Q: overlapping pinky toe
asked by: jarrod on August 26th, 2008

Hi, I'm wondering who else has experience with an overlapping pinky toe. Since I was little, both of my pinky toes have sat just off the ground, not quite touching. Over the last couple of years my right one has lifted to over 1/4 inch off the ground. It now overlaps the next toe all the time. I find that when I walk barefoot or in flip flops, the toe will often ride up even higher and overlap even more. If I try to flex it back down it just ends up back on top of the next toe. Often I don' even realize it's doing this but at the same time I'm still getting used to my toe overlapping like that all the time. Just wondered who else had dealt with this.
Thanks,
Jarrod

P.S. I've found that the cause is a tendon imbalance and right now I'm not looking to spend $$ fixing it. There's no pain or discomfort so I guess I just have to get used to having an overlapping toe.
