Good evening sir, It depends: In what circumstance did the numbness occur? Do you know what caused it? Is there anything apparent on your toe? Thanks for those details!" And yes, I am doing great. Thanks for asking 😊 It's a good bet that the numbness is from compression under the ball of the foot caused by your new boots (they don't necessarily have to be tight, just have a "bump" that points to a nerve under the foot). So I recommend avoiding these boots at all costs for the next 7 days. If the numbness is not gone by that time, a podiatrist will be consulted.
