What Causes Recurring Tingling Sensation In Feet While Walking?

Hello, I am a 73 year old male in fair shape. Am very active at my home and garden which is large. I have found that on a concrete surface as in a mall, walking sometimes causes tingling in both feet. If I preservere, it usually subsides. Will if I sit down for a few minutes. Never happens out in the garden or lawn.
