Location?: There can be many causes for "pins & needles" that occur throughout the body. Specifically, in the feet it can be a sign of peripheral neuropathy that can be from vitamin b deficiency, long-term diabetes, alcohol abuse, or other causes. Need more information, like where the sensation is. Is it both sides? Is there muscle weakness or rash?

Oxidative stress: This is early sign of oxidative stress - try supplements with catalase and superoxide dismutase to clean these areas. Add n-acetyl cysteine to increase glutathione levels in body. Check on lab homocysteine levels.
