They might: Narrow fitting shoes or high heels can put a lot of force in the ball of the foot. This causes pinching of the interdigital nerves, and if irritated enough might lead to a neuroma. This can cause numbness, or can cause intense pain. Shoes with lower heels and have room for the toes are idea. If this persists see a podiatrist.
