Why do the soles of my feet burn and ache after taking a walk?

[Anonymous]

I’m wearing great fitting supportive sneakers and socks. My feet don’t hurt when I run. I don’t have plantar fasciitis (had it before, this is different). Burning and pain take several hours to dissipate after the walk. Anyone else had this? What is it? I’d like to walk for exercise sometimes but this is bumming me out. Thanks.

It’s might be the friction. Are you wearing marathon or technical socks? If you are wearing cotton, go to a running store and buy running socks. It helped me tremendously

Running socks. No cotton.

I was going to suggest trying different socks, too. I had to switch mine up a while back. Or perhaps your insoles?

Is it evenly distributed or in part of one foot more than the other? Is it possible you have a neuroma? It feels different than PF but is deeper than a skin discomfort like blisters

Thanks. It’s evenly distributed.

Are you tying your shoes too tight and cutting off circulation?

Have you been walking a lot or just running? Since I hadn’t really walked anywhere (like to work) in a year since the start of the pandemic, my feet hurt when I started walking again! Working out I was fine but walking (more than around the house) was surprisingly painful when I started up again. It got better with time. Maybe that’s it?

You must have terrible shoes.

Pressure urticaria or a peripheral neuropathy are possible.

^^OP, do you have diabetes, or does it run in your family?

My shoes are Brooks, fitted within the last year at a running store. Not tied too tight. My sister has type 1 diabetes. But maybe it’s because I haven’t been walking very much... I work out but that’s different. It’s not just that my feet are sore though- it’s a burning on the soles of my feet that starts halfway through a 45 min walk or so and is very painful by the end, and then persists for several hours after. This doesn’t really jive with neuropathy as I’ve read about it anyway...

Does it happen when you wear different socks and shoes for a long walk?
