See a doctor: He needs evaluation and treatment to determine if there is a muscle or bone problem causing the toe walking. This needs to be treated before it is a major problem.

Depends on age: Toe walking is normal in toddlers learning to walk & quickly disappears. Toe walking persisting longer or associated with physical findings should be investigated. Autism & CP are two most common serious reasons. Habituation is a common benign reason. Toe walking per se is not dangerous, it's cause needs elucidation.
