Wile listen to Fawteen's comments and disregard the comments on needing to spend $200.00 at a good pair of boots. You could spend $500.00 on a pair of boots and be in no better situation.
You need corrective orthopedic inserts that correct the pressure points on your feet. I am very flat footed and a machinist. I almost quit my profession due to intolerable foot pain. Go to a shoe store that has a good line of corrective orthodics. (not Dr. Sholls) I don;t have access to a box with my orthodics here but I think the company name is Aetrex. I found a local store the put me on a machine that measured my pressure points and fit me for an elevated heal full foot insert. Once you get the correct insert you will need to find a shoe that accepts your inserts well. Not all shoes will have the room for an insert. I prefer to find a boot that I can leave the original padding in place and put the insert over top. This somewhat give the effect of standing on the rubber mat as it offers a little more cushioning effect. I wear these inserts in all of my shoes. Low cut shoes you need to make sure that the back is high enough that you don't feel like your heel is half way out of the shoe because it it is you will rub you heel raw. Remember to correct the flat footed condition your insert will need to raise your heel.
This works for me and works well. The next logical step would be to see and orthopedic doctor that can fit you with medical orthodics. I have never needed to go this route as the Aetrex orthodics work well enough. Another thing that I do is to rotate the shoes that I wear. I hope that this is of help. Don't let this go.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
