Nerve Pressure: Pressure to the forefoot can affect both the nerves and blood supply to your toes. Pressure from tight fitting shoes, heels, and swelling of the feet can cause these symptoms. Lower the heels, look for wider shoes, and take off the shoes occassionally, and massage them to relieve the pressure, and to increase circulation.

Numb Toe: Numb toes are often due to what is called a morton neuroma unless you are diabetic that is the likey choice. Any podiatrist can help.
