Big Toes much longer than the rest
by: sv on Tue, Mar 25 2008

Hi,
I am the only one in my immediate family who has toe/bunion problems. I have long toes and all of the others are much shorter going down, like stairs. All my life I have had problems with shoes fitting just right. Because of my long big toes, I would get shoes that were a little roomier for my big toe. This would mean using my big toe constantly for gripping more. If I got the next size smaller, the tip of my toes always felt the hard tip of the shoe and again pressure was placed on the toe. I firmly believe that I have my bunions because of my big toes over powering in size compared to the others and not because of the shoes. It is because of my feet structure that I place particular pressures when walking. Know that my bunion has protruded, the shape of my toes meets into a point. I have not seen a doctor about it and am not sure if a doctor can do anything about it.
