Wow I thought it was me alone, but I googled it and I see I'm not alone. I changed the souls and I use them and my feet are just fine.

I too have been having burning on the soles of my feet for over a year or so. My dermatologist thought it was neuropathy but told me to get a salacitic acid cream like Urea but the burning persists. I have several different pairs of sketchers that I wear. I also have dearfoam and isotoner slippers that after wearing those or the sketchers for a little while my feet will begin to burn. Last week it was warm and so I wore flip flops all week and didn't have a problem at all. It must be the memory foam!!!

Hi, guest.
It's interesting to hear that you have been experiencing burning on the soles of your feet and have noticed a correlation with certain types of footwear.
Burning sensation in the feet can have various causes, and one possibility is neuropathy, as your dermatologist suggested. Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the nerves, and it can result in symptoms such as burning, tingling, or numbness in the affected area.
However, it's worth considering other factors that could be contributing to your symptoms, such as the materials or construction of the shoes you're wearing. Memory foam, for example, can sometimes retain heat and may not provide sufficient breathability or support for some individuals. Certain synthetic materials or tight-fitting shoes can also contribute to discomfort or irritation.
If you suspect that the type of footwear you're using is causing or exacerbating your symptoms, you may want to consider trying different types of shoes or inserts that provide better support and ventilation. Opting for shoes with good arch support, cushioning, and breathable materials might be worth exploring.
It's also important to maintain good foot hygiene and keep your feet clean and dry, as excessive moisture can contribute to discomfort or irritation. If you find relief when wearing flip flops, it could be due to the open design and increased airflow.

Be aware that Birkenstocks have latex in the bed of the shoe. I learned this after finding out that they do have latex when the doctors could not determine why my feet kept breaking out for over three years. The day I found out I threw away the Birkenstocks and my feet are much better, but now I have a form of eczema on my feet, which I did not have before I wore shoes that had latex in the bed of them I agree with you be very careful about what you buy and when you contact the manufactures, they don’t really wanna let you know what’s in this you a few have been very forthcoming. Thank you for sharing your journey. It’s nice to know that I wasn’t alone.
