sometimes it can be how they are laced but that should have shown up from the first time you wore them.

do you change directions on the track to balance it out? i don't know that this would create numbness but thinking if you've done everything right otherwise, maybe something's getting slightly stressed in one direction, culminating in the numb reaction.

just a thought.

Yeah, I only run in one direction because I like running on the inner-most lane and usually other people are there, so I can't change directions...But thanks for the tips and I'll see if it continues, and maybe try getting new shoes.

It's very possible your IT band at your knee is irritating the peroneal nerve, which runs from the knee to the outside of your foot, then to your toes. I've had this happen. Running one direction on a track, especially an indoor track, will absolutely contribute to ITB problems. Change directions! New shoes most likely won't help. You may be in for worse problems if you continue on your present course.
