It feels kind of numb, but not really because I still have sense of touch.
When I reading about SFN one day, I read an article by a doctor who described it best..."It feels like your socks are bunched up under your toes." When it first started, that's exactly what I thought it was. After a half-dozen times of checking my sock, I realized that wasn't the issue.

No, they're completely numb to the touch. They feel like they went to sleep and didn't wake up. I'm trying hard to think if I've ever felt the sock bunching feeling you're describing... not really. Maybe? It just feels like numbness and tingling like anybody would get if their foot falls asleep, except for me it's permanent in that particular area. To be clear, the tips of my toes are numb with no feeling, and tingling kind of "shoots" through the other toes (and my heel) very occasionally.
