    I had the same problem the first few days.Make sure to stretch your ankles/feet. I did ankle rotaions both directions, flex and point your toes as you do them as well. I did these on and off all day. Also try pretending your writing the alphabet with your feet. I know it sounds funny but it reallly helps arches, top of feet and your shins ( those were sore on me as well)
    By the third or fourth day they were feeling better. I did end up buying some cross trainers as well, but that was porbably end of second week and my feet felt better by then. Hope this helps :tongue:

    I am always sore the first week, but afterwords it gets better as long as you stay active and don't let your muscles get stiff. Also, don't short the stretches. That helps.

    Get yourself some really good cross-training shoes. My feet were hurting at first, too, but I got a pair of Nikes that have the memory foam stuff in them, and now they are fine.
