Working from the clue that only one foot is numb, the nerve supplying feeling to that area may be "trapped" at some point in its route from the spinal cord to the foot (i.e., a pinched nerve).
For example, the nerve could be compressed by a vertebral disc in the back, from trauma to the foot, leg or lower back, or after sustained or repeated external pressure to the nerve at a vulnerable site (such as when you cross your leg over your knee).
Numbness from a nerve entrapment often disappears on its own over time, once the compression is relieved.
