What is the benefit of long toes?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Probably no benefit: Probably a benefit in animals that hang from trees, but not likely to be a benefit or detriment in humans. Be happy with your toes, long or short!

Medically, nothing: But you could pick things off the floor ;-) that's actually a question patients ask me when we're planning toe shortening surgery. "can i pick things off the floor still?" long toes don't have a medical advantage.
