Hello,
The numbness of the heel can be related to many medical conditions. One of the common causes is overuse of the legs. Diabetic neuropathy can also be a cause. So, I suggest to do a complete blood test and a glycemic level for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
