Better shoes : You are likely wearing poorly fitting or unsupportive shoes. Try getting better shoes or considering z-coils if still no improvement.

Try: More supportive shoes, inserts as well as stretching exercises, ice and massage. If this still persists, see podiatrist for complete diagnosis and treatment.

Plantar fascitiis : Is what it sounds like. Don't procrastinate with treatment, the longer you wait the harder it is to deal with. Good arch supports, icing of the foot, achilles tendon stretches, and antiinflammatories are a good start. If pain persists see a podiatrist.

Many possibilities: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy). A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause.
