I agree that taking ibuprofen or naproxen (naproxen lasts longer) could definitely help, as could gel insoles (the ones marked "athletic" are good!) You might want to try shifting your weight, picking up your feet, and wiggling your toes frequently to help keep the circulation healthy. Make sure your socks are 100% cotton, and that your orthotics are up to date (sometimes they need to be redone as your feet adapt to varying circumstances). If your ankles are hurting, you might do better with boots that give your ankles some structural support. Stick with flat or low heels, cushy crepe or soft rubber soles, and get mentholated powder to put in your socks.

And if there's someone you can shanghai into the job, get a bottle of nice peppermint foot lotion and have them massage your feet at every opportunity! You can do it yourself if your knees and hips don't grump about it too much.
