Hi... just recently had the same thing, started doing some shifts where I'm on my feet a lot, on concrete floors... good comfortable shoes are a must, and thin breathable socks. As soon as you can, get your shoes off and give your feet a cool wash & lots of moisturizer afterwards. I've found Lotil is the best cream, especially for the tender heel areas.

Your feet will eventually get used to it, but I know it's horrid at the beginning where they're really reacting like this.

Oh - forgot to say, also Ibruprofen gel helps too when they're really sore!

:) if you can get hold of the brufen gel to rub into your feet, rather than oral brufen, it's more effective - and if they're disturbing your sleep, do it last thing before bed.
