Brief Answer:
Not an emergency.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Feet that feel like walking on sponge may be a symptom of neuropathy. Some factors like diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders may affect the nerve endings causing impaired circulation around the nerve endings and the result is that walking on sponge feeling. This is a chronical condition and is not an emergency so I don't believe that they can resolve this problem.
You should get examined and evaluated and monitored by a doctor.
I think you need to get contact with a family physician.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
