I tried it at the beginning of this season. Wearing 4 to 5 pairs of socks only with the same size shoe. It is like a freakin miricle! Its like I'm running on pillows. My foot pain is gone while running and feet are almost healed up completely, while working 3 to 5 nights per week.
Just a suggestion for those of you who have similar foot pain!

What feels like heel bruises isn't always such. It may be plantar fasciitis which may need other treatments. Bigger shoes can help, but other things might be needed. Pain as severe as you describe might need a podiatrist.
