I'm Getting Beat Up By My Sparring Gear

Hello All!  I sparred with my sparring gear for the first time last night.  It really hurt my feet, it felt like the bottom of my feet were being cut up, they weren't but it sure felt like it, and my toes kept getting caught and I thought I was going to break a toe.  Is this normal at first because I'm not used to it, or should I get new sparring gear?
