Balloons and cement.
I told you yesterday that when we came home, my feet were swollen and tore up from walking all day in my new sandals.
They still are.
I've had them elevated all day on my computer foot stool, I've soaked them in the tub full of freezing water for 20 minutes at a time, several times today, and they are still swollen.
I'd try some epsom salt, but I have open sores from the sandals tearing at my skin while I walked, and I'm afraid it will burn.
On both feet in the exact same spots, the inside of my feet towards the middle, two small gashes, and on a few of my toes, ripped open.
It is excruciatingly painful.
My pain meds are not touching this pain.
It feels like both of my feet are giant balloons filled with concrete.
They are heavy when I walk, and touching the floor, even walking on the soft and fluffy carpet, feels like I'm walking on broken glass.
And no, my feet are not dirty, that's a tan from the design on my every day wear sandals.

HOLY CRAP WOMAN! That's CRAZY! I had something similar but it only involved my ankles and calves. To me, it honestly looks like water build up. Do you have a doctors appointment soon? Or do you have any water pills on hand? I'd give them a try because your feet look the same way my calves and ankles did. If you push the skin in with your thumb does it stay indented a really long time? If so, it's water. I wouldn't let it go much longer without seeing a doctor though with everything else you have going on. That's just my two cents.

Yowzers! That does not look good. Hopefully the swelling will go down over night.

Holly gave you good advice. With all the walking that you do I am suprised that your feet would swell.. On the other hand new sandals are probably the reason.
