Foot pain: Remember, everyone's anatomy is different & 1 thing doesn't work for everyone. Get it checked by your podiatrist or orthopedic foot doctor.

Sometimes: It takes time to get used to a different type of support depending on your foot type. Try breaking them in slowly.....

See a podiatrist: A podiatrist can help you with this problem. Are these sandals flip flops or slip on type? Either can definitely create or increase foot & heel pain. Do you also walk barefoot? Wear other shoes or sandals? Sometimes specific shoes are not right for your foot type. Find a nearby podiatrist @ the american podiatric medical association website locator, and take all your shoes w/you for your app't.
