Burning Foot Syndrome Just Got Bizarre

[Lionheart]

 Hello
I have posted here about strange events and things that are happening to me since my February 2011 "Awakening". The best thing to come of that is it brought me to the Astral Pulse for answers.

Probably the worst thing though is this constant burning foot syndrome I have. Yesterday it just got really bizarre.
I experience very hot feet, especially at night. Since last February 2011 I have also had my toenails suddenly starting to rot. This brought me to my family doctor, since that time I have had to have the same toe nail surgically removed twice and a number of tests, blood, etc to find the cause of my burning feet. Everything came back negative, no Diabetes, my circulation to my feet was a bit weak, but not unusual for my age, that being 48. The next step was to bring in a foot Specialist/Podiatrist. He had me undergo his tests as well, the test results were negative for any sensible reason he could find for the hot feet. Five weeks ago I had to go to him again to have that same troublesome toenail extracted, but this time killed as well. Just last week I went back for a followup appointment and he found that the area wasn't healing at all. Once again, he couldn't figure out why.

On Monday we set up our Christmas Kiosk in our local store. Tuesday was our first day open. I am trying to document this the best I can, so please bear with me.

For the last 3 years I have been wearing Crocs or Croc like shoes. The ones with the open heels. The Podiatrist told me I should get some Or-thotics and wear better shoes with proper support. About 5 years ago I had bought a pair of Ecco shoes, very nice, $200 support shoes. Here is a picture of them. The soul is made of a soft spongy rubber. They are very comfortable shoes.

So I left to the mall. I jumped in my truck and drove there. It takes me approximately 25 minutes to get there. Once at the mall I walked about 300 feet to get to the mall entrance, from there it was another 400 feet to our Kiosk. It was about 4 Pm when I arrived. Mary Jo and I split the shift, she takes the days, I take the nights. About 4:45 I noticed that it felt like my feet were sticking to the ground the kind of sensation you get when you walk in a puddle of sticky soda. My feet were also starting to get uncomfortably hot. I ignored this and kept working. The sticky sensation got worse now and I started noticing little bits of rubber trailing me on the ground. I thought that was strange. I turned my foot over and could see that I had a couple of "nubs" on the track that looked like they were wearing. An hour later and now my feet were extremely hot and the nubs on the shoes were "melting" off. Yes you heard me right melting. There was now a trail of melted rubber on the ground around my Kiosk. The mall maintenance guy came over because he could see bits of rubber all over the floor. I told him it was from me and that my rubber souls were melting off. He looked at me strange, like I would if he had said that. Now they have a strict rule in the mall that you can not take your shoes off. So, I just grinned and bared it. I called MJ about 8:30 and told her what had happened, she just laughed. I got home about 9:30, took my shoes off and was amazed at the sight. Both shoes were missing the nubs on the track, it did have the appearance of being melted off.
MJ got to the Kiosk in the morning on Wednesday and the entire mall maintenance crew were on their hands and knees with paint scrapers trying to get the melted rubber off the tiles. She then realized that I wasn't kidding when I told her Tuesday night that my shoes were melting.

I borrowed a camera so I could take some pictures of the shoes to show you. But unfortunately I don't know how to put them on here. I have them on my computer now anyways.

Today is MJ's birthday, so last night I went to bed at 12:30, normally I got to bed at about 4-5 am. I wanted to go in early to relieve her and allow her to enjoy her birthday at home. 2 hours after I went to sleep I awoke, feet burning like crazy. What woke me though was a Lucid Dream I was having about 3 bullies from my youth that were attacking MJ. My first reaction in the dream was to inflict much pain on them and I did. Then I found out that wasn't the answer and had to go through replays of the event for a number of times, until I got it right. So, I awoke, got up, ate a banana for calcium/potassium and went back to bed. Time was now 2:30 am. Well, back to the bully dream again, doh. I had to relive it over and over again. I guess I didn't solve the puzzle the first time. Now I awaken again, get up, go to the bathroom, fill the tub full of cold water and soak my feet and think about my current dream dilemma. The time now is 4:00 am. Then the thought comes, "hey wait a minute, these guy sare no longer in my life, so why is this effecting me now?" I then remember a technique I used to use that Delores Cannon teaches, whereas you visualize the person and a paper contract with that person. You then rip the contract up while saying, "I forgive you, I release you, I let you go. You are no longer part of my reality". So, I did this to all three guys and felt a sigh of relief. I then went back to bed, closed my eyes to go to sleep and the next thing I find myself "noticing". I sit there thinking, not now, I want to sleep. But nope, just noticing the darkness in front of my eyes, Then I hear "Ok, what do you want to know now". My first reaction is, did I think that or did I hear that? It's not good to analyze at this point, so I say "Ok, I'll play along". I then say "the Truth". The voice then says "You can't handle the truth, yet". I answer back, "Another time I guess". Then I continue noticing in this 3 dark zone for the next 3 hours. MJ wakes up at 7am, I say Happy Birthday to her and get up and start taking pictures of my shoes and writing this post now. Total time slept, 2 1/2 hours and yes, feet still burning.

In the last year or so I have exhausted all my efforts to get any kind of answer for this burning foot syndrome. As for the melting shoes. We have had a Kiosk in the mall at Christmas time for 12 years now. We sell our Dragons, Hand Carved Wooden Musical Animal Instruments, Himalayan Salt Lamps and our newest product is from a company named Pyramid of Life. The make replica Pyramids of the Russian Golden Tower Pyramids. They don't normally wholesale to anyone. There was only 2 places in the world you could get them. One was in the actual Pyramids in Russia, the other is from one of the co-inventors from Canada. I wrote them a letter a couple of months back, explaining that my dreams are full of Pyramids and that I am quite partial to them. I told them I have some customers in my mall that like unique things as well. They sold me 5 Mini Pyramid replicas and 5 Crystal Pyramids. The minis sell for $395, the Crystal for $195. We only have 1 Mini and 2 Crystals currently in our Kiosk, but these things are incredibly powerful. Pyramids are also known to be amplifiers as well.

Like I said, I have exhausted my resources looking for answers. I would love to hear your thoughts on my burning feet. I have tried grounding, have changed to thinner socks, no socks. Nothing seems to work. The doctor and specialists don't have a clue either. I will get those pictures of my melted treads up here too so you can see them. Seeing is really believing.

A lumbar disc herniation can sometimes cause a burning foot pain. With disc conditions, usually only one foot is involved.

After careful thought, and one for the older ones on here. You really should stop that running the way grandma did on the Beverly hillbillies.

 Thank you for all the help you guys gave me learning how to load these pictures. You know who you are and I am very Thankful for that.
This first picture shows you that the shoes are in great condition, at least the tops, lol.

These other three show you different angles and closeups of the melting areas. The dust dirt and hair form the mall floor are actually now imbedded in the areas that melted. The Mall Manager came to us today to inquire what the problem was. She thought we had been dragging something around and marked up the floor. As everyone else around was, she was shocked to hear that my soles had melted due to the extreme heat of my feet. If the X-files were still around, I'm sure they would be on their way to see me, lol.

I did not walk in any kind of chemical or spill of any kind. I tried to be as accurate as I could on my destinations and measurements. We keep our home around 65 degrees, outdoors it was about 55 degrees and mall is kept at a steady 72 degrees. These shoes were in great condition top and bottom before this occurred.

That is heavy stuff for sure, something that I think you will end up finding out the reason for. This obviously needs a holistic approach to if your feet are burning your shoes but yet there are not serious burns on the bottom of your feet? This reminds me of an experience around 6 years ago when I kept having these dreams of people stabbing me and I would wake up with fairly new but starting to fade scars on my arms or legs. The place where someone would stab me in the dream would be sore for days and yet this was unexplainable. I had an energy healer/mentor I went to talk to about the subject and she sensed a negative entity clinging onto my shoulder and causing me irritation as well as pain. Now trust me, I am skeptical of any and all beliefs, definitely including spirits latching onto me and causing me misfortune. I do believe that the excrement that was going on in my life at the time was linked to this disturbance, how I am not quite sure but it is amazing the things we can attract unconsciously. Have you tried to concentrate on this reason for these burning feet as you are about to AP or maybe drift off at night? The answer is quite possibly...right in front of you.

Yes, just like I said in the above post. I asked to see the Truth behind it and was told I can't handle the Truth, yet.
There are no visible burn marks on my feet at all, but everyday when I take my socks off my feet are wrinkled like they would be by soaking in water for a long time. They are also beet red. I just wish a sensible explanation for these things could be found. It seems like Diabetes would be the likely culprit, but all my tests were negative for that. My back is a mess due to Degenerative Disc Disease and has been for many years. I asked the doctor if that would cause it, his reply was that it wouldn't be just the feet. That it would be more along the lines of Sciatica. I have had Sciatica before and with me it affected the inner knee and ankle area. As I am typing now I have no socks on and my feet are still hot, not quite at the burning stage, but hot. I bought some expensive Peppermint Foot lotion today, so I will see if that cools the flame.

That's crazy Lionheart, never heard of anything like that before. Your shoes look like the way mine melted when I was working on my roof in 98 degree weather. I hope you find the cause of it - that would be annoying, and then ruining an expensive pair of shoes on top of it.

[Bedeekin]

Here's the deal. some of you know I work with plastics and rubber - I also know what 'kills' or thins down or melts all rubber types... silicon, polyurethane, latex, polyethylene, natural rubber.. etc. It's probably all 'Greek' to most. lol

So.. these soles look like they are good quality shoes with natural rubber/petroleum mix outsole.

like Stookie mentioned high temperature causes this rubber type to soften become 'gum' like... which is what yours are like with debris embedded into them.

But...

There also seems to be an actual breakdown of the rubber causing it to crack and weaken. Heat alone wouldn't do this... because natural rubber is cast by heating it up and press forming it into a mould. So it's designed to be heated and shaped.

The only thing that could cause this is if a solvent was introduced. The perfect solvents for natural rubber are... Cellulose thinners (paint thinners) and gasoline.

Gasoline would naturally soak into the rubber at first causing it to soften and literally melt the outer surface... as the solvents dry out they carry with it the natural oils present in the rubber... this causes the rubber to become semi-brittle.

Is it conceivable that you stepped into a small gasoline spill at the filling station before you entered the Mall?

Thank you for your excellent reply and agree that that would be a likely cause. At least the only one that would ,make sense to me. But, yes, here comes the but, I haven't worn these shoes for 3 years. I jumped into my truck which is approx 15 feet from my garage, no spills, no moisture. I drove straight to the Mall. Got out of my truck and walked into the entrance. Now my awareness of things inn front of me is excellent. I have size 13 feet and used to stub my toes all the time. I also have experienced, as everyone does the sensation of being stuck to a floor due to gum. So, for these reasons alone I stay extra vigilant as I walk.
Chemical reaction seems like one of the only things that would make sense. I am sending the shoes back to the company, so sooner or later I will find out what the deal is. Both shoes were almost evenly melted. To be like this I would have had to walk into a considerable amount of gasoline or chemical, since I am 6'2 and have a very long stride.
But it was great to hear an opinion of an expert on this.
Thank You! 
On a side note, we opened the Kiosk, one of our first and only sales was a Mini Pyramid. It was to a wonderful lady who was a Reiki Healer. She knew of the Russian Pyramids and their power to amplify. She immediately purchased one to aide her in her practice. I think they are going to be a hit. We might have to order some more. 

[Bedeekin]

Actually... Immediately having walked through the Gasoline it would have felt like you were walking on slippery ice.

Also... I don't know why I didn't mention this... but you would have smelt it and the odour would still be present now... no matter what solvent it might have been. Give them a sniff. lol

Good news on your pyramid sale. 

[Nameless]

I'm totally curious if you ever solved this.

[Visitor]

Just for those wondering....probably what was going on was an allergy to chemicals in those plastic shoes...they aren't rubber....you wear those on wet surfaces and you can kill yourself. 

And as plastic does...it decomposes after a couple of years ...less if the plastic chemicals are cheaper.  Reverts to a horrible glue like mess.

Or a cyst between the bones of the foot from wearing tight fitting shoes. 

I had both of these.  I have to replace the soles of every running shoe and can't wear them on hot days for very long.  The burning is intense.   And if they aren't wide enough...it's almost impossible to walk because of the heat and pain.  Double trouble.

No mystery.  Just an allergy.

[DeniseGreen]

I agree with Todd.
