Hello! I am 20 years old and recently my boyfriend and best friend convinced me to start working out. I do not look like my weight (as in I have no rolls or anything) and I come from a family of line backers and weight lifters so I am pretty meaty but I still need to loose 80 pounds to be healthy or in a healthy range.

So I have recently been taking walks around my neighborhood and I started my walks at 35 minutes and today I did 45 (I started this five days ago and have walked everyday).

Bacially what I am trying to say is that I have bought Dr. Scholls (or however you spell it) insoles (sport for women) and my feet burn! Like after five minutes they are burning, and it's a painful burn. I stand at work for 8+ hours a day and they never burn, but walking has been hurting them so badly. I did that Walmart Dr. Scholls test and it says that I walk on my heals.

Am I doing something wrong? My legs and arms and body don't even hurt after working out, its just my feet that feel it.

    Have you tried walking without the insoles? I know if you go to a running store they can give some pretty expert advice on shoes and on your feet and insteps. I would probably give that a go before you end up giving yourself an injury. Hope this helps :)

    you've told us about the inserts, but what about the actual shoe? and socks, while we're at it. you could be walking 3 miles barefoot in penny loafers, for all i know
