    The usual culprit is ill-fitting shoes that are tighter than they should be in the toe area. High heels are especially problematic. Cramps are also attributed to a calcium deficiency so you may want to check that you're eating enough dairy foods, fish with tiny bones (such as salmon, anchovies and sardines) and drinking enough milk. Toe cramps tend to rear their ugly heads when feet have been confined to shoes for hours. Athletes also suffer from them and find that sports massage can be very beneficial. Yoga newbies are surprised when they find that the very exercise that should keep their bodies supple causes pain and discomfort.
