Common condition: While the cramping and numbness may just be from the high heels forcing your toes together, you most likely are experiencing the symptoms of a neuroma, also known as a morton's neuroma. Most likely its the 3rd and 4th toes which are affected and you would get relief by removing the shoe. You can try just wearing wider shoes and lower heels. But if it continues it should be treated.

Physical exam by a : Foot doctor is a good idea as you have 2 complaints that can be caused by different etiologies. Example: the numbness may be secondary to a neuroma and the cramping caused by plantar fascitis. Similiarly, you could have tarsal tunnel causing numbness and cramping secondary to a vitamin deficiency or side effect of medication. A podiatrist can help narrow down the diagnosis.
