Nerve pain: Very often the nerve on the top of the foot is injured. Shoes can compress the nerve and cause. Remove all pressure and give it a few days. If it persists see your podiatrist.

Herniated disc: Although there are many causes of numbness in the foot. One of the main causes is a herniated disc in the back. An examination by a doctor is needed to determine the exact cause and render treatment.

Few possibilities: If shoes are too small can create a problem, a tarsal tunnel, a radiculopathy from the back or a systemic disease like diabetes all could cause this problem. Pays to have it checked out.
