you're compressing a nerve. go see your friendly neighborhood podiatrist. lets hope it isn't due to something as far up in your spinal cord as somebody else said, but it is possible.

I had a tingling, numbish spot on the tips of my big toes when I was in boot camp. It only happened after I started wearing those boots. It finally went away after I quit wearing them. They said it is common. Nothing serious.
My dad has a bulging disc in his lower back and has a tingling/ numb toe too.......
A chiropractor could probably fix the problem. Your back could just be out of alignment causing the nerve ending that ends in your toe to be acting up. They help with little things like that all the time. A lot cheaper than all the tests and specialists a physician would send you to!!! Good place to start if it is not related to a boot, in your case!!
So there are a few things that could cause it........
Hope these ideas help.

I artwork for a podiatrist and he advised me that top heels are the worst form of shoe on your ft. He shows alternating between extreme heels and residences so that you do not finally end up arising bunions or different toe deformities. so some distance because the tingling on your feet, you ought to make certain your clinical professional about this and get his opinion. think about some nerve harm.

Did you start wearing a new pair of shoes? It could be pinching a nerve and tweaking your toe. Try different shoes for a week and see if it helps. Tingling in the digits is almost always about pinched nerves in one way or another.

Well If it keeps it up go get checked out. I have MS and way back before I was DX my Little finger would get that way. What side is it on left or right? Most MS symptom are on the left side. Please if it don't go away or gets worse go get checked. If it is MS the sooner you know the sooner you can get on meds.
