I'm 5'6 tall and I wear size 7 shoes. 2 of my close relatives have been surprised by my shoe size recently (they think it's too big for girls in our society). I don't know if I should feel happy about my elongated feet or get depressed. I've always hated my aquiline nose as well bcuz frnds used to call me bridie birdie...hmph! I’ve got greek feet.

I have such short little toes that a friend -- perhaps I should say "friend"-- once told me that they looked like little hot dogs stuck to my feet. Ever since, I have been carefully choosing sandals that hide the base of the toes so that nobody can tell just how short they are. Plus, my feet are not small, and absurdly wide. Love those Greek feet of yours, my dear, they are far more graceful than the peasant feet of some of us! However, I am inspired by the Manolo's kind and eloquent wisdom: "Dress well, live well, treat others well, and do all you can with joyful confidence and others will invariably come to love your flaws as you yourself cannot." I will do my best to follow his wise advice, love my funny feet, and see what comes. I would dearly love to have a second toe longer than my big toe.

It never EVER occurred to me to think that it made my feet uglier. It still doesn't and I always thought that feet with shorter second toes looked kinda weird (probably because I was used to how my own feet look). The problem is one I cannot quite wrap my mind (or longer second toe) around... my second toe is the same length if not a millimeter or two longer than my first toe.

My family make fun of them saying they look like frogs toes. I hate it when you stub you big toes I stub my second toes and it bends in under and hurts like hell. Although I have greek feet, wide feet, varicose veins right down to my feet and a hideous purple birth mark all down my left leg and foot, the only thing that makes me feel better are a damn fine pair of shoes! I don't care if other people see and what they think, I LOVE MY SHOES!!! I have these toes too! My family make fun of them saying they look like frogs toes.

In Trinidad I was told this was a "rule your husband" toe (like redwards). I did hide my toes for years, until about 17 or so? I still refuse to wear peeptoe shoes as emphasizing the long second toe, but as long as I am showing at least four toes (preferably painted toes), I have managed to become comfortable with my own feet. Plus it gives my feet character. But I love hearing it was prized by classical sculptors! I also have a longer second toe feet, and bunions, both inherited from my father.

This is considered a good thing with us, and those of us with longer first toes grumble about it!

I have not-so-nice toes after rheumatoid arthritis did a number on my feet.
