Dr. David Hettinger answered

Specializes in Podiatry

Could be a neuroma: If just 2 or 3 toes are "numb" this could be from a specific type of nerve irritation called a neuroma. If all the toes are numb, something else may be going on. See a podiatrist for a physical exam and diagnosis... Then specific treatment is much easier to recommend.

Ditch the heels : For a while and see the podiatrist maybe you have a neuroma.
