Burning feet might be a temporary problem due to athlete's foot or sensitivities to fabrics. But if the symptom occurs over a longer period, it can indicate a serious disorder and should be evaluated by a doctor.
One such cause of chronic burning hands and feet is sensory peripheral neuropathy. This results from damage to the nerves which transmit sensation from the arms, hands, legs and feet to the brain. The causes include:
Diabetes
Alcohol
Nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia
