    Default whyyyy are my feet numb...???

    ya they don't even hurt.. but it started in my right foot after the first two nights i worked in a row i couldnt feel the two middle toes on my right foot.. completely numb and i didn;t notice until i was in the shower.. and i worked almost everyday since then and im fine at work in heels dancing and walking stairs and everything but in normal shoes my feet are numb from the ball to the tip of the toes.. does this sound familiar to anyone.. and harmless basically.. aka it goes away soon..??

    it's really annoying to not be able to feel any of my toes or that whole part of my feet.. it totally almost feels liek a dentist gave me a numb shot in my feet on accident.. i guess on the upside my feet don't hurt everynight at work haha but uhm downside.. is i can't feel anything they're tingley numb..

    they're adjusting to your heels. and to the increased bloodflow.

    Sometimes when I get new shoes this happens. I'ts always the 2 toes beside my big toe. Kinda freaked me out the first time it happened, but it only lasted for 3-4 nights. Take a night off and have someone massage your feet every day. This will help a lot. Also, staying out of heels during the day (which was impossible for me since I worked in a business environment and had no dress flats).

    Put a ball-of-foot gel pad in your heels. Superglue it in place. That helps me immensely.

    Happens to me everytime i get new dance shoes, middle toes go numb. It lasts awhile for me too. Maybe that's what it is?

    Certain shoes do that to me; odd angle, harder sole, tight across the top. It goes away.
    That happened to me when I took a seasonal job at JC Penny's years ago! I was just wearing soft soled, square toed, rubber heels oxfords but the diference in how I was using my feet made my toes go numb but the tips of my toes hurt like crazy (Foget the blanket, just couldn't handle it) ! The sheet on my bed was too much, it caused screaming pains in my toes!!
    You're is a normal condition. Annoying, but normal.

    It might be nerve damage. I lost the feeling in my right big toe until 2 months after I quit dancing.

    Ive been doing ballet for many many years. I had one pair of soft pointe shoes that did the same damn thing.

    a pinched nerve

    its the shoes. The angle of your toes, too tight, cheaply made... who knows.
    Do physio, see a chiropractor or something. They will probably give you insoles
