Why do my feet hurt so easily? What's wrong with them?
Question:
About a month later, when my foot seemed fine again, I wore some flat shoes with arch supports in them and my foot started hurting again.
More recently, I ran downhill and shortly thereafter both of my feet started to hurt. The pain is located seemingly in the top of the foot, above the arch.
It's not cramps in my feet... I think I might have weak joints, too. Do I have strange posture and not walk or run properly? If so it's not obvious!
What do you think is wrong? And what should I do about it?
Answers:
you can have problems with your feet shape, too flat arches and that can cause strong pain. Visit a doctor and check. that happens often, can be seen by your footprints. you can injure your feet because of uncomfortable shoes, not very likely but that happens. Looks more like too flat feet, look at your arch closely when you stand, is there much space? if not may be that's the problem. A doctor will tell you for sure
feet are sore,go barefoot and lpse the shoes
. I was thinking 'shin splints' or something similar. You might have the wrong, or poorly-made, shoes for your activity. You might need more support on the ankles or more around the arch. ?

Info from wiki: "...The reason is that unskilled runners overstride, and land heavily on the heel with each footstrike. When this happens, the forefoot rapidly slaps down to the ground. Effectively, the foot, which is dorsiflexed prior to making contact with the ground, is forcefully extended. This forceful extension of the toe causes a corresponding rapid stretch in the attached muscles. A reflex in the muscles responds, causing a powerful contraction. It is this eccentric contraction which leads to muscle soreness and possible injury to the muscle, tendon or connective tissue. " ...
