He may : Have neuropathy. Is hypertension the only issue? What about any history of back pain?

Quench the burn.: The burning symptoms, especially on both feet, could be the beginning signs of a bigger problem. No need to wait and see. Have him examined by a family doctor or Internist. I find it is best to address these symptoms early and prevent potential issues later.
