I never realized I had “abnormal toes” until I went swiming one day and my older cousin asked, “What is wrong with your toes?” I was only nine years old. I checked all of my family members toes, until I found my aunt. The difference between us was that she was confident and didn’t care.
In high school I never wore flip flops. When I got to college I figured it wasn’t a big deal…atleast I have toes. Right? One day at the super market a lady stoped me alon...Read the full article

Same for me, i never noticed it until my aunte asked me what was worng with my foot, she said it was not like that when i was born, and then i rememberd my mom once saying why i had two toes of the same size, i was 9 or 10 years old.

i lived with it, hiding it all the time, my parents never tried to check what it was. and when i became 30, i decided to find out myslef, and started searching on the web, until i learnd all about it, i have it only on my right foot, and i can't wear high heels, coz my foot will get twiated in a few mints and i will live in pain for a couple of days, i think i have a balance problem, sport shoes are the only comfortable thing to wear.

i still dont think the operations are worth it, how can you stay off your feet for three months, and i think i prefere my little toe more than a big scar.

when i wear something open that can show my toes, i always wear very long skirt, and i keep my right foot under the chair behind me. at least i can show one foot, its sad, but i grateful i have it only in one foot, i thought i was alone, until one day i met a girl who had it on both feet, and then i was grateful.

hope to hear from others
