Hello @erice10, Welcome to Connect. I have not had COVID but I do have small fiber peripheral neuropathy in my feet. Here are a few references to information on studies on the topic of neuropathy in the feet following COVID.
-- Peripheral Neuropathy as a Complication of SARS-Cov-2: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7673277/
-- COVID-19 Peripheral Neuropathy: A Report of Three Cases: https://www.cureus.com/articles/69236-covid-19-peripheral-neuropathy-a-report-of-three-cases

Have you discussed the numbness and joint stiffness in your feet with your doctor or thought about seeking an appointment with a neurologist?

Thank you for the information! I have discussed this with my doctor. I have also seen a hematologist, rheumatologist, and vascular surgeon for all of my post-Covid symptoms. I will check into seeing a neurologist.
