One of my favorite topics when I teach wellness workshops is feet. I encourage my clients and students to give their feet some attention — to help with calming and grounding at the end of the day, to help support a good night’s sleep, and to help address issues of discomfort in the legs and lower back.
I came across a short NPR piece called How to Keep Your Feet Happy, which talks about a common foot ailment, plantar fasciitis. It provides advice on the best kind of shoes to wear — they should have a minimum of support — and an audio slideshow with exercises to strengthen and stretch feet presented by podiatrist-turned-Pilates instructor Colleen Schwartz.
And here are two of my previous posts with stretches for feet:

I have noticed my feet hurt less when I wear sandals rather than shoes, perhaps due to the less support like you mentioned.

I have had foot problems for as long as I can remember and two things have helped me. One I use a tennis ball to stretch out my feet, just roll the ball under your foot, Secondly I began practicing Bikram yoga, and that has aided in my overall health.
