Posted October 20, 200816 yr Morton's Toe is the common term for the second toe (second from innermost) extending further than the great toe (Hallux). In reality, this is not entirely true, as Morton's Toe is typically due to a lengthened second metatarsal. This promotes an anterior position of the second metatarsal-phalangeal (MTP) joint in relation to the Hallux. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton's_toe
October 20, 200816 yr My second toe is longer than my big toe. Mr. xumelanie calls this the freak toe. I always tell him that my toes are normal and his are the crazy ones!
October 21, 200816 yr I refuse to show a photo, but the toenail of my second toe begins where my big toe (toe, not the toenail) ends. Yeah, I'm the poster child for Morton's toe. :-| EDIT: Not my pic, but from wikimedia - in my case, the big toe and second toe look like this, but the third toe is even with the big toe: clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 21, 200816 yr Rumors have it that people with the second toe tend to be the dominant one in the relationship. Do you or your spouse/partner consider yourself the dominant one in the relationship?
October 21, 200816 yr Good question - even though our personalities are different (he's more calm cool and collected, like THAT's a shocker), we're both pretty even when it comes to decisions about, well just about anything. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 21, 200816 yr I can use my second toe to cross over my big toe and crack my big toe knuckles. Yes, I have monkey feet. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 21, 200816 yr BTW, I have none of the problems with my longer second toe that are described in the wikipedia article. No pain, no toenail problems. It is just a foot with a longer second toe. ;) My daughter calls it the "Daddy Toe".
October 21, 200816 yr ^Me either, although I had to say "Pass" on the pointy-toed shoe trend a few years ago. And despite what you people might think, I never had ANY inclination to ever take up ballet but apparently it's not an option for those with Morton's toe. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 21, 200816 yr All my current shoes are flat front and I don't have any problems with the second toe rubbing, I haven't worn rounded shoes in a couple of years now. I never got into the pointed shoe fad that I see in some international airports.

October 21, 200816 yr Given the statements that have been made about those who have a longer 'second toe' I often wish for this to be true for me. Unfortunately I just have a 'second toe' that is even with my big toe.
October 21, 200816 yr Now that we have the "second toe" covered, who would be the big toe of this forum?
