The soreness is more of a fatigue thing as just a moment or so off the Segway makes all the difference. I think leaning forward a little bit, to go forward, is putting pressure on your foot to keep the platform tilted. Not sure. I just know a break is needed occasionally.
Are the full size Segways, with their larger platforms, causing sore feet on long rides? Maybe some leaning pressure is put onto the handle bars thereby relieving stress on the feet?

First you can get comfort mats for full size Segways......Make sure your knees are bent(shock absorbs) like your ice-skating helps a lot on foot pressure....And tires that have some give, (not rock hard) help some.
I have ridden for hours with no problems.
