It could be Plantar fascitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description, it could be Plantar fascitis.
The type of Sandal/Shoes you wear will affect the pain.The Sole should be soft and the Heel should be at higher level than toes.
I noticed lot of change after changing the Sandal/shoes.No medication was required after few days.
Initially, I prescribed Anti inflammatory tablet twice daily to my patients with similar complaints.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
