Is it normal to have your feet go numb while on the elliptical?

My feet go numb (pins and needles) 20 minutes through my elliptical session... I don't think my shoes are too tight. Is there something wrong with me?

    You may need to move your feet on the pedal portion of the elliptical from time to time. I have noticed this every now and then when I am on one. Usually it occurs when my toes, heels or some part of my foot is jammed up against some portion of the pedal for too long. Shift your feet in the pedals from time to time.
