Clipless pedals and numb feet

I have two recumbents, a Burley Kooshah LWB, and a tandem trike. I have ordinary pedals on my LWB and clipless on the trike (actually, Shimano SPD reversible petals).

The problem is my feet are falling asleep on the trike! After about 45 min of riding, my feet from the cleat up (i.e. to the toes) goes numb. This is quite a nuisance and uncomfortable to boot

Is the problem the clipless pedal/cleats or the fact that my feet are much higher than on my Burley? I did ride the trike for a couple of weeks without clips, but only for short rides. I don't remember any problems then.

What's going on here?

Thanks
