Burning in the feet may be caused by poor circulation to the feet. This is common in people who have diabetes or peripheral arterial disease. Poor circulation may lead to nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy).

Burning, pins-and-needles–type pain is common in people who use alcohol regularly because alcohol directly damages the nerves.
