Most of the previous posts are useful. Good quality, well fitting shoes are very important. But you also need to address the primary problem(s) which are your arch and/or anke. 1. Stretch your calf by putting the ball of your foot on the wall with heel on the ground and lean forward until you feel a stretch in the calf. 2. Stretch your soleus (underneath the calf) by repeating the stretch with your knee slightly bent. 3. Stretch your shins by sitting down, pressing your toes gently towards the floor, and raising your heel as far as possible. 4. Stretch your arches by rolling your food over a tennis ball with moderate pressure.
You may use any variations of these stretches that you want. And never work through the numbness or tingling if it lasts more the a minute. Get off, stretch, and try it a again. If you work through the pain, you can make it worse in the long run. I hope this helps.
