There is a condition called plantar faciitis (morning first step pain) that is very common in our society. It is ligament issue which becomes damaged (inflammation) either by trauma or over use. Over use is excessive standing, walking and standing on hard surfaces . Trauma could be some sudden impact to the bottom of the foot. (your wife is correct. adding on weight can be a contributor) If it goes untreated it only gets worse. In some cases it could lead to the need for surgery. The plantar ligament becomes inflammed and tightens when you are not in a weight bearing (standing or walking) position. Once you add weight, pain. There are good inexpensive solutions. There is a great web site, http://www.360footcare.com, that is interactive. They have a Pedorthist (a foot specialist including diabetic foot care ) who interacts with customers. They have youtube videos and eventually they will offer weekly live broadcasting for customers. The Pedorhist will discuss a particular foot problem and then Customers will ask questions that the Pedorthist will answer on live broadcast and Twitter. You might want to check them out. I know that they are still getting their interactive tools up and running but until then you might send an email with your question. Good luck
