A member asked:

Is it weird that my hallux (big toe) is a lot longer than my other toes?

4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Maybe: The hallux is supposed to be bigger than the other digits. However, there is a condition called macrodactyly which is essentially enlarged toes. I would recommend evaluation by a podiatrist.

No.... not weird: It is actually a genetic trait that is passed down.
