I don't think you can ruin your circulation . . . What exactly are you running in?
Perhaps wearing running shoes as well as socks would help
Merry Christmas !!
i am new to this n this is pretty cool!!;o)
ok the thing is i wear mizuno n saucony running sneakers bought from specialist running shops (did tell them about my foot probs...they said i needed decent sneakers n socks, hence new pairs of sneakers n socks bought!!;o) but seriously, my feet do not blister just get really hot n burn like on fire....or like when you burn your skin and it hurts, kinda like that!? do you think i should see a foot specialist? any recommendations...podiatrist/chiropodists or reflexologists??:o
cheers!:o) ayesh x
Something to do with having a second toe longer than the big one. Can't remember the details behind it, or the remedy. I'm sure it's not the only cause either.
I've just sorted my central heating and it's got so hot in here my feet felt like they were on fire!
Morton's Toe
Definition
Morton's Toe is a common forefoot disorder where the second toe is longer than the Big Toe (the Hallux).
Cause
Morton’s toe leads to excessive pressure on the second metatarsal head (behind the second toe at the ball- of-the-foot) resulting in pain similar to the discomfort associated with metatarsalgia. The constant pressure placed on the longer second toe while walking or standing can lead to callus formation under the second metatarsal head due to this excessive pressure.
Treatment & Prevention
Proper treatment of Morton's Toe starts with selecting proper footwear. Footwear with a high and wide toe box (toe area) is ideal for treating this condition. It may be necessary to buy footwear a half size to a size larger to accommodate the longer second toe.
Orthotics that feature arch support to keep the foot aligned, and a metatarsal pad to reduce stress on the ball-of-the-foot are often recommended when treating this condition. Proper footwear combined with a effective orthotic will provide relief from pain associated with Morton’s Toe.
Morton's etc
Hope that helps!
I have orthotics for my feet but was advised not to run with them as it will affect my gait?
I ran the Nike Sale 5 today. I ran fast, It was hot and now I can't walk.
Training is ok. Racing on track (in spikes) is ok. What's haperning with my road races?
Just wondering if its to do with very high arched soles as I have started to have the same problem.
I have the correct trainers for over pronating feet and use 1000mile socks but after 3 or 4 miles the base of my feet start to burn/feel very sore and I end up with blisters which were very apparent after my recent 1/2 marathon - I was in agony and had the worst blisters I have ever had.
Strangely, my feet really seem to have a mind of their own as there have been occassions when I have managed to run 10miles and only just begin to feel them burning....
I would really love to find an answer!
PS I'm 36 and don't remember having these problems when I was younger.
Happens to me a lot early in the season or after I've taken a break. I've just come back from doing six miles and the soles of my feet are on fire every time I take a step. Key things to know are:
I've done much longer distances though without working up to them (12 miles) and not always had the problem. It's also happened to me just taking a really long walk to luch in dress shoes, which makes me wonder whether the type/quality of shoes or even diet may play into whether this happens or not.
Good luck to everyone who has this problem - I definitely feel your pain!
Burning Feet!!!
Im a runner of 15 years and have just experienced this for the first time on the Larne 1/2 marathon. Half way through it was like running on hot coals, right foot was worse.
Titanac 10K yesterday, again, this time with about 4k to do right foot started burning first. I notice the skin on the foot pad just behind the toes has become quite hard and thick.
Next its the Whitehead 5 mile on Easter Monday
