Why are my toes numb?!
Question: Every night, I go to bed, I take off my socks & shoes, and my left (foot) toes are always numb, kind of like that they're asleep feeling, and pointed inward. Any sign of anything? What could it be?

Toes go numb from reduced blood circulation or from nerve damage. If your toes go numb only during sustained walking, then first try to rule out the most obvious cause - your shoes are too tight or too short and that is restricting the circulation and making the toes go numb. Even if you think your shoes are big enough, your foot may be sliding forward in them with each step to cause this problem. Diabetes could be a medical condition that causes numb toes, be sure to discuss with your doctor if the numbness doesn't go away.
Maybe you need bigger shoes.
Have you ever been tested for diabetes which can make your foot (and sometimes, arm) numb? Nonetheless I'd ask my doctor for a referral to a neurologist (a specialist in nerve disease.).
