Compensation: If you are compensating in your gait on one foot because the other is injured, it will damage it over time. Get them looked at and fix the first one injured to heal the second one.

Yes: The state of one foot often has an effect on the other. A sprain or deformity on one foot can alter posture and gait, therefore affecting other foot. See podiatrist for evaluation and treatment.
