I feel your pain. I started running properly in June. From time to time my feet have become so sore I haven't been able to walk comfortably for days. My best advice to prevent further pain in the future is to break from running if you start to feel pain. Some people will give the advice of "run through the pain", this isn't wise. I normally take a quick rest every couple of KM's to take the pressure of my feet.

Also if your running shoes are new then give it a week. My current shoes were hell for the first week or two, I actually considered dumping them but you'll get used to them eventually, so will your feet.
