Brief Answer:
Can be a vascular or nerve related cause.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Blue tinge in the toes can be due to a low oxygen saturation. If there is normal oxygen saturation then this can be suggestive of a vascular insufficiency in the legs or a neurological deficit due to chronic problems like Diabetes or due to functional disorder of the nerves or vitamin B 12 deficiencies.

You need a careful assessment by your physician along with investigations like color Doppler study for leg blood vessels for proper diagnosis and further treatment.

I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
