What Causes Foot Pain With Barefoot Walking?

Ok, I was just wondering if my instep (only on my right foot) being painful when I walk barefoot has anything to do with the fact that I wore flip-flops a lot during the summer (and still do). Because it appears that the pain subsides a bit when I put on shoes?

I have seen lots of such cases and I think it is due to flat feet. In this condition person has very poor medial arch. When you walked with bare feet than this causes fatigue and it is the cause of pain.
I would suggest you to avoid walking with bare foot. I would also suggest you to wear medial arch support in the shoes so that you do not fell any fatigue. These arches are ready made available in the market. Along with these arch support you should use hot water fomentation. Also take Brufen tablet for pain relief.
I hope this answer will be useful for you, Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
