I've been running a lot recently and my feet have started hurting more and more each time I run. I tried switching shoes already but that didn't help at all. It's getting to the point where I don't want to run any more to avoid the pain.
Can anyone provide any input? Am I running incorrectly? I try to heel step, is that right?
run less

you haev cancer
I guess I'll try that.
I doubt that.
your toes don't look right
Be more specific.
Do your soles ache?
Cramping?
Toes don't look crowded so you're probably fine there.
Do you get blisters?
What's the problem?
How do you mean? Are they too short?
The inside of my arch gets really sore about half an hour after the run. I'm not sure if I just stepped incorrectly once and it just fucked me up or what.
The pain lasts for about an hour and slowly subsides.
No blisters.
Thanks for any help.

Try running less for a while, or at least divide your daily miles into a morning and an evening run. Once or twice a day for 5-10 minutes roll your feet around on a tennis ball to massage your fascii. They're probably weak from walking around in modern shoes. So just massage and ice them during this phase while they adapt to the work load. Some people take pills for the pain/inflammation but that's just a bandaid. In the long term, if the above routine doesn't help after a few months, you may have to resign yourself to just always run with arch support, whether it's a supportive shoe or a STIFF insert.
If the pain ever develops into something sharp or tingly, especially if its localized, STOP RUNNING for at least a week. Plantar fasciitis is not to be trifled with.
Vibram five finger kso...kso! and only kso, not the other gay ones for running...you’re welcome
