Burning feet w/ exercise

I have a problem with an intense burning sensation, almost to the point of pain, in my bottoms of my feet while exercising only.
This occurs when using a stairmaster, eliptical trainer or recumbant exercise bike.
It does not occur with regulr walking, running, treadmill, or riding a regular bike.
It seems like a form of neuropathy, but I’m confused as to why I have it (I have no predisposing conditions) and why it occurs on the machines and not during workouts off the machines.
Anyone ever heard of this type of burning sensation?

    You may be experiencing plantar fasciitis. The weight gain may be a factor, but then again, it isn’t the only thing causing your pain. If you can get a good walking shoe and wear it all the time see if this helps. If you do not see an improvement, then I recommend you see a podiatrist for evaluation and treatment.
