Why Do My feet Burn?

A burning sensation in your feet may be the cause of nerve damage in your feet and legs or a condition called Neuropathy which affects your peripheral nerves.

Though there are many other medical conditions that can lead to painful burning sensations in your feet, Diabetes and Neuropathy are your main culprits, hence Diabetes, as this condition usually leads to Neuropathy.

So let us look at a few of the Causes of a Burning sensation in your feet;

• Medical Conditions – As I have already mentioned medical conditions such as Diabetes and Neuropathy which cause nerve damage may be your most likely cause of a burning, tingling or numb sensation in your feet. Athletes foot can likewise cause a burning sensation and is a less severe condition of the feet.

• Hot Socks – Your socks may however be the culprit. Cotton is your socks is a natural fiber but it can hold sweat and cause your feet to become hot and burning. You may also be allergic or sensitive to other materials and dyes used in your socks.

• Hot Shoes and Insoles – If your feet become hot and burning during a walking, exercise or running session it may be because of your shoes and how you wear them. Shoes that are too tight or laced up too tightly can constrict blood flow in your feet as well as prevent any air flow for ventilation. Likewise, shoes that are too loose can cause friction and chafing which may irritate the feet and cause them to burn. Fatigue from being active on your feet all day can cause burning if you do not have proper cushioning and support in your shoes. Insoles can also be a culprit if they do not provide any cushioning and are not breathable.

• Allergies – there is a strong likelihood that you may be allergic to the materials, glues, dyes or other substances used in the manufacturing of your shoes, orthotic devices or even socks, so try to change up your shoes and socks to see if that may be the issue.
