overlapping fifth toes - Foot Problems Message Board

Jeff Dick · 11-28-2000, 09:10 AM

curious if anyone else was born with an overlapping fifth toe? my little toe on my left foot lays completely over on top of my fourth toe. you can't see my little toe from the bottom side of my foot. the tip of my little toe almost touches my third toe.

Jeff
This is where I found your comments about your overlapping fifth toe - like my overlapping toe on my left foot
I now realise that it was over three years ago

[ Removed ] Jenny had both small toes overlapping like my father.

My father has both his little toes up on top of his foot & near his fouth toe
I have inherited one on the left foot
Do either of your toes overlap like your mother ?
Do any other members of your family have such a toe heredity ?

My father had both his small toes elevated & at right angles - it did not rest on the fourth toe - it sat up on his foot out of the road & apparently quite comfortable
It looked quite unusual
I have similar on my left foot only which means I have different size feet which is more troublesome than the elevated toe -difficult for fitting shoes
Do you have similar ?
