Burning Feet: Some causes of the feet having a burning sensation are neuropathy (inflammation or diseases of the sensory nerves), fungus on the bottom of the feet (Athletes' foot), or an allergic reaction (contact dermatitis). These example are not meant to be only causes.

Agree with Drs. H&M: One more possibility is deficiency of pantothenic acid. You may trying a multivitamin. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.

Neuropathy: In addition to Dr. H's suggestion check vit b12 levels. Alcohol excess can be a cause as can blood protein abnormalities. A neurologist can fully evaluate you if symptoms persist.
