Has anyone ever heard of this and know what causes it?

I have this strange feeling in my toes often where I feel like I need to have something between my toes, or cross my toes. And often I feel like I need to grind my toes into the floor...basicaly I put my feet on the floor and bend my toes back at the knuckle and then push them down back to the straight position. But it crunches a bit in the process. Sometimes I don't have this at all, but when I do have these sensations, I am almost OCD about it. I have to take off my shoes and do stuff all day to try and get rid of the sensation. Someone once suggested that maybe I had a deficiency of some sort, but I haven't been able to find anything on it.

    Ok its started happening to me since reading this, i get loads of things like this where if you don't move you go crazy and have to start jumping about, its like a psychological thing, the more you think about it the more it teases you!

    I think you have answered your own question, it's OCD! Alot of people have OCD and everyone does something different.

    sounds like peripheral neuropathy. Have you been checked for metabolic syndrome? or perhaps diabetes?
