There is a priority regarding nerve fibers. The proprioceptive fibers in the tendons and muscles are myelinated and very fast,
and have 1st priority in getting to the brain. (the brain needs to know where the feet are at all times, etc).
Then come the other fibers. These are slower ...so when your feet are still they start to send their messages.
Here is a link explaining the 4 types:

At one time I found some other explanations about efferent fibers. The cold sensing ones mask the heat ones, and that is why many remedies have menthol/camphor in them, to stimulate these to block the burning sensations. Biofreeze is one of those topical things that work well, for excessive burning.
