Warm or hot feet can be uncomfortable and may signal an underlying issue. Common causes include long hours of standing or walking, wearing shoes that do not allow airflow, or having a medical condition that affects circulation. Athlete’s foot, which is a fungal infection, can also cause heat, itching, and burning sensations. Nutrient deficiencies, particularly in B vitamins, may contribute to nerve irritation, while peripheral neuropathy related to diabetes or other conditions can cause persistent warmth or burning pain. A podiatrist can perform a thorough evaluation to identify the cause, treat infections, manage nerve conditions, and recommend proper footwear. If your feet have become unusually warm or hot, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist who can offer effective relief and treatment solutions.
