Soles of Feet Burning after Hunting

[scottbot]

The bottom of my feet will burn the day after doing a long hunt, last year it was the first day CO 10 miles, the bottoms of my feet were hot for the rest of the hunt/week and just yesterday in WY after hunting about 8 miles, the bottom of my feet are burning again. I do not/did not have any blisters but after the hunt in Colorado last year the bottom of my feet calloused. Even today at work sitting at my desk with almost no pressure on my feet I felt the burning sensation.

Does anyone have a solution for this? I am hiking in broke-in (200 miles) Kenetrek Slide Rock boots with polypropylene liners and lightweight and midweight cushion darn tough socks. My feet don't get the burning sensation doing lower mileage hikes/hunts.

Almost sounds like mild plantar fasciitis. I get a similar sensation after long runs. Stretching my calf muscle and rolling my foot on a baseball or something similar size helps. Not sure if that’s what you’re experiencing, but maybe? I tend to notice more after I’ve been inactive for a long stretch after a long run, like when I wake up in the morning.

I could be wildly wrong as well since I’m not a doctor but thought I’d share my experience with a similar sensation.

For me it was a hot spot caused by my foot sliding in my boot, a friction burn. No blisters, just a hot sweaty foot sliding a tiny amount repetitively turned into a couple inch patch in my arch area that burned and felt hot. The next time this happened I put leukotape on it before it got bad and was fine. I can only find the Leukotape on amazon. It sticks for a few days. I tried the multiple sock thing, none of that worked for me. Good luck!

I used to get hot spots from superfeet insoles, switched to lathrop and it went away.
