I always barefoot around my house. I love the texture of the pavements, sand and grass. I always walk down the street to check on my kids at their friend's houses barefoot. Today I went a little further than I normally would. It was 90 degrees. It did not feel hot on the pavement and there was no discomfort....until I got halfway home. OUCH and OOPS! Walking on the vinyl flooring does not hurt but the carpet does. I think I burned my feet. Has anyone else done this? How long does it last? Next time I need to walk down the street fast in the summer I guess I will have to wear my sandals. Bummer....
No Different To A Mild Dose Of Sunburn, Wait Till Everything Cools Down, Then Get Out And Do The Same Again... Thats How You Get-Em Tough... Cheers Glen.
Ask your lovemate to kiss your soles to make it better... (just kidding...) I had that happening to me years ago, too, and I just did as GLENGLEN suggested: I kept going barefoot - on the day after overheating my soles, it felt a little painful, one day later there was only some tingling left, and on the third day my soles felt all normal again. What might be of a little help on hot days is to try and walk in the shade, if possible or carrying a small bottle of water - not for drinking purposes, but for pouring it onto your soles if the ground is hot and you feel tingling or slight pain. The water will cool them down a little and you'll leave a little track of cool bare footprints, too. Wiggling bare toes encouragingly, ~*Ganesha*~
wearing shoes now is pointless and will just increase discomfort, unless you are going to walk again on scorching surfaces or razor blades, of course... you omitted to tell us how your soles look and feel. try soaking your feet in camomile or lavender tea. i used to do the very same thing suggested by bro Ganesha, a nice bottle of water will provide you with an instant cool spot if your soles feel too much heat. or you may bring flip flops in your pocket , in case you find yourself in front of another coal walk... there is no shame in doing things gradually. better carrying flopflops around than damaging tissues. with time my tolerance grew to the point that I can walk on sun-molten tar (some spots on the road sometimes actually melt under intense sun heat, so you can leave nice toe prints on asphalt . I am sure not invulnerable though, when it is really hot, and i mean a lot, beach sand will cook my feet in the time of a couple of minutes if i don't keep them wet. sand is from hell !
My footsies are feeling much better today. When I went to bed it almost did feel like I had sunburn on my feet, they were even a little pink (where they are not stained from dirt ). Today they are fine. I probably should learn not to be so afraid of fire ants, then I could walk in the grass on the side of the road!
