Plantar fasciitis: You have a condition called plantar fasciitis. You should see a podiatrist and have a set of custom molded functional forefoot orthosis made and your pain should resolve.

Plantar Fasciitis: Likely explanation for this is plantar fasciitis, very common in individuals who do a lot of walking. Simple solutions for this problem involve calf stretching and cushioning for shoes; if no better after 3 months, a consultation with an orthopedist would be of benefit.
