There : There are multiple causes of foot cramps. The most common are: vitamin deficiencies low potassium dehydration circulation problems poor diet it is a wise idea for you to visit your primary care provider for evaluation and treatment of this problem. In the meantime start taking a multi-vitamin, and enjoy more bananas or coconut water for extra potassium. Good luck.
