Anyone else's toes/feet go numb when working out?

I had this problem and changed the way I laced my shoes and it was instantly fixed. Google image search tying shoes to prevent pain in _____ (whatever area bothers you) good luck

it happens to me every time i'm on the elliptical. i've changed my shoes and tied my laces differently, but no change. i think it's to do with the location of the pressure on the foot. i still just do my workout with numb feet.
i also used to get numb feet when i ran any more than about 10k. then some wonderful person on here showed me several different ways to tie my trainees. now i still get numb feet, but i usually deserve them after running for about 4hrs!!!

I get this too sometimes. Does anyone know if this has anything to do with salt consumption? Should we maybe lessen our sodium intake? Thoughts?

Funny! The girl on the elliptical next to me the other night over heard me tell my friend about that. She said she researched it and also saw a podiatrist, and she needed arch support inserts. This is apparently very common with the elliptical because the foot beds you stand on are so flat. So is a treadmill. Outdoor running you have variations so it doesnt happen then. She said look it up on WebMD. See a foot doctor, or just try a bunch of arch inserts. I am going to do some reading up this weekend.

I totally agree with this! I went to go see my doctor because i was getting that feeling every time i was on the elliptical, treadmill etc. . I unfortunately have a bunion and it started hurting as well. That's when it became a concern. I went to see a specialist, they hooked me up with custom made orthotics and there is a huge difference! I also tie my shoelaces very tight, even for weight training. Im sure this was one of the causes as well. My custom orthotic inserts can fit into heels, running shoes, flats, anything. I wear them all of the time. My suggestion though, don't go to some store and get a random pair of inserts, i had been trying to find an insert that WORKS for the past 6 years, and it got me nowhere until my doctor suggested i see a specialist and get it custom made. Also the really great thing about this was that i definitely needed to change my running shoes, and the specialist gave me tons of options and even told me which ones to stay away from.

This used to happen to me on the elliptical. Switching directions every 10 minutes or so for a few minutes usually helped a bit, but then my feet would always go numb again. I started seeing a chiropractor about a year ago for back issues and I found my feet no longer went numb...so for me, it was an alignment problem.

I also have this same problem! but t doesnt appen on an elliptical. it happens during my cardio classes when i am jumping around alot. I switched to a different sneaker and now it isnt occuring as often but it still happens. i just thought it was happening cuz i was over weight and my feet couldnt support the movement i was doing at my weight. my joints also hurt sometimes after.

lol, I think you're sitting on the toilet too long then!

I have been having this problem since I started jogging again. I bought some new shoes Ascis (same as my last pair just a newer model) in size 6. i tried the bigger size in the store felt like that was too much room in the front of the shoe so I stuck with a 6. I have noticed after about a mile of jogging my left toe starts to go numb and continues to stay numb until I am done running. After reading this thread I think I will try the loosening of laces to see if this helps seeings how it is my left foot and not both. I only notice this numbness while jogging. I have been debating whether I should go the next size up on my shoe to see if that helps but then I would worry about having too much movement and have a new problem altogether.
