Pain or discomfort can be felt anywhere in the foot. You may have pain in the heel, toes, arch, instep, or bottom of foot (sole).

Foot pain may be due to:
Aging
Being on your feet for long periods of time
Being overweight
A foot deformity that you were born with or develops later
Injury
Shoes that fit poorly or do not have much cushioning
Too much walking or other sports activity
Trauma

The following may cause foot pain:
1.Arthritis and gout -- Common in the big toe, which becomes red, swollen, and very tender.
2.Broken bones.
