Why do your feet hurt?

The primary causes for pain in your feet are due to Step Shock and aging.

Step Shock occurs due to the constant wear-and-tear your feet faces. Since your feet are small, relative to the rest of your body, performing strenuous tasks daily puts an enormous impact on them and often causes foot pain. Each step you take generates a jarring force 50 percent greater than your body weight. The average person takes as many as 8000 pounding steps (three to four miles) everyday on hard surfaces. Incredibly, the feet of 165-pound man bear a cumulative weight of 660 tons a day. We call this tremendous impact “step shock”.

Another main cause is aging. No part of your body needs more protection from pressure and impact than the soles of your feet. That’s the reason the skin on the bottom of your feet are thicker and denser than on the rest of your body. We refer to the fatty pads on the soles of your feet as “natural shock absorbers”. After enduring years of step shock, your natural shock absorbers begin to thin and wear out. That’s why you experience more foot pain as you get older.
