Could be.: It may be serious, but one of the more common problems that can cause tingling and pain near the toes is called a morton's neuroma - this problem is the result of damage to the nerve and the scar tissue that builds up around it. This can cause the nerve to get "pinched" between the metatarsal foot bones. This most commonly happens between the area of the base of the third and fourth toes.

Could be neuroma: Tingling in the foot can be due to a number of conditions, both systemic and local. The most common reason for tingling in the toes when walking is a neuroma, which is an enlargement of the digital nerve. This causes pain, burning, numness and sometimes cramping., first approach is to try wearing wider shoes or metatarsal pads. If this does not work, see a podiatric physician.
