I only get a burning sensation in my feet when I walk on coals.
Seriously though I doubt it is athletes foot from the description you give. My advise is to go and see a doctor if it worries you.

People with diabetes commonly develop temporary or permanent damage to nerve tissue. Nerve injuries are caused by decreased blood flow and high blood-sugar levels, and are more likely to develop if blood-sugar levels are not controlled well. Some people with diabetes will not develop nerve damage, while others may develop this condition relatively early. On average, the beginning of symptoms occurs 10 to 20 years after diabetes has been diagnosed. Approximately 50% of people with diabetes will eventually develop nerve damage. Peripheral nerve injuries may affect cranial nerves or nerves from the spinal column and their branches. This type of neuropathy (nerve injury) tends to develop in stages. Early on, intermittent pain and tingling is noted in the extremities, particularly the feet. In later stages, the pain is more intense and constant. Finally, a painless neuropathy develops when pain sensation is lost to an area. This greatly increases the risk of severe tissue injury because pain no longer alerts the person to injury. Autonomic neuropathies affect the nerves that regulate vital functions, including the heart muscle and smooth muscles. Low blood pressure, diarrhea, constipation, sexual impotence, and other symptoms can be caused by autonomic neuropathies. Strict glycemic control may lessen neuropathy.

All are good answers. To expand a bit, even if it is not athlete's foot, it could be due to the yeast (Candida fungus) that causes athlete's foot. It can cause other skin problems, but it can also cause itchiness - in the eyes and other areas.
Also, the blood sugar test is good, but have the doctor go one step further and give you a fasting blood insulin test. That will show if you are likely to develop pre-diabetic conditions, which can produce sudden pains and other funny symptoms.
If you want some basic information on blood sugar imbalances, check out www.hufa.org.

Lets hope it's from the hot weather. But if not, get checked out for shingles. My husbands grandmother has a bad case of them. She's always complaining about her feet burning. Check out the link below.
Oh and sometimes theres no visual symptoms. Don't go by the pictures, because sometimes you just cant see them.

athletes foot. Use an anti-fungal cream and change your socks once in awhile.
Athlete's foot is just a fungus that drows under your skin from sweat and dirt. Has nothing to do with being a real athelete.

Now I don't feel so alone.
The bottoms of mine feel like they are set in parafin.They tingle. Not numb. I've been tested for diabetes and cleared. Baffled.

Get a sugar test from your physician- it might be the start of diabetes.
