I think many of us have tricks to take the pressure off the feet.

Some nerves go around the ankle bone and down to the toes.
Pressure on the heel may compress these if they are already sensitive.

I stick my feet out alot. Also I use a very soft pillow I sometimes put them on in bed. Once you fall asleep, the signals to the brain are not perceived and so eventually you move around and the feet do too. My left foot is much more sensitive than the right.
