Why do i experience knee and ankle joint pains after walking for a long period of time?

It is possible : You are stressing them to much, possibly poor biomechanics. Maybe you are a good candidate for orthotics? A podiatrist would be able to examine and make a recommendation at an in office exam.

Several things: It may be overuse injury, could be arthritis, could be improper fitting shoes, may not be proper support for your feet.
