Who Has Second Toes Longer Than Their Big Toes?

[CO Liberal]

Inspired by JimmyJazz's thread, I just took a picture of my own feet:



If you have a digital camera handy, take a picture of YOUR feet and post it. If you can't post a picture, let us know if your second toe is longer than your big toe, the same length, or shorter.

BTW, The Princess wants to see LOTS of pictures of male DU-er feet!!!!

[n2mark]

1. My toes are all down hill!

[DeepGreen]

Same here - all down hill eom

[alexisfree]

2. ohmg!!

mmm you need a pedicure!

[RevolutionaryActs]

3. My mom does, as does my brother...

I do not though, my dad had short toes, so do I. Except I have a long big toe (damn my moms genes! hehe)

Edit to add: Ok you said post a pic of your feet.. LOL here it is! Too bad my webcam is so shitty...

[Dr.Phool]

4. Do you chew your toenails?

Just joking. I'm back on the Stoli again tonight.

[DeepGreen]

5. I know someone who does,,,, (it is not me !)

:)

[meganmonkey]

6. My second toes are longer too! n/t

[kc.ink]

7. captain obvious. . . . . . . . ."Nothing better to do Day" n/t

[hickman1937]

8. It's called Hammer Toed,

And chances are, you have better balance than most people you know.

[JVS]

18. I heard it was called Morton's Toe

[St. Jarvitude]

22. Hammer toe is this:

It's when the second toe is severely arched and ends up pointing downward.

[Digit]

25. Yep, with a nice bunion, too.

I used to sell shoes many years ago and I would see some nasty feet.

[Radio_Lady]

35. Gorgeous... (sorry... is this your foot?)

No more high heels for me!!!

[St. Jarvitude]

50. If my foot looked like that I would cut it off

So no... I've got lovely hairy feet but no camera to take it with.

[CO Liberal]

30. Then Why Am I Always Falling Over Stuff???

I was an awkward kid who became an awkward adult.

[Shopaholic]

9. I do!

There's also a gap between my big toe and the rest of my toes you could park a truck in.

[hickman1937]

10. Consider your self blessed. n/t

[hickman1937]

17. It means your balance is supported,

not just from your big toe, like most people, but by the second toe too.

[Hans Delbrook]

11. Ahh, coup-de-toe! nt

[LiberalFighter]

12. Would they be longer if the big toes were straight?

[Jamastiene]

13. Mine are.

I don't have a picture, but mine are about a quarter of an inch longer.

[EstimatedProphet]

14. I do

No camera though

[Benson]

15. I used to date a qirl with FINGERS for toes!

She could scratch my back!

I'm not kidding. Man it was freaky. She could hang from trees with those toes! She's probably typing on a board somewhere right now (and not with fingers!).

She threatened to eat Chinese food using chopsticks with them.
She scratched her cat's ears with them.

And she was a real babe, too. just think Katie Holmes mixed with the feet of Kira (from Planet of the Apes).

[Acryliccalico]

16. I do too

My last husband (passed in 2002) told me that he had a girlfriend long ago that had toes for fingers. Born that way. He called them thoes.

[barb162]

33. you're giving me nightmares and I am not asleep

[babylonsister]

39. Sounds like you left too soon. What the heck

might you have missed?

[u4ic]

53. That's me!

My SO says I've got monkey feet.

When something falls on the floor (like a pen or spoon) I pick it up with my feet. Doesn't everybody?

[SidDithers]

61. Is that Ralph with the pie all over him?...

It's a good look :)

Sid

[Placebo]

19. Shorter!

Only mutants have that weirdo longer second toe, it's just not normal! lol

[put out]

26. We have been plotting for many years.

The longer second toe is how we may identify one another. Just observe us whenever feet are bared. There is a signal, which I am commanded never to reveal.

But we all, with the longer second toe, know what I mean.

[Shananigans]

20. Toze

Sadly enough, I had a toe picture lying around. Unfortunately you can't really tell that my second toe IS longer than my big toe. But here ya are!

[smbolisnch]

21. Mine are!!

And here I thought I was the only one! ;)

[Bzzzz]

54. Me too!

I'm right here with ya!

[Taxloss]

23. You're all freaks!

I don't have any pics of my feet. However, many years ago, I got extremely stoned and rang my fiancee because I thought my toes looked like "space monsters".

[put out]

27. Read post #26.

You were not stoned. You were getting a big old space signal.

[dweller]

24. okay, here's 2

of my four...they all look pretty much alike.


guess i need a brushing :)
dp

[merh]

28. Second toes are longer than the big toes and third toes are

as long as the big toe. :shrug:

I also have always used my toes to pick things up, my mother had us exercise to do this when we were kids, something about helping our balance and keeping us from wearing funny shoes. :shrug:

(Have a camera, just no way to post)

[tinfoilinfor2005]

29. Second toes longer here too

but they are camera shy. I wonder if * has toes, or cloven hooves?

[Schema Thing]

31. I'm sure you're all great people

but you freak me out just a little bit!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

32. Second toe is longer here, too!

Can't post a pic 'cause I misplaced my cable to my camera.

I believe the balance thing. I used to be a gymnast and all the other girls who were also good had 'freak' second toes.

[CO Liberal]

34. I Guess I'm The Exception To The Rule

I trip over pebbles, and one time broke my pinky toe walking across my kitchen.

[barb162]

37. how did you don that walking in the kitchen...trip on something?

[CO Liberal]

41. We Had Just Moved Back Into Our House....

...after it had been moved. We hadn't unpacked our china yet, so it was in a box sitting on the kitchen floor. And as I walked from the master bedroom through the kitchen one night, I cracked my pinky toe on the right foot against that heavy box of dishes.

The next day we had to go buy me bigger shoes, because all of a sudden, none of my shoes fit...

[Radio_Lady]

47. I broke a small bone in my left foot...

on a handicapped ramp at the end of a sidewalk! I was wearing pretty little dress sandals. I had to spend eight weeks in a hard cast and had pain in that foot for more than a year after that.

It isn't worth it, folks. Thank goodness for Birkenstock sandals... not beautiful, but comfortable and who cares about how they look?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

49. LOL

Maybe it doesn't apply to men? :P

[barb162]

36. I do and the shoe makers don't make shoes for us. Pisses me

off. Have any of you noticed that shoes are made for people with the big toe as the longest toe? At least this applies to fashionable women's shoes

[Radio_Lady]

40. Women's fashionable footwear...

... is not made for the human foot, no matter what description!

[Radio_Lady]

38. Google finds lots of information for Morton's Toe...

What is Morton's Toe?

Morton's Toe is a common forefoot disorder where the second toe is longer than the big toe. The big toe is called the hallux.

What Causes Morton's Toe?

Morton's toe leads to excessive pressure on the second metatarsal head. The second metatarsal head is behind the second toe at the ball- of-the-foot. Excessive pressure causes pain similar to the discomfort associated with metatarsalgia. The constant pressure placed on the longer second toe while walking or standing can lead to callus formation under the second metatarsal head.

Can Morton's Toe be Treated?

Yes. Treatment includes wearing proper footwear. Proper footwear usually contains a high and wide toe area. Sometimes, it may be necessary to buy shoes that are a half size larger to accommodate the larger second toe.

A metatarsal pad may also be used to help reduce stress on the ball of the foot.

[smbolisnch]

42. Interesting.....

I never knew it had an actual name, or that it was a disorder! :)

[chefgirl]

43. Wow, I never knew it was a disorder

Damn, now I'm not so sure I want to admit my second toes are longer.

Do I win back points if ALL my toes are unnaturally short to begin with, thus rendering my second toes the only normal sized ones??

Guess I have to be content to be a mutant. :silly:

-chef-

[barb162]

46. well I can add this to my long list of other disorders that I knew

I had

[barb162]

44. oooohhh this is interesting. I read somewhere that about 10%

of people have this (longer second toe)but I didn't know it was a "disorder." I always end up with shoes a half size or more larger as I can't get my foot in the shoe size which I supposedly wear when my foot is measured.

[Radio_Lady]

45. Do You Know What A Hallux Is?

It's your big toe!

Learn something new every day. Use the Internet!

Hallelujah!

[barb162]

48. Actually, no. Guess I have never seen a need to know the

technical/medical names for each toe.

[yvr girl]

51. Almost a perfect arc from my big toe to my baby toe

Could have been drawn with a protractor.

[outraged2]

52. mine are

... no photo(e)s though

[amazona]

55. yikes...no thanks

When I was a kid, I was shocked and horrified by people who had those second toes longer than the first. It just didn't seem right.

[JimmyJazz]

56. Jeez Wayne - I'm glad I inspired you!

But, the picture of the hammer toes was a little scary. And no, my second toe is not longer.

Let's play a little game: Guess what Donna got from Santa.




If you answered "a digital camera" - you win. :hi:

[CO Liberal]

57. I Was Thinking Either A Digital Camera or Nail Polish

:-)

[tibbir]

58. My second toe's no where as long as your's is

but it's longer than my toe. Don't have a picture of it though.

[Samurai_Writer]

59. My second toes are longer than my big toes....

See???

BTW, I recently won an online contest for 'sexiest feet'. Woohoo!



Peace,
Bella

[Bossy Monkey]

60. Me, me, me (but you ain't gettin' no pictures)

Right foot 2d toe is shorter than it used to be due to a tragic accident at Bust Your Butt Falls, NC. (I busted my toe instead.) Actually, it looks like gazillions of years in shoes meant for people with longer big toes has curled both of my 2d toes to the point that they aren't longer anymore. Anyway, they used to be.

[ohio_liberal]

62. Definitely longer second toes
