Top of right foot has numbness from too much walking?

Hello. I recently moved to Melbourne and have been walking everywhere. We didn't have the internet, which I was normally always on, so I did other things. I ended up walking to the shopping centre quite often, which is a 2.5k trip there, and then a 2.5k trip back. I'm actually underweight, just by a bit, even though I do eat all my meals.

On Thursday, my legs and feet were hurting a lot. I could feel pins and needles and also numbness. I've never felt such pain in my life! But I still had to walk the trip home. After I got home, I noticed that the top of my right foot was numb to touch. I can still move it, and it has feeling, it's just slightly numb. It's still numb. I did go to the shopping centre despite the numbness yesterday. I'm just wondering if this is normal because I never use to exercise, or if it's because I'm underweight, or something else?

Thanks in advance,
Zoee.

This is NOT normal and if it persists you should consult your physician.  What kind of shoes did you have on during your walk?

Are your shoes to tight? You might strech before your walk and yes this encludes your feet.
