Why would the arch of my foot be sore?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Plantar fascitis : Common complaint of pain in the arch is due to an irritation of the plantar fascial band. Try wearing a good supportive shoe and stretching before you get out of bed.

Many possibilities: Pain in that area could be due to trauma (fracture, tendon or ligamentous tear, arthritis), infection, inflammation, metabolic conditions (gout) musculoskeletal (bony over growth) or biomechanical abnormality, or neurologic conditions (neuropathy). A thorough history and physical exam and possibly laboratory and radiology exams could determine the cause. Have it evaluated by a professional.
