My B12 was 792 pg/ml. Folate was >19.9ng/ml. I began a supplement with a lot of B vitamins, for hair loss on my scalp (hormonal) about 5 weeks before the foot burning became a daily occurrence. The podiatrist thinks the high folate may be aggravating my symptoms. However, the burning, in a more sporadic form, pre-dates the supplement usage by over a year. I initially suffered with severe nightly burning of my soles 8 years ago concurrently with a diagnosis of plantar fasciitis, which gradually responded to use of an orthotic for a few years.

still follow the outdated lab ranges, which go down to really low values, and they still call these "normal". Many doctors still call levels of 200pg/ml "normal".
You should be at least at 400pg/ml if you are in the US.
Other countries use different concentrations like pmol/L.
Testing is only one half of the investigative tools. Getting the results interpreted correctly is the OTHER HALF.
