What Causes Numbness & Tingling In Calves & Shin?

Hi, a couple of months ago i started getting uncomfortable feelings in my calves and shins, I would describe the feelings as numbness and tingling. I have been getting identical pain in both of my legs, meaning they often feel weak and sore. On one of my shins i have recently also started getting a couple of sensitive invisible bruises. What do you think this is/what should i do to treat or fix this? I wondered if it might have something to do with wearing shoes too tight? Many thanks for your time :)
