pain on the top of my left foot

i walk around for four hours and some days my foot. hurt i was wondering if it was t he shoes. I wear those duck like plastic shoes. you slide your foot in with the holes on the tops :)

Hi,

In general, if the shoes your are wearing do not do a very good job of supporting your arch, there is the possibility of developing pain on the top of your foot. This is usually due to a condition known as midtarsal fault.
A simple test would be the obvious: try wearing a more supportive shoe like a sneaker and do the same amount of walking that you usually do and see if you are experiencing the same pain. If so then stop wearing the plastic shoes. If not then you may want to consider a visit to a foot specialist in an effort to determine what is actually causing your pain.
