Sore feet: Prevention should be the goal and proper footwear is mandatory. Once sore feet occur you could try cold alternating with warm applications and elevating your feet. Apply liniment like bengay. Take an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen as needed. Stretching your feet against the wall is soothing.
