Second toe longer than big toe

[LiIo]

Not an AIBU but wanted to see poll results plus it’s a Sunday evening and I’m bored…

My second toe is notably longer than my big toe.

It’s called a Morton’s toe its recorded prevalence varies in different populations, with estimates from 2.95% to 22%.

Doesn’t really bother me but none of my friends have it so was wondering if any MNers have it. I seem to have inherited it from my father and apparently it is more common in men.

It is supposedly associated with naturally athletic people, which fits with me but definitely not my father!

So, is your second toe longer than your big toe? (YABU - No, YANBU - Yes).

Yep. On both feet.

Apparently when I was born the doctor I need itself asked who I got the cow toe from

I don't know what to vote but my toes are like this. I wouldn't say I was particularly athletic but I'm reasonably fit and have never been overweight.

@Whatelsecouldibecalled Cow toe?! Not heard that one before! I’m surprised the doctor mentioned it ha 😂

Mine are the same length.

No. But my mum has that.

Yes. And I'm about as athletic as a bag of tatties.

Mine is on both feet! My sister, mum and niece also have a second toe bigger too. The most athletic I am is walking to the fridge though.

No, but all of my toes are stupidly small and I’ve always blamed my ridiculous clumsiness on them. They’re not long enough to hold me up 😂😂

I have my second toe quite considerably longer than my big toe. I am fairly athletic. I think DH is the same too but not such a big gap.

second toe definitely longer and it appears i've passed it on to my newborn 😂

Yes mine are

I have it and I'm extraordinarily unathletic. I run like phoebe buffet and I'm so uncoordinated they worried I had dispraxia as a child

Yes and I’m reasonably fit and enjoy being fit.

My toes go down in size in order. Like a slide. Feet are strange things.

yes for me, I’m not athletic but am more so than my not long second toe siblings

My second toe is quite a bit longer and I am steadfastly non athletic.

I've always known it as a Greek toe and someone once told me that's what the statue of liberty has. Keep meaning to do a Google images!

Mine is longer on one foot but not the other. I’d never heard it associated with athleticism - could be something in it, I’m a runner, but love most sports.

Yes mine are on both feet, but no one else in the family has it.
Im fairly athletic but not sure if there’s a link.

I have this.

Neither of my parents, siblings or my children do.

I’ve heard it called a “classical foot” which I prefer!

i don’t think it’s that unusual although obviously less common that the big toe being longer.

Im not particularly athletic

Yes, and so has my mum.

Apparently it's a sign of a witch. Or so we all told ourselves as teenagers 😂

I reckon mostly people whose second toe is longer are going to click on the link, so you’ll get a misleading poll 😁

Mine are! On both feet

Yes, but actually, it's like my big toes are too small. My second toe is longer, but in line, IYSWIM, with my other toes, but my big toes are much shorter. Same on both feet.

Yes, I think so too - either that or Mnetters are really bucking the global trend!
