Numbness from high heels

Soak your feet in an ice bath. CBD oil or lotion on your feet helps significantly when wearing heels.

In addition to squeezing your feet, it's possible the high heels put some stress on your hips (probably knees as well...) and there might be some swelling there that is putting pressure on nerves that affect your feet. I have permanent numbness in one foot due to a back surgery and doing a variety of hip, calf, and hamstring stretches helps a lot to keep it from getting worse than it always is. Google "stretches to alleviate numbness in toes" and you'll find a variety of stretches that should help. Good luck!

Same thing happened to me. I wore 4-inch heels for my wedding and my feet got pretty numb afterwards. The pain was gone within a few days and everything was back to normal within a week. I'd give it a few more days but you can always contact your doctor if you're concerned

Unfortunately that's what you get for wearing pumps lol. It will go away in a few days. But if it doesn't you should reach out to your doctor

I wouldn't worry just yet. Typically long term nerve damage would need to be caused by repeatedly subjecting your feet to such abuse - a few hours or one night of ill fitting shoes is unlikely to cause a permanent issue. I'm a pretty active outdoors person, and stuff like shoving your feet into rock climbing shoes that are a couple sizes too small (very common) repeatedly over the course of years is what typically causes irreversible damage.

I would wear comfy sneakers that provide support and ample circulation and avoid constrictive footwear as much as possible. Do some "physical therapy for numb feet" or foot stretches recommended for peripheral neuropathy. Try to prevent your feet from getting cold, which would also cause numbness and reduce blood flow to the area and slow healing. If you are making an effort to be kind to your feet and doing PT exercises, and still experiencing numbness and tingling with no improvement in a week, then I would consult with a doctor.
