The soles of my feet are hurting me. what should i do?

Podiatrist: If this is a chronic issue - an evaluation by your friendly neighborhood podiatrist may help to determine the cause of the pain. Based on the evaluation, a treatment plan can be developed.

Footwear?: Usually with arch pain i recommend wearing a running shoe with a rigid midsole (stability shoe). If this is not enough try an arch support. If no relief still, go see a podiatrist. Sounds like plantar fasciitis (most have heel pain with this condition, but some present with just arch symptoms).

Orthotics: You will need good supportive shoes and orthotics. Stretching, ice, nsaids, rest may help too.
