If you have a choice between running/walking on concrete or asphalt, choose the asphalt.
It will make a big difference.

If your home is built on a concrete slab, wear shoes while in the house.
Most carpet padding is woefully insufficient.

If it's plantar fasciitis, it'll take a year to heal. Not fun.

If you have the option, when walking/standing on concrete (or tile-covered concrete) for long periods, wear a pair of Wolverine Trappeur Hikers.
They've done much to save my feet/ankles/knees/hips/back.
(They come in 6" and 8" heights, I prefer the 8").
