I can crack my toes… I have to put my foot in my lap and pull on them, though. I need help with the big toes - someone else had to pull them. Man, it feels so good when they crack. But the best thing was to have my ex pull on my toes and crack them and then rub mint lotion on my feet. I felt like I was walking on air for the next few hours or so. ---

My big toe on my left foot I can pop over and over again, I dont really know why. I pop my other toes as well, about every other day. I pop my neck & back every morning, and constantly throughout the day. I pop my fingers probably 3 or 4 times a day. I pop my elbows & wrists whenever they want to pop. I also pop my knees and ankles. God, it feels so good to pop everything in my body! I love it. I just hope it doesnt cause me joint issues in the future. ---

Oooh yes, and I love it. Especially my big toes. Actually it’s only the big toe and the middle toe that I can crack. ---

Do it all the time. Once I was cracking my (finger) knuckles in front of a co-worker and he mentioned how he always hated that sound. I said “Oh you’ll really love THIS!”: kicked off a shoe, rolled my toes with a satisfying “pop, pop, pop, pop, pop”. He actually did a full-body shudder. I think I actually gave him “the vapors.” ETA: I actually met a kid growing up who could _SNAP_ his toes! There’s something you don’t see every day! ---

My toes flex and snap at the “moment of the Clouds and Rain”. ---

I can, although not as often or reliably as my knuckles. I can also do one of my wrists. ---

I can crack my knuckles and my toes as well as one of my knees. ---

I remain surprised at what old threads get exhumed… ---

Cracking my big toes makes lower back pain go away. It’s very strange; must be a nerve thing, or it could just be psychosomatic. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anybody-else-pop-their-knuckles-in-their-toes/270507.md?page=2)
