Has anyone heard of this? It is the 'condition,' likely genetic, that brings on that the second toe is longer than the first 'big toe'. It's never given me problems, but there are several weird theories and wives tales.
I'm wondering if there is any real scientific basis on why exactly this would happen? Some articles say it is a lack of B6 during pregnancy. Who knows. It tends to give some people some really serious problems with their knees, legs and back. Many (of what I've researched) have said that one must order special shoes if they are having problems.
I spend most of my time barefoot, and have most of my life. Even at my work, I kick off my shoes as soon as I'm at my desk. Perhaps that helped not make me in constant pain like some people claim.
But what I am wondering is some of these speculations say that it comes 'from monkeys' that needed to grip trees and we (the people who have longer second and or third toes) are basically un-evolved monkeys.
Just wondering if anyone has those sort of feet, or if it's extremely common.
My research was mostly just useless idiotic silliness. Maybe you all have heard of it. I did a search here on the forums and came up empty.
