Your big toe, or the second toe in? ---

They’re about the same. My big toe is just a little bit bigger. ---

Index toe. By a good percentage. ---

Big toe. ---

My second toe. And it’s **wayyy** too long. I actually cannot wear some shoes because my freakishly long second toe does not fit in them, which makes it impossible for me to order shoes from catalogues or online! ---

Hmm, just in case this is gender influenced, please indicate your gender. (I’m a guy) ---

The second, by a slight margin. (female) ---

Heh. You actually started a thread about it. 😛 This question derives from a discussion about Uma Thurman’s feet. It was pointed out that her second toe is longer than her big toe (ala Kill Bill: “Wiggle your big toe.” Um. Which one does she mean?). My big toe is longer by a little bit. My baby toes are stunted, but I’ve broken both of them, so that may be the reason. ---

Second toe a good bit longer, and not even a lttle sad about it. Isn’t that how shoes are shaped? Would you want your thumbs to be longer than your index fingers as well? :dubious: 😃 male, btw ---

Equal on left foot, big toe slightly longer on right. Male. ---

Male. Second toe is much longer. I can pick up a croquet ball with my feet(between first and second toes). I can fling golf balls with startling accuracy. ---

Male, second toe by a wide margin. In fact, it is identical in length and width to another part of my body. What? I’m talking about my _pinkie_, ya sicko! ---

Second toe, but it’s a very close thing. I’m female. FWIW, I’m one of the minority of females whose ring finger is significantly longer than her index finger. ---

Male, The bottom of my big toe, is _level_ with the top of my pinky toe. My toes are literally a slant from the big toe being the longest to the pinky being the smaller. Its a wonder I can stand up. ---

Are you gay by any chance? Not that I have a clue, just recall an article on this recently where it’s supposed to be some sort of indicator in women. ---
