the day. It's primarily in the sole of my feet, though the outside side of my feet hurt a little too. The heel and arch feel just fine, but sole almost feels like it's sleeping, you know the feeling? Could this have anything to do with walking in wet shoes/ socks for the most of the time I was out, as there were a lot of puddles from melting snow? What went wrong? What can I do to alleviate the pain?

It could be a number of things but since its both of your feet you may be right in saying its something to do with the conditions you were walking in.
Give it some rest, perhaps take some anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen if you have no problems taking them, and give it a bit of time.
Clearly, if things do not improve, then you will need to go and tell your doctor about it for some further advice.
Hope it gets better soon!
