Burning Feet - help

[naeljun]

I was fitted for shoes at a running store in October.  The longest I ran with them up until last week was 6 miles and my feet were burning slightly.   I attempted to do 10 this past Sunday and when I hit 5 my feet were on fire.  I made it to 7 but here we are on Tuesday and my feet are still burning.    The good thing is I no longer get shin splints.   

I am going to go back to the running store to have them look at everything but in the meantime, I am wondering if it is related to my socks.   Both times I ran more than 3 miles I had UA running socks on.   

Could it be my socks?   I'm so confused with this whole long distance running thing.   I used to be a 3 miler.

I would blame socks before shoes. I don't know what your UA socks are, but cotton is the freaking devil!

I've had that issue before. Changed the socks and problem solved.

Thanks. I am going to try a different sock. I think the UA are moisture wicking but I'm not entirely sure.

One of my runner friends told me to try balega.

I've had good luck switching to a cycling sock instead of a running sock. Not sure if there's actually a difference, but the way the toes are designed seems more comfortable.

I also like wrightsocks - they have two layers and guarantee no chafing/blisters.

I really like feetures. They have a decent amount of arch support, which I never realized I loved until I tried. Now if I wear cheapo socks when I run, I feel like my feet are swimming around in a sweaty cotton garbage sack (gross).

I love new socks.
