I just learned that my second toe being longer than my big toe is a foot condition called Morton's Toe, and can cause joint problems in the feet and elsewhere. So far, my feet seem ok, though I did have heel spurs back in my late 20s. I've also tended to have sore knees, which made me decide to give up running back in my 40s. I'm currently 53.
On a postive note, a foot with Morton's Toe foot considered aesthetically superior to the "Egyptian foot", where the second toe is shorter than the big toe. Classical statues have Morton's Toe, and our Lady Liberty has it, too. Gee, maybe I should start painting my toenails to show off what might be my most attractive asset!
Does anyone else have this condition, and is it causing you trouble as you get older? I'm wondering if I should take some preemptive action by getting orthotics.
