It is normal: Numbness may be associated with the inflammation and pressure on the nerve running under the foot. There are other possible reasons, such as back conditions such as spinal stenosis or a disc problem. Neuropathy is a condiion that can cause numbness or a feeling of numbness. There are various causes of neuropathy. You should be evaluated by a professional.

See a Podiatrist: I suggest you see a podiatrist for an evaluation. You may or may not have numbness due to plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis associated with overpronation may cause swelling or pressure on the plantar nerves thus causing numbness. You may have other medical problems which may also be causing numbness, such as, diabetes. Get it checked!

See a doctor: The numbness you describe is not a normal finding in plantar fasciitis. You should see a podiatrist.
