For those of you who don't know, Morton's Toe is when your second toe is longer than your big toe. This doesn't really have anything to do with SCUBA, I'm just curious (well, I guess technically it could present problems with boots and fins).
 
12 votes so far? Come on...I know you all have toes! Let's hear about your feet dammit!!
 
I have Morton's reservations, for this Saturday evening. Sometimes you have to have a steak.
 
Because of an industrial accident, my big toe is shorter than its neighbor, maybe 1/4". Causes no real problems, though makes that foot a shoe size smaller and foot slides about more.
 
Check out http://www.23andme.com. They have a survey on physical traits. I assume you'd be very interested in the results of that survey. :cool2:
 
Interesting fact, since most of you have Morton's toe:
"A longer second toe has often been associated with royalty, particularly during the rule of the Ptolemaic dynasty when Egypt was under Greek rulership. It was an idealized form in Greek sculpture, and this persisted as an aesthetic standard through Roman and Renaissance periods and later (the Statue of Liberty has toes of this proportion)."-Wikipedia

Could pointy cowboy boots cause this condition?

I can see why women wearing high heel shoes would have this.
