They're not that bad. But I have seen prettier and he has hurt my feelings, bastard.

I have monkey toes, and I'm quiet proud of them, can even write with pen in them (although have to remember not to chew the pen afterwards)

Don't take it to heart, my OH and I always joked that if our DD got his nose and my toes, we'd start a plastic surgery fund for her. Thankfully we appear to have escaped both.

No one is perfect.

I thought second toe longest was Greek Foot?

Apparently the statue of liberty has toes like this so you're in good company Smile

According to Chinese medicine, it's all about characteristics. People with longer second toes are more Earth types, people with longest first toes are more Wood types. Problems with toes can be linked to various health issues as well - negligible little toe nails, for example, can be linked to lower back issues but also to bladder weakness. I could go on and on about it but you'd all get very bored - you can look it up if you want to know more about it :)

When you say "linked" you forgot to add "in the minds of reflexologists and has never been bourne out via experiment".

Anyhoo, OP, better to have Hobbit's toe than Camel's foot.

No I didn't forget anything of the kind, Heracles - I was talking about Traditional Chinese Medicine. Been around for a few 1000 years. Might not have been borne out by recent research types but they've been using it awhile over in China.
