When I was a young teen I was very concerned about my second toe being longer than my big toe. I was reluctant to wear sandals. I thought my feet were freakish. I attribute this to feet pictures in beauty magazines read by young teen girls. I hated my feet because of the second toe length. I wanted to hide my feet.
Somewhere in the middle of 9th grade, I started to look at other people's feet in sandals. I noticed that very many people had a second toe longer than the big toe. I realized that if so many people had a second toe longer than their big toe, this must be a normal genetic condition and not freakish at all. I stopped being self-conscious about my toes and learned to accept them. I wore sandals with utter abandon. I hardly ever think about them anymore (my toes), and never in a negative way. I feel, at least in this respect, my feet are NORMAL.
So I think that everyone who has a second toe longer than their big toe should start looking at other people's feet around them and learn not to hate their feet. It worked for me. Also, your poll results show that the vast majority of the people who responded have a second toe longer than their big toe. So we are in the majority, folks. I actually think, except for my bunion (acquired from wearing pointy toed high heel shoes), that I have attractive feet. They are certainly better looking than my husband's feet or my son's feet.
I think any attempt at making associations between short and long second toes (like intelligence or artistic ability) is utter rubbish. I found an article on the internet that claimed a study done in Illinois prisons indicated that serial killers all had second toes longer than their big toe. They study seem to imply that therefore all persons with long second toes were serial killers. Complete and utter rubbish besides being bad logic and bad science.

Look
at your hands.If our ancestors had feet like our hands,longer
second toes make better bipeds.
-
All
the comments posted are wrong. The longer second toe is
due to Celtic tribes being Hunter-gatherers for longer
than most other tribes of Anglo Saxon origin, which due
to switching to farming lost the need for the gripping
longer second toe. It is evolution, not a medical condition.
-
My
second and third toe on both of my feet are longer than
my big toe -' but.......... so are both of my fingers
on both hands(middle and ring) are both longer than my
index finger - i am 100% irish descent - any thoughts??????
-
After
reading that the longer second toe indicates a Celtic
heritage, I began taking sneak peeks at people's feet.
I see quite a few of these "Morton's Toes" on
people of Mexican and Thai extraction!!! What gives?
-
Actually
the second toe being longer than the first is a condition
called "Morton's toe". It is a condition that
about 1/3 of the population has. It causes pressure to
be displaced on the center of the foot and can cause foot
pain if high heeled shoes and hard surfaces or walk on
often. The longer 1st toe has nothing to do with evolution
(as stated in the last post by somebody) our feet are
a hereditary trait (we get from our parents). I myself
have a longer 3rd toe on both feet stemming from the fact
that both of my parents have a longer second toe.
-
Toes
are just toes. Length doesn't mean anything. Sorry,
but Science beats beliefs and "sayings"! Hahaha.
-
I
always thought, when the second toe was longer than the
big toe, that it was "Athena's Foot," because
her statue shows her second toe to be longer than her
big toe. It's a mark of Athen's wisdom.
-
Morton's
toes are on every race and creed. Yes it's genetic, and
no, idiots, it has nothing to do with leadership or intelligence.
Go re-read your tea-leaves. A bigger second toe means:
Sometimes you gotta buy bigger shoes. Period.
-
Instead
of asking which is BIGGEST, shouldn't you ask which is
LONGEST. Biggest also refers to width. Whose 2nd toe is
wider than their 1st toe?
-
My 2nd toe is two and a half inches long and my big toe is only two inches ahhhh please tell me what it means for sure!?
-
My 2nd toe is a bit longer than the big toe and my boyfriend has a foot fetish i get paranoid every time he looks at my toes its weird cuz my feet are small too, i;d like 2 have surgery on my toes cuz i feel like i'm deformed. I never noticed my toes until he pointed it out. But people do tell me i have cute and sexy feet but personally I don't believe it!
-
It's
only a malady with poorly fitting shoes, e.g., high heels.
Pre-man, with hand like feet, began bipedal walking, and
foot-thumbs evolved to become big toes. Those who have
their longest toe inline with the leg are designed to
be *barefoot.*

The
results of this poll are quite surprising. I would not have
guessed that more people have a longer second toe than not.
We will have to start looking at people's feet more.
Have
a look these comments from some of the voters.

Some
studies done in England point to evidence that people
with Celtic ancestry (Irish, Scottish, Manx, Breton, etc.)
have longer second toes. The 2nd toe on my right foot
is longer and on my left foot they are of equal length!
-
I read that if your second toe is the longest it you have
Egyptian origin.
-
A
bigger second toe means royalty
-
Actually on my right foot the two are the same length.
BUT, on my left foot my second toe is longer then my big
toe. lol
-
I always heard it meant you would rule the roost if your
second toe was longer. My husband's also is longer.
-
It's said that if your second toe is longer, you have
werewolf potential.
-
If your second toe is bigger it means that you are the
dominant one in the relationship
-
My dad has the second toe longer and he is not dominant
at all, on the contrary my mom is the ruler of the family. He
is smarter, but not dominant at all... so I believe the
longer the smarter not the more powerful... =)
-
My
3rd toe is the longest!
-
If you can move your little toe easily it means your gonna
do something big in life
-
My Girlfriend has a middle toe (left foot) longer than
any of her other toes. Is this very unusual? I like it
...
-
My doctor told me that 2nd toe larger means more creativity.
For the sake of us with big toe longest I hope he is wrong.
-
My grandma always told me that the one with a longer second
toe was "going to be the boss of the family" ...of course,
she's the same way :)
-
The longer your second toe is, the smarter you are!
-
Longer second toe is evolutionary fallback to our ape
ancestors. Evolution is carrying us slowly toward having
a longest big toe.
-
when
the second toe is longer, i call it the "boss toe"
because those people are more dominant.
-
What
about the third toe being shorter than the fourth?
-
I'm
italian...and when i visited italy, so many people had
the second toe longer than the big toe ...maybe it's an
italian thing too!
-
Toes
are delicious, but girls with longer second toes? Scrumptious.
-
Hey!
I'M Mexican! I guess your theory's right dude. (I have
a longer second toe of course)
-
I
am of 100% Irish descent and none of my toes are longer
than my first (big) toe.
-
People
with longer second toes are freaks.
-
I
read somewhere that a longer second toe showed aristocratic
descent. Has any one else heard this?
-
I
think that this is rubbish. Who ever thought this up has
no idea what there talking about.
-
My
second toe is longest and I hate it, I think it is really
ugly!!
-
My
roommate has a longer second toe and I believe he is a
mutant!
-
My
third toe on both feet is longer than the big toe and
I HATE it. I think it is really ugly and I hope to get
surgery to fix it.
-
Longer
second toe, so I was told while being humiliated in my
childhood, means the possessor has a strong sense of leadership.
-
my
2nd toe is longer too .. ha ha - I guess that means I'm
the smartest? I HATE IT!
