Hi
I have overlapping pinky toes on both feet, they don't overlap much onto my fourth toes, but they hardly ever touch the ground. Does anyone else have similar toes?

hi matt78861,
it sounds almost bunionettes - similar to bunions, but occuring on the fifth metatarsals (pinky toes). does it hurt? if it's painful, or uncomfortable, i'd suggest getting an opinion from a podiatrist. wearing orthotics may help. in my case, my bunions were hereditary - and since i've had then forever (age 26 now) i could only fix the pain with surgery. my left foot was done on 02/27/03. i will have my right foot done in 1 1/2 to 2 months. you can read more about bunions on the other bunion-related posts. my friend's mon had surgery for her bunionettes - it was a very minor surgery compared to most bunionectomies. she was out of work for only 1 week. i was lucky - with my bunionectomy, i was out of work 2 days plus my usual 2 day weekend - so i went back to work post-op day 4. hope that helps.

hi
Thanks for your reply. I don't think i have tailor's bunion - i don't have any bumps on the side of my foot, i think my pinky toes just naturally sit higher than the others and they have overlapped onto the edge of my fourth toe since i was 14 or 15. This doesn't hurt and i have not suffered any pain from my toes.
