I wear high heels and I can't stop wearing them. First I noticed my smallest toe was numb, then next one was numb, and now the third and the fourth are all numb. I am so worried. I can't feel any pain when i pinch my toes or scratch them. And they were mild blue color. I think I killed my toes!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!

You are definitely having some circulation problems if your toes are turning blue and you have no feeling in your toes. You need to STOP wearing shoes that damage your feet, which high heels do and see a doctor immediately. I would not wait 'til tomorrow or next week, I would go now. When you go, wear your slippers or a nice low heeled pair of shoes. Do not wear high heels anymore until you get this problem taken care of.

I think that from the unanimous answers you got the idea, that you should, at least for a while, put on hold you high-heels wearing mania. After a few weeks (or months) you can start with a slow reintroducement of high heels - qualitatively (2 instead of 4-5 inches) and quantitatively (4 instead of 8 or more hours a day). Hope in helps!

you're going to have to stop wearing heels for awhile. At least only wear shoes that have round toes, no pointy toes. you're cutting off the circulation.

Taryn Rose makes good heels for people with foot problems. You can also have a surgery to make your toes more heel friendly, but it will reverse itself I think

Neuromas. A growth of nerve tissue — known as Morton's neuroma or plantar neuroma — can occur in your foot, most commonly between your third and fourth toes, as a result of wearing tightfitting shoes. A neuroma causes sharp, burning pain in the ball of your foot accompanied by stinging or numbness in your toes.

A neuroma is a noncancerous (benign) growth of nerve tissue that can develop in various parts of your body. Morton's neuroma occurs in a nerve in your foot, often between your third and fourth toes. The condition isn't a true tumor, but instead involves a thickening of the tissue around one of the digital nerves leading to your toes. Morton's neuroma causes a sharp, burning pain in the ball of your foot. Your toes also may sting, burn or feel numb if you have Morton's neuroma.

Also called plantar neuroma or intermetatarsal neuroma, Morton's neuroma may occur in response to irritation, injury or pressure — such as from wearing tightfitting shoes. But Morton's neuroma may also occur for unknown reasons.

Treatments for Morton's neuroma commonly involve changing footwear, resting your foot, and using arch supports or pads to help take pressure off the area. In some cases, your doctor may recommend anti-inflammatory drugs, a cortisone injection or even surgery if you have Morton's neuroma.

Ok.
A) Stop wearing High Heels.
B) Go see your physician- either they will help or recommend you too a podiatrist
C) try gently massaging them to see if you can re-stimulate feeling in then.
And
D)Run objects(that won't cut them) up and down your toes bearing down a little harder each time to see how much feeling is actually lost.
