Not ridiculous at all! I just went to my podiatrist about this, I was having terrible, like couldn't walk the next day, foot and ankle pain after just 4 hour shifts at work. I took in my shoes for him to evaluate (can't afford new ones right now, and this pair was very expensive and only a year old), and he sold me high quality insoles for them. I also put on peppermint lotion when I get home and sit with my feet on an electric massager. The kind you can find at like Target or Bed Bath and Beyond, mine's a Conair and has a heat option that I'll use the day after. You want to do cold the first 24 hours, and heat after that. Also I was suffering from a minor injury from a couple months ago, so I got steroid/lidocane shots in my toes where I hurt them, those are always an option if the pain is in a specific area.
