My second toes in my feet are much longer than my other toes. how is it longer than my big toe? in addition, it almost always hurts when i walk a lot.

This is normal: 30-40% of the population have a longer second toe than the other toes. This is very normal. The reason that it hurts when you walk a lot is that the long toe is grabbing to the ground and thereby causing the pain. Try vaseline to the area, and make sure that your shoes are large enough to accomodate the longer toe. If this is still bothersome, see your podiatrist for other solutions.

Plenty of people : Have the 2nd toe as their longest toe. Make sure your shoes are long enough. Often, the length difference can result in pressures on the toe or ball of foot which can cause varying amounts and types of pain.
