Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such symptom can be caused by veins insufficiency. When walking, the pressure in the veins increases so the blood can not get back to the heart. This can cause swelling, redness and pain.
If you have also calf pain while walking and one foot is colder than the other one (colder when touching them), arteries narrowing due to arterosclerosis can be the reason.
I suggest you to consult vascular surgeon. Dopplers ultrasound should be done.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
