A normal condition where a foot could go numb is for it to "go to sleep," meaning you have put pressure on your leg that pinches the nerve cutting off communication with the brain or pinching an artery cutting off blood supply. When the pressure is removed sensation will come back to the foot but there will be a strange tingling sensation in the process.
Other than this your feet should not go numb. There can be several abnormal medical causes. A common cause is peripheral neuropathy caused by Diabetes or Alcoholism.
