Dear Nancy,

Two reasons at least. First feet tend to swell into your shoes as you work which makes them tighten and cut off blood supply. Secondly, the bigger muscles take up more of the working blood and feet get on the short end of the stick. Lastly, there is an odd nerve lesion called Morton's Neuroma, usually between toes 3 and 4 at the end of the foot and beginning of toes which really makes tingly pain, sometimes severly. Best and simplest advice, get larger shoes and socks. If  it continues, check with your doctor re circulatory problems.
