Subject: RE: Bottom of foot going numbI've had the numbness before on my right foot. Usually started out small, but would continure to radiate down the arch and into my heel area. Always appeared around 3 miles. I would try to focus on wiggling my toes, shake my foot and try extra flexing of the ankle to make it stop. During training runs, the thing that seemed to work was to stop running and walk for about 100 yards, working on the wiggling and flexing. Never confirmed if it was a pinched nerve, loss of blood to area or what? When I bought shoes from my LRS, the RUNNER/salesman said to loosen up the laces big time and knot them, plus they were a wider size pair. That also helped.
