A common misconception is that having sore feet is normal; this is not the case. Just as you would visit your dentist for a toothache, you should visit a podiatrist if you suffer from sore or tired feet. Your podiatrist is qualified to identify and treat the cause of your foot pain, which could occur due to problems with biomechanics (structure of the foot), inappropriate footwear, growths (corns, calluses), disease (diabetes, Rheumatoid arthritis), infection (tinea) or injury.
