I get the same thing. It's very similar to something I used to get in in my hands which was compression of the ulnar nerve causing pins and needles in my pinky and half my ring finger (I fixed this by swapping to classic bend bars, not having the flat tops stopped me rotating my wrists inward and leaning on the outside of my palm)
My anatomy is total rubbish but is there a foot version of the ulnar nerve (fibular nerve?). the pins and needles of little toe and half the next toe is very similar. Continuing with this line of extremely tenuous thinking, maybe there's too much pressure on the outside of the foot, not enough arch support? I've also tried wider shoes and it made no difference.
What say you, internet bike fitters?
